Re: No wood, but plastic and fake marble works for me!

What a boatload of fun!!! Me and two friends (one of them .org member houston954) raced a YSR50 in a 3-hour endurance race on Saturday, placing FIRST in class, Production Novice. Not bad for the first time for all three of us to race a YSR. Overall, we finished right in the middle, 9th out of 17 teams, and completed 247 laps (.4 mile course).

Three days later and I still can't get over how much fun I had! Gotta get ya some!


-Pete

Re: No wood, but plastic and fake marble works for me!

Holy chit, I thought our .7 mile tracks were small! We only run sprints, but there is talk of endurance racing this summer, well see. I doubt I could do a solid half hour without my hands going to sleep.

Oh man, I don't know if I want to hear more details or not. I haven't seen Pete this excited since he pulled his 1st fourth gear stand-up. I have a feeling this could get expensive for me.

Very tight. What king of gearing are you running, gotta be like 11/46 or so? The tracks we run are HERE.

GFJ, I'm not 100% sure, but I think he's got the bike setup with 11/45.

Here is the track I go to...it's also .7 miles. That one you rode on looks like a kart track from a miniature golf place. Damn that's small.
