Here's a vid from this weekend at AVS drift track (formally the Grange kart track.)
We had a motorized bike race, and a bunch of mopeds showed up.
Here's the mid-range final, with me on my V1 "bicycle," battling James on his ped.
He got me in the end. I finally figured out his line in the last hairpin, and was trying to swoop him on the inside, when he got a little squirrelly and almost took me out.
My top speed in the uphill, 950' straight was 51.4, and my best lap time was 1.17
Fun times...

So much fun! They let folks race in just jeans and knee pads?
Yeah. Not many people do. Mostly just the ones who haven't had a good crash yet.
I don't understand people who think a motocross jersey or some cheap target elbow pads and jeans are gonna save you when you go sliding across the blacktop with your exhaust pinned to your leg.
Looks like a hell of a good time. I used to race in a small open wheel class on dirt, I miss it at times. Except the expense.
"you got lapped" he says to... James "never gets lapped" Culver.
thanks for the video.
That pavement looks so fucking nice.
Id kill for a track day
Baird, Thank you for sharing!
That was such a fun race!
I set my fastest laptimes chasing you down ;)
Here are screenshots of my Track Addict laptimes from that race:
Lap 7 was my fastest lap:
Lap 8 when i past you, i hit 44.7mph on that curve, late braking... i was so on the edge!
I was on my Stock Modified Honda Hobbit (Purple Reign) with 15mm Dellorto.
Sorry, i can't find any pictures of it right now...
