Posted: 13:47 - 20 Dec 2017 Post subject: 2018 British Mini Bike Championship |
|
|
So after having an awesome year in the 2017 Championship, finishing 2nd overall in the Pit bike Open class on the 190 Daytona Mini Pit.
I've decided to build a 2018 bike to run the in the Stock Classes.
Based around a Stomp KZR, but with shortened billet swing arm for better turn in speed, a re-located shock mount for a more liniar shock angle, and allowing me to run a 290mm shock rather than the 360mm shock that comes with the KZR.
Building the bike on a bit of a budget as Cassie and I have a new arrival to the family. But nonetheless, it'll be a very capable bike and looking to have an awesome season on it.
First round is last weekend in March. Rumor as it that it's being held at the Teesside Autodrone, but race dates have not been officially released yet.
It'd be cool to see a few BCFers at the rounds. I know loads of you are capable of riding fast, and the championship is a very affordable way into motorsport.

I've heard the organizers are trying to keep the dates from clashing with the BSB, as there are a few BSB boys who enter the British Mini Bikes rounds when the weekends dont clash. And it makes for FUCKING awesome spectating.
My 2018 frame is away at the fabricators now having the new shock mount welded up. And then it's going away for powder coating;

And one of my good pals I've raced with for about 9 years has just been signed by South-Coast Honda for the 2018 season.
Watch this space for an awesome season. ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

Well the 2018 calendar has been released and other than 1 round at Lydd and a couple of Whilton Mill rounds, the rest of the season is being held up north. Like, really up north!
Two rounds at the Three-Sisters in Wiigan, a round at Teesside, a round at Rowrah (Cumbria), and Fullbeck.
I will be giving Rowrah a miss as it literally took us 10 hours to tow the caravan there this season, and it did nothing but piss it down all weekend.
I'll try and make 1 of the 2 rounds at Three-Sisters.
Whilton Mill and Lydd wont be a problem.
So, to keep my year populated with racing, I took a look at Cool-Fab and Nora-Sport's 2018 Championships.
Cool-Fab have a round at Red-Lodge, which is only an hour and 45 mins from me.
And Nora-Sport at holding a round at Lydden Hill, which is literally down the road from me.
So keep an eye out for a bloody awesome season. Cant Wait! ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

Will be watching.
I’ve driven a Ford Fiesta rally car around Rowrah. Was fun, nice scenery too. ____________________

Interesting.
Oh yeah, aren't you meant to put bikes in your van rather than having to use a towbar rack thingy? |

And it's done.
Rear brake fitted up with Brembo twin pot, and WG-Motorparts Hel braided line.
Gonna get a couple of track days in over the next couple of months, and pick up with the BMB at Round-3 at Whiton Mill.

Made a healthy 13.5bhp on the rollers.
Power drops away at about 6.5k rpm though, I've a feeling it's the ignition as it sounds like it's pinking / pre-ignition.
Next stop is OORacing for a go on their dyno, and let Adrian make some adjustments to get it running smooth right through the rev range. ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

Seeing as the weather has improved, and our choice of SM tracks in the south east is appalling, I decided to go to the dark side, as I've got about 4 MX tracks within a 20 minute drive from me here.
The little bike is for Austin when he's a little bit older. It's more or less built out of all the old parts from my 2017 race bike as I upgraded it over the year.
Just with shorter forks, and a cut-down rear shock.
Size difference in the two bikes. Mad to think I was racing that little thing last year.

Bike - Just didn't get on with the midsize. Maybe where I've been riding/racing 10" bikes for so many years now. But I dont know, just couldnt click with it like I did my mini pit.
Championship - It's got too busy for it's own good now days.
250+ race entries per round. On a given day, there is only so much track time avaiable. The day is planned and organised to the minute.
Red flags and technical problems are never factored in. There's always a red flag, or technical problem, so the days run over schedule, track time is cut down to compensate, we lose out.
If the tracks were on my doorstep, it would be something I'd just put up with. But because we're in the south east, it's such a mission to get to the rounds, when the weekend doesnt go well, it's just mega disapointing. ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

However, I do have a spare YX140 engine, and I do have a CRF50 and some old slicks in the shed. So I will be throwing a little ripper together to attend Lydd.
But as far as the british championship goes, that's about the extent of my attendance from now I think.
Caravan is up for sale, and I'll be buying a CRF450 with the money. ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!
