The motard and the Carolinas

[Sean]

Look for shifter kart tracks. Most of them do double-duty as motard tracks.

Also, just because a track has jumps and a dirt section doesn't mean you have to take it. It's usually optional. Most people just skip the dirt, it's just idiots like me that go get our street bikes all dirty.

if you want to get into Mini Motards. Planetminis.com is the place to start. That is where I got my mini motard and the knowledge base and area riding opportunities will be found there. There is more open in North Carolina than East Tenn, so your options my open there. I think they are more about dirt over there though. We have a mini motard/shifter kart track opening not too far from my place sometime soon though. I am totally going to crank my racing up once that place opens.

I have always wanted to ride a good Italian pocket bike. The blatas and polinis I have ridden were pure shit next to our 88/108cc honda fiddys. The ones on youtube that do the mini gp look a shitload better than the crap we have around here. The blatas/polinis I have seen cost the owner around 3k, so they werent cheap, but they just sucked for some reason. We had to ban them from our mini races because they were in the way more than they were racing. Maybe it was cause of the elevation changes we run, I have never seen a good pocketbike mini gp race with elevation changes.
