I actually finally rode my SM pit bike in SM trim on a track yesterday - much fun and my wrists coped with it - though may be different on an outdoor track.
Might try and get along to Lydd.
Is there any 'practice' before the event 'vet? Wouldn't mind getting an idea of where the track goes and so on first .

With any racing, I'd always suggest getting some track time first - you'll get much better 'value for money' than paying out for racing.
Ie, last night was a 4 hour 'open pit lane' for £20 and I was improving all the time - if it was a race, I'd have got a lot less time for more money.
You don't NEED experience, but obviously it can help if you do have some - having raced big bikes, done minimoto and so on, while I started off slow, I improved steadily - if I wasn't conversant with the relatively fine throttle control needed on the smooth indoor track I was riding on, I likely wouldn't have progressed so well (I did end up on the floor once - but then others managed a good few times, so maybe I just wasn't trying hard enough ).
Norasport does SM pit bike rounds at Three sisters it seems. However they do do 'proper' supermoto - so on and off road combined.
Unless you go for a one make series like Matchams, most race series will travel around the country. |

The 'open pit' is ideally what I'd be looking for. I'd be more than happy to plod along round track at my own pace, learning techniques and advancing myself slowly. I have no interest in racing yet, that'd be a while down the line. I might have to give Three Sisters a ring and ask about it, surely there'll be some open track time which allows pits on.
In an ideal world, it would be nice to have a blast before I commit to buying one. It does seem like an ideal solution for me atm. A hobby by tinkering with the bike, thrill and fun by doing track time, and ripping a bike around track. All = awesomeness. |

I'll start looking into leathers now, and for more tracks around here where pits can get on.
I've been reading alot of what binge has been posting about pits, as well as others.
Info is much appreciated! |
