Bob3 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Just got back form the SEMA show. I haven't had time to do anything. I am going to my first race tomorrow in the MX520. I can't race yet because I need to add a cage. That will happen this winter. I'm going to run "time trials". It's still wheel to wheel on the track, just not a race. Whoever gets the best single lap time wins. I taped a brake light to the back so I'm legal to run. I'll get some pics up! Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 That's OK, we all know what a brake light looks like. :lol::lol: Knock 'em dead. Do you think you do a candid camera effect this time. I would love to see the reaction to people as you come in to the garages. Quote Link to comment
