Aside from the Polini Cup on the west coast, if there’s been any scooter racing in the last couple of years, it’s been pretty under-our-radar. Mid Atlantic Scooter Racing Commission is looking to rev it up this summer on the Eastern Seaboard, good luck to them!

Oh, duh, forgot about that, sorry. What I meant is WHY IS THERE NO RACING IN THE MIDWEST!?
The defending Vice-Champion moved back to the Pacific Southwest and the defending Champ got tangled in yarn and had a baby (or some reasonable facsimile).
I think drag racing is the way to go. Road courses are just too hard to find and organize. Any place where they have stoplights and a fair stretch of road is perfectly equipped for moped drag racing. Talk smack global. Race local.
I wen to the drag strip once, just for fun. Wanted to see what kind of time I could get. I doubt I’d toss another $15 at it, though.

15.00 for one run? Ya, that doesn’t sound like fun. 1/4 mile is kinda pointless. 1/8 would be the longest I’d think would be interesting on a scooter. But I think the special drag nights are geared toward guys showing off their penis replacements. 15.00 a pop would probably seem like a bargain to them.
Brooke — It was $15 for pretty much unlimited runs, until the actual racing for prize money started. So, there were maybe 2-3 hours of runs for the $15, if you cared to do that. I didn’t. I just made a few runs, said “meh,” and rode home.
I’d rather see stuff on my rides, and I’m not always in a hurry to get anywhere. ;)
