    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

    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.

    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!


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
