Would this Reaper Gen X 150cc be legal for bucket racing?

[Billy]

My gawd Billy, do you know how painful it was following my 10year old around Ruapuna and Levels and he was on an Aprilia RS50 in MCI's training class? Following a pitbike will be like shoving a hot needle in ya eye! A year on hes at a pace thats keeping me from nodding off.

But seriously its a fantasic idea though, it should be able to grab a few of the wee ones before they get a taist of MX. What are your thoughts on lowering the age for racing? 8-13 is a long time to ride around gaining skills they carn't test without applying for a dispensation from MNZ? Even the current 3 years is a wee bit long in my eyes.

Haha,Yea I can imagine it following him around,

Still in the very early stages,But if it takes off as I predict,We'll then start too look at 10 -13yr olds and see what we can arrange

I still reckon there should be an "unlimited" class. Turbo's etc. Then you would see some real creativity.

How unlimited and creative do you need it?

There is a guy on here who is nearly finished building a fuel injected supercharged 100, and he also made his own roots style supercharger for it too, now bike is at the point where it runs, its a very profesional job.

I decided a while back that I quite like the idea of forced induction .... Cheers, -Sketchy

Hey Billy, this has ended up a thread hijack, in a way (but this could be a way of these guys moving the mini motards) but if you want any help/input, I'm more than happy. I'll watch out for this as I have a 8 year old and two pitbikes in the shed, it sucks for him watching his big bro getting track time.

MCI (as you probally know) run a very sucessfull training class down here and they are treated like a class in their race programe, get called up like all the big boys, sit on the grid and get a 15 min session with flag marshalls in place just no racing and and flag fall......works very well. More clubs should embrace this model!

[Billy]

Thanks Billy, that is the answer I had hoped for

All good mate,

Check your email.

Yip,

Have a chat too Yow Ling,Ive sent him an email with a bit of a plan in it for buckets

The idea of metering a set amount of fuel per race/event would be a laugh. My bike would be screwed instantly.

Actually that would be hilarious. An unlimited class - but you only get 1L of gas. Everyone's a winner.......except the guy riding a CX500 or RGV250

[avgas]

We call it F4

Ah ok. So who rides the 100cc Turbo in F4? Seen a dozen or so on trademe. Anyone running a twin or 4 in F4?

Yeah I am looking forward to see that move.
I recall a guy years ago getting something stupid like 120hp from a tiny turbo/supercharged motor a while ago. (perhaps a 250cc?).
I know that IHI do a turbo that fits 100cc applications.

my mate built a rz350 with a turbo on it and got 144 rwhp out of it

I think it would make a cool race. 1 ltr and see how many laps you can do . Bit like the slow races that JC use to do on fun days

Crazyman's twin is nearly finish:
Homemade: Frame & Swingarm,
Watercooled barrels sleeved/ported; billet heads. Hydroformed exhausts

Yip there is more engineering and construction going on in these classes (all within the rules) that likely all the other classes put together.

Gotta add a speed aspect to it though, maybe give points for placings everytime the rider crosses the finish line, that way slow, steady, and boring; gets fewer points, but more often.

Still sounds fukin boring, ooh look we've got 1/4 a tank left

I just figure you guys race around on glorified mopeds anyway right, so getting back to their fuel economic ideals might be welcome

Also, who has a bucket with a fuel gauge anyway? that's not a racing part.
