Manimal posted this up info from Dixon earlier on another foro:
This is new to the club. So you really won't find much. Yes we allow the larger moto's. We want sliders, handle bar covers, foot pegs that fold up. Then you need the safety gear for a rider. There is no dirt to ride on. This is just the asphalt track.
Due to these requirements I probably wont have my bike ready in time. To get rear sliders I'm probably going to have to take the bike apart again so that I can weld on some rear slider mounts.
If you have rear sets on the bike with non-folding pegs they are allowable with sliders on the ends of them. Ed asked them about that since most MiniGP bikes have pegs that don't fold up.
Ed also suggest getting the bar end lever protectors.
Woodcraft makes some nice ones.
PitBull makes some weld on bungs for stand spools, and you can get spools that double as sliders.
SVRacing makes spool sliders in M6, M8, and M10 sizes. You can also do this the budget way as illustrated in the attached photo. Also there bolt on solutions like this one from T-rex.
In your opinion is it fair for me to show up with a ninja 300 C rider at best? Or not really the time or place?
In my opinion big bikes just aren't as much fun on the kart tracks--for a number of reasons. But also they are not really safe either. And by that I mean they have so much more power than the mini motos that it can cause problems.
But the real reason you don't want to go out there on the big bikes is because it's just not nearly as much fun. When you are on a mini moto that's fairly well matched to your friend's bikes it's way more fun. The greater the disparity within the bikes the less fun you'll have out there.
While you can easily spend over $10K on a mini moto you don't have to go that route. There are plenty of inexpensive bikes to be had. Everything from a small two stroke dirt bike with mini moto wheels to used miniGP. And there are the small Replica bikes that can be outfitted for the track. There are a number of those hiding out that can be found and brought back to the track very inexpensively. There are even some cats that have outfitted their mopeds for the track (I don't mean scooters, but you can outfit those too!).
