National Secondary Schools Pocket Bike Racing

[sunhuntin]

I'm a Tech teacher at a school that uses the tools4work stuff. I'm interested in looking at the feasability of this project (and maybe building one too!). What do the actual kits cost?

one of the auto tutors at work who took the students for this said the kits were $300 each, which the students had to pay for, minus the frame. so what the tutor did was got a frame and cut it up then rewelded it step by step so the students knew what to do. i dunno where they got the frames from though

The frames I saw were exclusively engineered from scratch, each the students own design. They varied dramatically, one of them a beautifully ducati-ish lattice frame, and others polished stainless steel, all of them lightweight works of art, and a delight to own and race.

There was nothing looking anything at all like a standard daytona frame.

Fark what a list of hot-up bits. I thought they were supposed to be standard though.. maybe there was a modified class..
