No classes, if you think you can beat someone you just speak up, and offer a challenge.

In the summer there will be a open class starting up. There are only a few rules.

1, You have to run a small block, nothing bigger than a 6.5hp block. Briggs 6.5hp, Animal, WF, Clones, Honda, Yamaha, 5hp, raptor etc.

2, No billet blocks, or purpose built racing blocks.

3, You must ride your own bike, no jockey's until there is a champion. Once there is a champ, you can put someone on your bike within 30 lbs of the champions weight. Once the champ is beaten the new champ must ride his own bike.

You can build your motor to any size, and run any fuel you like.:hammer:

Not near Compton
The closest place nearby is Marco's Lawn And Garden, but it's in Lynwood. I think 113th and Atlantic.

Yes that's where we race at, but mainly on Saturdays. We do on Sunday's as well, but not as many poeple show up.

Classes would be cool though.

I think small engine classes would be interesting to see who could milk a 3HP. A stock class would be neat to see what stock bikes where the quickest.:thumbsup:

cool i gonna check em out, thanks, wut time on saturdays?
I normally get there at 3:30pm and stay until everyone leaves.
Normally people get there at 4pm, but I like to be early because sometimes I will catch someone pre testing there minibike for a race.

Sorry guys the modified 3hp wouldn't make enough power to satisfy any of the racers.

Yeah sometimes the cops come, but they just make us leave. This happens about once a month.

BMI Karts, or ebay is the best place to get the disc brake setup. But it really isn't needed.

cool, thats good they don't trip, so the disc brake ain't really needed,even on them fast mini bikes,like the ones i seen on youtube?
a regular foot brake will do

Yeah, it's not like something comes out of no ware. Traffic goes both ways like a street and people stay on there side. When a serious race is gonna happen we clear the street out anyway. Only because it's money on the line.
