I've just brought my first Nifty 50 with the intention of having a blast riding locally and taking part in a 6 Hour Endurance Race, later in the year. The Spree was brought off a older gentleman who had brought the bike new from the dealer back in 1986 and was very well looked after, I cruise around 47 kph(29 mph) and if I really tuck down with my chin on the speedo I can just make a smidge over 50 kph(30 mph); this is on the original speedo so I realise this might not be completely accurate.
However, while I'm happy with the performance now, I realise I may have to mod my little Nifty 50 to compete in this mopedathon, the only regulations being that your bike must be a two-wheeler and no bigger then 50cc. This means that I will be competing against both bucket racers and pit bikes( however there is a seperate Step-Through competion; I dream of winning the whole thing though

What I'm keen to hear is what you guys think would be the best path to take?
Should I keep the engine stock, focus on my riding style and get some decent tyres?
Or should I follow the outline listed here:

I'd really like to utilise the experience that I've read about in these forums to better help me both compete and enjoy my scooter.
