So much fun, that long right hander before the straight is the nutz! Drift the whole thing in the karts...

The video is on Facebook, it wants me to log in to in order to see it. Anyone know how to embed a video?

Definitely allot of fun Cool

They're proving difficult to find now, can be quite expensive when a clean example pops up on eBay.

Standing up for the Red Quad, the exhaust port had rattled loose so it wasn't getting the full benefit of the pipe Sad All sorted now though, ready for the next race.

Green Quad is running
G260RC
29cc Big Bore
2mm Stroker Crank
16mm Walbro Carb
Sikk Series 2 pipe
ADA Boost bottle

Its pretty quick Razz

Red Quad is running
CY260RC
16mm Walbro Carb
Series 1 pipe
Black Magic Spindle

It wasnt 'The' Race Night mate,

These pics and vids are just from Me, Simon and Matt testing our Peds round the track.

Still waiting on Weblefeck and TOBY to get back to us on the Race Night thread.

Sounds sweet bud,

Been running out of places to use mine for years. Used to have a local village hall we could use with a Tarmac track around the place. The knitting club saw an end to that lol.

The Asda car park looms ever closer ha.

Ah mate they're so lucky. I remember seeing videos of groups of guys just cruising the streets, pit bikes too! No helmets, no police lol.

My dad lives out in NY, was well tempted to take a ped out there, unfortunately looks like NY has joined the anti-banter waggon and banned them though, not many states still allow them Rolling Eyes
