Are any of you going? What other teams are lining up. Looks like it's going to be a fun event.

So awesome!

My only concern is, I've been riding pit bikes for 15+ years and I don't know how they are not at least putting bigger bars and heavy duty footpeg mounts / bigger foot pegs...

If they all have to wear actual moto boots good luck with that! Unsure

They're only allowed to switch the exhaust which Pro Circuit took care of for all the bikes and the handlebars. I'm sure most will have tall bars by race time to be more comfortable.

I gotcha!
I'm pretty good buddies with Willy Browning, I was with him this past weekend.
He is beyond stoked to get the chance to race, and he even went out and bought a Yamaha 110 a few weeks ago and set it up how these bikes are going to be to practice on!

Willy was practicing at my slightly secret test track the other day, he appeared determined and aware of the task ahead...

Its a pity Australia couldn't somehow coax Bilko out of race retirement. That dude used to shred in the glory days of pit bikes.

Carson Brown could win his heat by a lap just judging him purely on his instabangers.
