Bayden's site lists the local events.
He needs to update it though.

It doesn't matter what you buy, you will end up changing stuff, even if it is the best bucket in the world, if Froggy was selling. Buy a going bucket, at least you'll be out there racing straight away. You'll need a 2-stroke to go REALLY fast and there aren't many choices when you take everything into consideration. If you only require to go fast then a 150 4-stroke would seem to be a good option.

Just been reading the rules...I see you can turbo a 4 stroker if it's under 100cc.

I think I'll still look to build one.

Not that keen, I'll start with an NA engine.

Anyone know if you can use NOS?

if you can start with a lightweight 250 sports bike chassis your on the right road, it will be a good basis to start from and then a deacent powered engine.

Yes you are right glen they have so much potential and so do the good ol RG50 chassis if you do some work to them dont know what your one was like but it looks like it could easialyy do the job a couple of fairings here and there a bit of duck tape and it would be awsome like myne except faster

na my little rg cahssis couldnt handle 22 hp it kept twisting and distorting when you got on the gas..

I think I might have a chassis lined up...just waiting on the dude to call me back.
Gotta find an engine though so keep your ears to the ground for me.

Mines OK(?) with 22.5hp measured at the rear wheel. I have done a few mods to it though.

the only mod to mine is the rear swingarm which is fine, but every meeting i can see that the motor is moving, by huge amounts, not so bad now as i got a new mount welded in but still scary, not to mention the handling, where do i start?? but i still got 5th overall last year so not bad...
