Schoolyard Supermoto Track!

[JasonRR]

I'm going to have the police run me off, and quick, but in the meantime I'm enjoying tearing around this little track on my DRZ. A 4ft ribbon of sticky asphalt laid out like a slotcar track I found in the elementry school 1/2 mile from my house. Two hairpins have me down into 1st gear and wheelying out of the corners, but the rest of the track is 2nd and just touching 3rd. This is crazy, silly fun!!! I'm going to try to get some video.

Cops in that area would hate me! Looks fun

we need to all get pocket bikes and do some racing out there. ive always that it would be fun to get a pocket bike race together, but since i never ended up buying one it never came to fruition.

[JasonRR]

My dream is to have a little backyard track (not all that much bigger than this little walking path) with a small fleet of Ninja 250's with sticky tires.

[JasonRR]

No gear, so I wasn't pushing too hard, but it's still fun. Feels a lot faster on that 4ft path than it looks. Good fun.

Lean that moterfucker over!

[Ratt]

Back that moterfucker in!

Fixed. That looks like a metric shit-ton of fun!

Have you run it counter clockwise too?

[347Mike]

I just watched the vid on my laptop - pretty sweet.


On a side note, put a fucking helmet on...

[JasonRR]

Yeah, I know, I really need to get in a better habit of wearing gear. You're right.

Yes, I've run it the opposite way too. I like coming out of the back hairpin and clipping that one little bend onto the back straight though when I run it the other way. In the first vid, on the 2nd lap, you can see my briefly braking the rear tire loose with the throttle in 1st leaving that hairpin. Not exactly easy on a stock DRZ.

Only bad thing about running it that way is there is a bunch of sand at the entrance to the corner after that back straight, so you've gotta do all your hard braking early. In the vid it just looks like I'm slowing down early and entering the corner slow. I'll work on backing it in on this corner a little more.

Those DRZ's look like tons of fun.

[SNEAKY]

you need to run the golf cart path at some country club. lol

[Lason]

Haha, thats badass!!! Looks nearly impossible to run 2 on though so that kinda sucks but still looks great!

Oh and put a lid on mofo!

What if any damage does it appear to be doing to the surface? That would be my major concern. Anyone run you off yet?

[JasonRR]

No damage at all...maybe some light skid marks, cause the rear end gets light under hard braking, but no burnouts or any damage.

I've been giving it a rest for now, cause I really wanna get some laps in after I get my suspension done and don't wanna get run off before then. The trees help with the noise, but I'm sure that I'm pissing someone off.
