Alright guys its starting to get cold here so I figured its time to post this and give everyone plenty of time to make plans! This is the biggest indoor pit bike race on the east coast and gets bigger every year. Starting to get more and more people showing up out of state as well. Last year they ran 3 heats for the 12" open class and also ran LCQ for the guys that didn't make it out of the heats. At this event they run big bikes, quads and minis but the pit bikes are the main show beside the big bike money class. For all you guys saying its too far of a drive, I got Koby to fly out couple years back and may be making the trip again this year. Also had Brent Molitor drive 12 or so hours from Minnesota with a roller, relying on me for a motor. Still hoping the 2up crew catches onto this and brings out there rig as well. I will be contacting the TBolt crew as well as Mike from TB Parts to hopefully make an appearance. This is a very competitive event but also fun for everyone. Wholesale Cycle is there every year with a canopy and full pit for pitbikes. I would love to have the other dealers show up with tents as well to show everyone how big the pitbike scene really is. If anyone is hesitating about flying out, you are more than welcome to ship your bike to my house and pick it up.

Awesome video. What bike were you on? 2nd gear for the most eh?

Piranha 190, yep 2nd mostly or a lot of guys are in 3rd if you got short gearing. Track is perfect for pitbikes.

Hoping for nice weather this year! Usually it's snowing by now but it's calling for 70 degree this weekend. Don't miss this event guys!

Would kx60 forks be alright in the stock 12/14 class?

yep not a problem

 

[KlxRacer#2]

Running kx60 forks is no different then running stock klx forks with damping rods. The rules listed are basically copied from the minimoto Vegas page. Jay is pretty fair with the stock class. You are also allowed to run a klx110L but will not receive an award if you place high enough for a trophy, due to a clutch. No I'm not in charge of summit pitbikes, but I do all the effort in advertising and promoting the pitbikes.
