I don't know if I would call it a full on Industry meeting, But anyway...

Myself, BBR, CHP, Maxis and the promoters of the Mini Moto SX talked for about an hr or two Saturday Morning. I didn't take notes, But this is what I remember....

Possible 4-6 race series in conjunction with Mini Moto SX. ( same type of format )
Some indoor some outdoor.
Possible locations mentioned included.....

Same location Mini Moto SX in Vegas to kick it off.
Possible a indoor race in Orlando Florida, ( maybe in the fall )
outdoor in Oklahoma, Spokane Washington (Aug 2nd this yr) Other ideas were to work with Masters Of Mini series as well for a North east event.

Other items talked about included adding a Vintage class.
The great thing is there are people like BBR, CHP, Maxis Mini Moto SX, myself and others who really wasn't to make this happen and keep the sport growing, this is great news for everyone one no matter what bike brand!!
Anyway it all sounds promising, so hopefully we can all work together to make this grow!!!
I will post once we have more info to go off of.

Thanks

RAZZO · 05-06-2008, 04:06 AM

Yes, I didn't take notes either or get your business card either.

The Vintage class would 99' or older Z50R's. 8" steel wheels, bar kits. Maybe a limit of 88cc kits or just stock motors. You know you all have a Z' or started on one. Could be fun!

They also talked of a online survey. We need feedback from you on Mini Moto and what you want to see in the future. Yes there was talk of a Mini Moto SX East and West. Tying the Texas race and a few others together. All flying under the Mini Moto SX banner. Maybe a points system, making Vegas the Superbowl.

Over all another great event and will continue in the future!

RLucky82 · 05-06-2008, 07:24 AM

Vintage? so like any pitster thats over 2 years old and still running can enter?

Just kidding, but stuff has been evolving so fast just about anything over 2years old is vintage.

Connman199 · 05-06-2008, 07:41 AM

that's great news, hopefully with the success of MoM and our new Pit-X series here in the NE, we can help out in this area as well!

jdmp · 05-06-2008, 07:42 AM

im so stoked on this. I know its in the early stages but this is what we need. We need the big players to step up and take control. Thanks for the update and the help on growing the sport!!!

mike224 · 05-06-2008, 07:48 AM

Wow!!!
This is something that should have been done a long time ago.
All vendors having a industry meeting and working together instead of against each other.

Congrats to you guys and maybe if something like this happens I'll put my pitbike team back together.
