MOPED ARMY

Sounds good, I would have to find a way to transport the ped, and I should probably get around to giving it a tuneup/front brakes. I would like to, but at this point cant commit to it. Good luck though.

I want to get in on the racing excitement too. but I want to get rid of this hangover first.

for 1,2,3 were going to be giving trophoes out "podium". And if we actually get a series going there will be points given out. There are no dues for the club, The only money needed will be for the use of the track, and Id like to have a bbq at the end of the season. As for showing off the bikes We will have a pit area were if people want to they can show off there bikes, Some may not want to reveal too much about their Mods though. It would be cool if IKe or chris from MWH could bring a van up with racing supplies, or spare tires to the race. Im going to contact the tracks on monday, were working on it!

We have an 1/8 mile dragstrip here in Greer, SC, where they race twice a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays. They also drag race motorcycles... I thought it would be fun to get some moped drags going on out there...

Of course, here in SC, 50cc scooters are also considered mopeds, so older mopeds may have to have thier own class, since they can't keep up with the scooters... ;^)

Sorry Don-O!

I was just thinking that it would be cool to have some drag races on peds, maybe a weekend of racing, oval, street course, and drag.

How fast do your mopeds go guys? Im hittin 25 now, but it should go faster once tuned up, and I could always play with different sprocket sizes

northeastern pa?!?!?!? ever hear of pike county?

I called 2 tracks in s. western pa, the they thought I was kidding, They came up with all these excuses about insranse, and only allowing 2 races, and a estimated prce tag of $700 to rent the track for the day, since they have other racing scheduled. Im still looking for an asphalt road course to race on smaller than 1 mile. If any one can help me find one thats available and will let us race let me know I will be searching!!!

Good idea, would all u be willing to come to Pa If I found a track set up in a parking lot

If we did it, would it be like a straight race?...

We should get a race one day, and a show the next. Have like a camp out too.

Me and some friends are interested in doing this race wherever it is... If the race isn't a good track, i would still go, just to see how everything is, and meet new people.

P.S. I will still look for places to race...

i emailed a track here this weekend and the manager wants me to call him. he seems interested im calling tommorow, i will post the results.

I've "borrowed" some large store parking lots in my time for such a purpose, often with (tho sometimes without!) the consent of the business at hand.

For a more organized event, I don't see too big a problem with contacting the management and arranging for liability waivers and perhaps a small rental fee.

It's doable if you can find a manager willing to negotiate.

If I were the property owner, closed or not, I would not allow any type of racing at all, due to liability concerns.

Of course....You could just swarm the place and get out before they realized.

Like the OLD SCHOOL rave culture where parties were always illegal, and there were 4 or 5 backup spots everyone would re-assemble at.

I promise you, they won't let you race there, if they know about it.

Not trying to rain on your race, but property owners are funny about liability.

I learned my lesson, road tires+30mph/dirt road=road rash Still pickin the rocks out

where would you be holding the races?
