    Colin is off on a family adventure so I know he's out. I'm planning on showing up to be sociable at some point.

    I'm not racing for 2018, probably done for a while. I may volunteer for flagging or corner working. But not this round as I'm away for the weekend.

    That was a special, 1 off race. Most of the time is at Boxshop which is in Maine.

    You should bring your grom up sometime, though. You could run it in one of the gp races that are blacktop only. Fifield can show you around. Lol

    It was a blast as usual. It was my third time there and the first time I felt confident and aggressive. You all don’t know what you’re missing if you never try it.

    Dude, you were flying. It was fun watching you staying on Ben in supermono.

    There was a grom running open practice Saturday. They slot into the existing class structure, get enough people and Aaron will make a dedicated class for ya I bet.

    Re: Nemm round 2

    $50 to be able to run it in two practices, a heat race and a main is probably the most fun you can have with that grom.

    To clarify, the $50 comment, two practices, one heat, one main assumes you're only running the pavement only class. If you wanna throw down in the dirt as a second class it's another $25 to double your track time.

    Re: Nemm round 2

    I think I asked this in another thread, but.. what is the SV650 of this type of racing? That is, what is the best bike to start on where parts are easy to find & setup knowledge is also easy?

    Re: Nemm round 2

    I'm not an expert on minis. But, I think the crf150 is the hot ride. For a full size bike, any 250 or 450 MX bike with 17's can be competitive.

    450? 250? Mini?

    I'm sure others will chime in but my recollection of what bikes I have seen a lot of at the tracks

    450 - Honda CRF450F
    250 - kind of a toss up but I have seen more YZ250F than CRF250F
    Mini - XR/CRF 100/150 variants

    New bikes I have seen a ton of the KTM/Husqvarna 450 variants but they are big money comparatively

    The girlfriend has a CRF150 (I think) in my garage, but I'm not sure she'd let me bin it...

    I wonder how much for a used set of wheels & tires for my CRF250 would run me. Hmm

    Re: Nemm round 2

    Seems like the most popular class right now are the real small bikes on pavement with no dirt. A tricked out thumpster or ktm 65. It's crazy how fast those guys can go.

    I think the xr100 is the sv/Miata/go to for boxshop. Has its own class and there will always be another there to tangle with

    Re: Nemm round 2

    And a stocker XR100 is welcome at just about any other mini org too, with lots of others for guaranteed good competition. The reality is pretty much any dirtybike, mini, full-size, or something in-between will provide entertainment at Boxshop.

    I ran an almost bone stock DRZ400. I lost, but not because of the bike.
