what speeds do the races usually see?
do you slow down much in the banked corners ?
I think my 87 elite would do well in this race.

I think they would still class it as a scooter.
To be a "moped" ya gotta have pedals i guess.

Travel too expensive = the ONLY reason I won't go.
Well, not entirely true...those gaping cracks in the track are also a bit intimidating...

there are some cracks in the surface
but they are trying to fix them
you can ride on he track anytime it is not fenced off
you just need to pick your line on the track
I was there twice in the last 2 weaks

here is how it looked when it was rediscovered
trees and all growing through the surface

Great links... 
I would ride it, like I said, if it didn't cost so much to get there.
Shet, I'm healing now from a down last Wednesday night.
I don't wreck a lot, but this last one really hurt my right elbow.
No excuses...wasn't geared up proper.
