I prefer bikes on short dirt flat tracks, but that is a fine addition to the undercard at RA this year.

Interesting addition. I'm guessing they are willing to try anything to get some more people to show up.

I'll be there too.

Before anyone gets too excited, I'm pretty sure these are the little bikes that race on the dirt/paved combo at the Motorplex - not on the big track.

Unless you were still that excited, in which case - carry on. :gomer:

Chop you are correct, its 80% pavement and 20% dirt. They ride 450 to 650 MX bikes with street slicks reaching speeds of 110mph on the straights. RA has an excellant Super Moto track.
Jeff Ward, Doug Henry and Team KTM put on quite the show. If you have never seen Wardy back it in a corner at 90mph with sparks flying you will soon become a follower. Some of the best racing around IMHO....but then I am a :gomer:
