What type of motorcycles are allowed? Basically, anything that will run well on a .7 mile go-cart track. This includes motards (any cc and yes, we do have a dirt section!), small road race bikes (Honda RS125, Aprilia RS series, Derbi's, etc), Yamaha YSRs, Scooters, and we welcome Pocketbike riders! Our home track is located in Marshalltown, IA (about 45 minutes NE of Des Moines), one of the few tracks in this area!

do you know how long the lap times are on a 50 with a 108 or close to it?

looks like it would take forever to get a lap in. but pictures are decieving as most of you all know.

mattv · 02-22-2006, 12:43 PM

no idea, never been there or seen races there.

The track is .7 miles around, one full lap.

write it off as a business expense. We'll do it the same week as the karnage & khaos MX ride on june 2/3/4th in Norfolk, NE.

i race supermoto. that dude always posts his open track days on speedzilla but no one will promote any races. unless something has changed, it's a long way for an open track day. we're going to try to get something going within the series we do. and we have dirt. it(the dirt section) would suit a mini like a champ. the straight may be a little long.
