Not trying to start anything, but isnet the SSR bike u guys had last yr a mid size 10 inch? I am asking, really.


Yes,I put that I had built 2 for vegas in my post.I built what I thought would be the best withen the rules AND I STILL THINK THEY NEED TO KEEP THEM OUT OF THE 10" CLASS.

I know your 10" lxr is coming out so you wont agree with me,but midsizebikes in the 10" class is way unfair



I talked to Dan(mini moto editor)and told how a easy way to do it,but I dont know if he passed it on to Tim Clark.



The biggest problem in all the classes is they wrote the rules so they wouldn't have to worry about tech or protesting.

Opps sorry I missed that. OK, as far as I know Dan is not with Mini moto and Tim Clark has nothing to do with the event any longer. Our LXR 10' is a smaller frame not the same size as the mid size bike. If it is not based on a wheel base requirements how do you determine what IS a 10' bike anymore?

Makimum seat height,lenght of forks,peg to seat distance,styles of plastics.There is lots of ways.

My 70 frame was shorter like you 10" lxr(I would assume)to make the 45" wheelbase

without having to run a short swingarm.

I talked to Dan when he was with mini moto,and he was going to talk to tim

I see your point, but I don't think Mini moto wants to complicate it anymore then a wheelbase. IMO.

I know they dont,that was my point with the stock/mod also.They dodn't want to tech anything but the cylinder with a magnet and the wheelbase.

Right.
 
just get the midsize out of the 10inch, that way it will be jsut a 50 class, which 88's are still competitive to a degree. Then have 2 midzies classes, 12inch and 10in. and definately, a stock youth class and a real stock class

I personally believe a 8" class would be awesome. An 88 class might be a good idea as well, but it seems the stock/mod class is so close to that anyways now...


I am sorry but everytime I here someone say "I personally believe" I think of this....








Poor girl, Ok sorry back to the topic!! I agree an 8' class would be cool to see.
