Bring on Junior bike I reckon. Can you imagine a skilled 12 year old weighing in at 40kg's soaking wet getting down the strip on something like that.
Chain looks a little loose! Lol! Those things are awesome...
I wonder what time the 80cc runs...???
Would be good for 1/8th mile strip I think :D
15.200@85.13 mph, 2.074 60 foot timesQuote:

Im pretty sure they may have banned those pit type bikes from racing Des, i may be wrong tho.
They have a thing like this in england called the killer bee class
Its whatever the fuck you can get to fit in a frame no bigger than a Z50
or a YZR50
Could be a good idea for next years AFR.
XJ12 motor on a skateboard
What about a 500 stroker

I'm really starting to like this class!!! :D :D :D
2 second 60 foot on that cructh rocket is fuckin awesome,hey shane did someone get busted up on those bikes for them to ban them? i think done properly there is no reason why they cant be as popular as the mini dragsters, they have got a decent following...
I can't see why Mini Motards would be banned --
Hi Guys-- I am Des's brother(blue ZX12R)& GS1100 Sidecar & Mini Motards (150's)
If the weather holds I will be taking my quicker 150 to the Test & Tune today.
I want to get an accurate speed from my 150 "Race" engine.
I will let you know if i have trouble with getting the Motard on the Track.
Just got in from Willowbank-- Good News-- They have no problem with Mini Motards running.
My DHZ Mini Motard 150GPX only had 2 runs because of huge fields,oil downs & GSXR750 looping on the startline.
First run spoiled when wheelstand jarred the choke on--
Second run 18.05 at 70.6 mph.
Running lean on the needle- should have no problem making 17.5s next time
If you have a Motard bring it out to Willowbank-- The riders and crowd were very supportive.
70mph gearing is 17/37 with 120/70 road tyres.
What, no pics?! :(
Hope that wasnt Evilkarl on his 750 at the other end doin something stupid. [:0]
Good Friday 10/4/09 Test and tune -- I will be running the 150 again at Willowbank - Any challangers?
Take it to Casino for the fools run this weekend.

Sorry Des-- Can't make Casino
Small Wheel Deals at Paisley Drv. Lawnton is expected to bring a bike or two. They will be advising their customers that Test and Tunes at Willowbank are available to run Mini Motards.

Willowbank 10/4 -- 17.7 at 70mph. The speed is restricted by gearing--Smaller rear on the way. Great fun--
I'd like to see more of this sort of thing. I think it would catch on. Shit load of cheap fun!
Shayne,
Remember this lil machine at Gold Coast bike show in 07?

big fun small package.
SHIT! 85+mph on a stock framed Zed50 is insane! the rake and trial specs on those things is scary at 30mph! That dude has stainless steel balls!!
Thats FUCKIN Awesome:Dwill anyone let you run them circut wise?
OMFG.....Finally I find other people who are interested in this kind of cheap fun!!!! Oddly enough I just found this site & thread by chance while googling images of Willowbank for a Lego project (long story - go & google "Lego Digital Designer" & find out).
How many of you on here are interested in doing this on a semi regular basis? I ask because after a long time of drag racing cars in the street series I changed to two wheels & couldn't resist taking the scooter out for some shits & giggles.
As it turns out in Europe, Taiwan, Puerto Rica & the US scooter drag racing is a legit category in it's own right.......to the point you can buy off the shelf dragster frames from a site in Germany:

If ayone is going back out to the track with their MM's please let me know!
I have the MM 150 seen earlier and I expect to head back to Willowbank after hols. ( March ) Meanwhile here is a link to a Junior Dragbike Post on Dragbike.com.au _
http://www.dragbike.com.au/forum/vie...=2593&start=30
Awesome!!! Hopefully will have the upgraded engine finished & tuned by then - will come out with it as well. Not sure on the performance, but with an ET of 22 sec on a stock 50cc carrying 105kg rider, changing up to 98cc should net a sub 20....I hope :-)
This my original rockhopper:) I dont think the Victa 125cc would keep up:)
