Moped racing is coming to the midwest, and in a big way. Nate and I (aka the Mid-American Moped League) have secured G&J Kartway in Camden OH for 4-5 moped only race weekends. The track is centrally located, super rad and the best part is we have complete control over the track for those weekends (no scooters, gopeds, pocketbikes, etc). The races will be a practice Saturday, race Sunday format. It will be a season format with the winner for each class decided by a points system. Just to clarify any possible confusion, we are not affiliated with the Polini Cup (our Cup is yet to be determined on sponsorship). This is a ground up 100% moped Cup.

Well be running 4 different classes as defined below, a stock class, 70cc (or less) e50 class, specials class and womens class.
