ok its been a while since i have been on here. work schedule change has got me busy. here is the last race of the season videos down in oregon at the mcminnville kart track. Ended up sweeping both the auto and open scooter class and taking 2nd for the championship of the season. had a chance to finish on top but had to miss 1 race in september so that cost me the champonship.

This is the 2nd yr I'm racing with them so they know. The 1st race I did race with them was at my now home track which is the longest and fastest out of all the 4 short tracks we race(.82miles long 14 turns) the 2nd place guy was over 12sec behind and that was on my 72cc setup against 133cc-225cc bikes. They had this look like "what the * just happened"? Who is this guy?the guy that came in 2nd was a open twinns champion on a ducati 996 and season veteran roadracer

Awsome vids,races and thanks for sharing.
I remember back when Oahu had a race track and we were able to do 1/8th miles drags.
It's a PITA trying to find races in Vegas with all the exotics and racing scoops and what not.
I know they have a midnight mayhem drag and brackets here but I don't think anyone brought out the scoot ... Would love to do something like this. I love you street fighter 87 too...
