Here's a few shots of me, and Dam_Buster at Caxton Raceway on Sunday.
The pictures of me, I'm on my bike, and Rox's mini at some points.
Brilliant day, the mini-pit handles great for what it is. Fooking twitchy though!

The mudguard got smashed off the mini-pit when a young lad on a CR85 decided to stand his bike up mid corner while I was going around the outside of him, and ride straight into the front of me.
This was the point I insisted that we split the sessions up into age / skill groups.
I was happy to pass all the younger lads on their mini motos and pit bikes along the straights.
But the lad on the CR85 was leaving me for dust on the straights, then holding me up something rotten in the corners, which left me with no choice to pass him mid corner. He was just a little in-experienced and needs to understand that you cant keep changing direction mid-corner when there is traffic around you.
All in, was an amazing day!
Next one will probably be Whilton Mill on the August Bank holiday. We're expecting around 500 people to turn up if it's warm.
Anyone in the Daventry, Whilton Locks area, get your self along.
Even if you dont have a bike, I'll be taking both my bikes, Dam_Buster will be there on his, a few mates will be coming along, most have two bikes.
So bring your leathers, and take one of our bikes out.
The bikes are paid for and tagged at the track, not the riders, So we just swap and change bikes.

He's on a Demon X - XLR160, but with a highly tuned YX150 engine fitted.
Reason for this is, they have a shorter stroke than the YX160, making it a "square" engine. Super revvy, and it smashes my YX160 up the straights.
The bike is a CRF70 based frame, with re-worked forks, and a piggyback 1000lb shock fitted.
Supermoto wide wheels, with a Sava Supersoft rear tyre, and a CST Slick front, which has been cut to an intermediate pattern.
Brembo twin pot caliper on the front, with a 220mm rotor. It's a bit of a tool.
Everyone had a good day. Get your self to Whilton Mill on the August Bank Holiday Paddy!

Pretty cool, got a cam corder Ben? A video would be great to see maybe.
How much did it cost you in total? I recall you said it was up to 200 quid at a point. Not bad price really! ____________________ Hit the G spot.  |

Going to look at an '03 YZ85 tonight for some mini sm fun (CRF450 for big sm fun) but i got told they cant compete in the mini's class which sucks ass, as id love to destroy everyone on there 150/160-4's. If not there's a CR80 close to me but he wants too much for it.
Should be a right laugh  ____________________ Why is it everything i race, seems to be going backwards?

Trust me, you wont destroy the FAB Championship boys on their 160s.
Maybe on a track like Whilton Mill, where there are plenty of straights to make up time on a fast bike, but the likes of Ryan, Jake and Dayne (3 of the front runners), will leave most competitors for dead.
I consider myself pretty fast, I managed a 39.5 - 40 sec lap at Stretton Karting, on a modified 160.
Jake can do a 37 sec lap on a standard 140.
There is an easy 3 second lead there, on a bike with 2/3 the power.
Anyway, You're right, they cant compete under the Fab classes, the only 2 strokes that can are the KTMSX65's, and anything else <65cc.
And tbh, they are useless, even the metrakit boys just hold up the pit bike boys when they run the classes together at certain tracks.
