I know this is not happening nor can it, but..........if Adam Cianciarulo were to race the first AMA Lites National of 2012 on his supermini how do you think he places?

Well he would get eaten off the start. Question is how far can he come through the pack and how long will he last before giving out.

no chance. not enough power. Hed get torn up on the hills. I used to race jlaw in schoolboy all the time when he was on a supermini and me on a 125 we are long time friends. It used to be a battle every time. Those bikes just dont have enough. Soon as he stepped on his rm125 it was over for me. If you put him on his 125 hed run top 15 i bet. for sure

Lucero10x - I'd be amazed if he gave out and didn't finish.

Just a guess but I think he finishes both motos in the 20th to 25th range. Be AMAZING to watch.

You people are high if you think any kid could qualify for an AMA National on a supermini.

Def think he'd top 15 but would do alot better on a big bike

the track conditions would make his bike buck hard

give out to me means not being able to ride at 100% in this instance, not out right pulling off. lol. You are probably right about where he would finish, though.

there's no way he would qualify are you guys crazy? on a supermini? no.... on a big bike he will crack top 12 first moto...second moto top 7...with a top 10 overall. hes fast but i think that's impossible on a minibike.

I definitely don't agree that he wouldn't qualify. Part of the reason for putting him in the first national of the year.

He did not even win by THAT much at LL's

Not hating, but not drinking the AC koolaid either.

I have also been around this sport long enough to know that for every RC, JS, and RV there are scores of hot rod rising stars that never achieve what some cheerleaders thought they would.

Not a chance in hell on a supermini.... big bike? Maybe.... 15-20 on a good day.

Not to take anything away from AC, I think he is destined for greatness in this sport. Maybe back in the 125 days a tiny prodigy on a supermini could qualify for a pro national, but I don't think any rider could qualify on a supermini against 250f's.

well he did not have one of the top 100 laptimes this year at Loretta's.

I think he would have tough time making the 40 man gate on a Supermini , now once he is dialed on a 125 than ya I think he could make it a get top 40

Judging by lap times at the MEC he was about 4-5 seconds a lap off qualifying. So my guess is he would qualify for the show. You guys might be jumping the gun a bit.

IF Bruce Bunch was still alive and racing and it was a 125 class with no cheater bikes (pc) he could finish top 5 on his R & D supermini.....Guaranteed.... heck he would probably win

Some of the replies to this topic shows how out of touch some of posters on these message forums are. Damn. I thought at least most people were in touch with reality. This explains a lot.

Whoa, what makes you call PC "cheater bikes"?
