2018 Mini-moto Race Series

[Manimal]

First off .....SO MUCH THANKS TO ALLEN (his family, and all others behind the scenes) for his continued efforts and support to keeping mini-moto "track" scene going :applause :hail :applause

Who is Allen (for the new)?! Allen has stepped up to the plate to revive the Stockton kart track (where? please review sticky threads for complete track and bike details) bringing moto's back on track, and then some (added Atwater, Dixon, and soon, Prairie City).

Allen is working on 2018 Race Series and Stockton Lil' 99 Open Track Day scheduling (TBD). Additionally, he is now accepting *Membership renewal and new membership.

*Membership: all year access to the Stockton track (each member receives their own key), discount track attendance ($30), and discount race class entry. Non-member cost is $40. There will be some closures due to fairground events (to be announced).

What's new this year?
So far, Allen is doing his best to build up the Kayo 125cc (Based on the Yamaha TTr125 4T motor) GP Cup Series. He is our local Kayo seller. For more details, contact Allen via phone (209 598-3124) and or FB (Facebook) NorCal Mini Racing group. There will be a kids class, as well as a adult class.

Meanwhile, stayed tuned for more updates to come.

Have you seen a schedule for the track days? I haven't seen one for this year yet and the weather is finally getting right

 

[mrzuzzo]

Now that I'm fixing up another Grom, my goal is to make it to open practice this summer once it's ready. I've never been on any track but I'd love to learn.

 

[Aj510]

It's good fun, I've progressed a lot over the last few years riding the kart tracks. And inexpensive

I remember some classes not mentioned there

at Dixon there was a Ninja 250/300 and R3 class (I forget what it was called, Formula Moto maybe? but those aren't what I think when I hear GP chassis), open (aka full size supermoto) Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Vet (30+) open, probably some more that I'm forgetting too.

I don't remember anything on the form about a 65 heavy class but I may have missed it

true! Another example to your point, is the Formula 5 and the 65GP class, which I entered. By the second practice of the Formula 5, it turned into a 65cc spec class, and the 65GP spec class was combined with 85cc / 150rcc :laughing

Therefore, with that said ...... Class(es) and or Class line-up have been modified (subject to change) a bit since Allen initially started the race series, due to class participation, bike(s) / rider attendance, and evolution of bike changes over the years. Regardless, if a rider has a bike(s) and a will to race, Allen is very lenient to modify a class(es) where he sees fit, for everyone to enter a race class(es) to compete and have fun :ride
