    Mini supermoto racing

    Does anyone here ride in the NEMM - NHF mini series? I am looking to do my first race in VT July 4th. This will be the first time for me racing the TTR125.

    Brian, you're being paged to the thread, Brian your input is needed in this thread!

    I haven't raced with them myself, he has. From what I remember of their rules/tech you'll want to make sure you have a GOOD catch bottle system in place.

    I talked to Aaron on the phone last week, and told him about the UFO catch bottle that I have on my bike. Here is a picture of it. It is mounted at the front of the frame.

    Re: Mini supermoto racing

    There is no doubt that it is a lot of fun. We had so good tight racing last time. We actually got 3 wide off the jump a couple of times.

    It is a hard track to pass on. We were running 17 to 18 second lap times with a max speed of about 40 mph according to my lap timer.

    You will have plenty of time to practice in the morning, almost to much. It is pretty low key and fun time.

    This is a link to the rest of the pictures my father took last time. NEMM Round 1

    Re: Mini supermoto racing

    um... holy shit that looks like fun. Anyone make Sumo rubber that'd work on my KX125?
    edit: in light of FMTS's post made while I was posting... anyone make sumo rubber for a CT90? Kid, can I borrow the CT90? Or 6, maybe that YZ250? Doesn't seem like a 125 friendly track.

    That's exactly what I am looking for. I did a couple of trackdays at OVRP on the TTR and I had a blast.

    Re: Mini supermoto racing

    I might have an extra bike available for this next race. I am building a TTR for next year for me to race, depending on were it is at in the build it could be running for it. I am working on figuring out the YZ85 suspension conversion right now. I should have a new set of rings for the motor by the end of the week. If that kills the 2-stroke smoking problem that the 4-stroke motor has it will be looking good.

    Re: Mini supermoto racing

    how do they split up bikes or do they at all? For example, would I race ttr125s on my medina mini? My bike is a 155 motor but would be on 12" motard wheels (if I ever get any)

    Is this at me? If so, let me know! I'd def. compensate for your bike, tire wear, etc. I'd love to try this out. It looks like a blast! Also, I'll bring a c.c. to back up any damage I do, but ask around, I am good for anything I break. This looks like a blast, I'd love to try it out.

    I was just told they run in the winter too, I may have to buy one for the off-season.

    Your bike is 4cc's too big for Pitbike Moto. Other classes have a minimum wheel size.

    Tire wear? If running slicks, there is no tire wear.

    Also, about the winter, there isn't anything orgainzed that I know of. I used to just mess around in my old shop's parking lot.

    There is a pit bike class but we have not had enough people to run that class yet. I am running my Pitster Pro on 12" rubber in the 100 cup and the Premier Class. I have no problem running with the bigger bikes. It is really an even match up.

    I raced with them at NHMS last year in the rain. Had a blast! Good crew.

    Seth- Get wheels for it and come race. Don't worry about the motor size. There is not enough of an advantage in 4cc to make a difference.

    There will be. Aaron just bought a cart track in Maine. It's almost ready (working out town issues, but everything is approved).

    I have to revive my pitbike, and see if I can somehow make the suspension survive jumps... or just put streets on the WR and be an idiot. : )
