Are there any mini races around the South Dakota area?

Would be willing to travel.

Thanks

I've heard motokazie has a pit bike class? Can anyone confirm this? I haven't been there yet.

Motokazie didn't have a pitbike class when I raced their series.

My buddy told me he watched someone on a pit bike hauling ass. So I was guessing they had a class? Maybe he was running 125C or something?

I don't know...unless they just started doing this in the past year.

I've raced motokazie's series for 5 years and have never seen them sanction a pitbike race...as much as I wish they would.

About Motokazie SX | Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa Supercross Racing

Here's a listing of their classes. As I suspected, they let the pitbikes race on the track during intermission. No points or trophys...just time to mess around.

21. Pit Bike intermission Any 50cc Based machine (50cc-125cc), allow clutches for 50cc, 10" wheels. TTR90, KLX110, XR70, XR80 remove clutch, NO TTR125, xr100

I asked him if they had a pit bike class.

"yeea they raced them.. basically like 5 riders, top 2 guys were pre much fast as mcgrath so noone even had a chance..."

I'll have to check it out this winter.

it doesnt sound like you can even run a clutch with a 110?

klx1695 · 11-10-2008, 02:22 PM

I'm pretty sure they will run it if they have enough show up. I raced it two years ago and the guys with MK all had 12'' full mod bikes. I would just give them a call but I would bet they do. I also know the Brookings, SD has two Arenacrosses a year and I made some mad cash there in the pit bike class.

I already emailed dustin peterson about them having a pit bike class and he said they weren't...I would imagine the numbers are the main reason. Maybe if there was a for sure amount of bikes to show; they would probably run it then.

You're the 2nd person to tell me they made some coin in that class.

Yeah that kinda sux. I put on a couple of races this year and actually advertized the pit bike class as a cash class and we had twelve show up. I think people around the midwest will bring the numbers if they actually know about an actual pitbike class that pays. Promoters need to work on promoting all the classes not just the pros that take their money but the classes that make their money. Don't get me wrong the Petersens are awesome guys I think that the mini guys are just getting left out.

klx1695 - did you post something on the svcc message board about a race?
