Minimoto racing at Moroso 6-3-2007

This was the first pocket bike (minimoto) racing event at the Moroso Kart Track in Florida. This is helmet cam footage of the Open Class heat race with close racing. I am riding a Polini 910 Carena S 6.2hp air cooled bike.

does your bike still accelerate quickly for being geared to reach around 50mph? also, how often do you have to do topends on your bike?

Yes - my GRC RR accelerates quickly. This video is actually of me on my Polini 910 6.2HP, which doesn't go like my GRC. This bike was geared for about 44 MPH. My GRC RR super proddy is geared around 50 (7-70 gearing).

Look at some of my later videos for footage racing the GRC RR.

I've been racing 2 years (approximately 20 races) and haven't had to do a topend yet - keep in mind that I'm a budget racer.

wow thats not too bad considering the compression and rpms they are turning. im really interested about getting into mini moto racing but i dont know where to start. i live in pa and i dont think theres any type of races like that around here. if i sell my dirtbike i plan on getting the polini 910 6.2 wc bike i was just curious if this is a decent bike

The Polini 910 frame is just "okay". It is a little stiff so the frame doesn't soak up the bumps in the track while in the turns. My GRC RR feels a lot more planted and allows me to corner faster than my 910.

If you can get the Polini 910 for a good price used it would be a good first bike. Plus if you can ride the 910 fast you will be even faster on a better chassis. But if you can find a GRC or DM used for about $1000, I'd jump on it.

[rexcarnage]

Racing at Moroso, it is geared for about 50 mph.

hello friend ... excellent race ... I know that pinion and sprocket wear in this video???

Any reputable pocketbike dealer - Midsouth Minimoto, etc.

These are racebikes so a racetrack is the only surface they should be run, but parking lots are used also.
