I will be liaising with http://www.motorcyclesportsmen.com.au/ for info concerning the next Scooter Race Series which should be held on Saturday nights starting roughly October 08 or so.

I'm hoping for some feedback from prospective competitors about how we envisage the racing. 

As far as I know it'll be a "compact" schedule for each racing night to so that the use of ambos & flaggies etc are optimised.

I'm thinking it'll take the form of the previous Youngstar Series whereby we had five 5-lap races per round.  Guessing it'll be quick changover from respective races, i.e. other non-scoot racers, when they have their race they have to get out there pronto to optimise the night & cram everything in.

Anyways, it's early days.  Email me at  rpmorrell@yahoo.com  if you've got any inclination to race & any thoughts & suggestions about how the racing could happen.

Hey Rob, I think a previous thought you had about running a little series as part of the practice nights was a bad idea. Instead of a group of us just heading out and doing laps, We could just grid up and race from there.  Call it "practice starts" and away we go.  Dunno how official we could make it without having to engage MQ and permits and needing ambos etc on sight!!!  I'm all ears.

Naaah....I didn't mean my idea like that, Craig, but the Track Night's are pretty competitive if one chooses to engage. 

Anyways, I went along to a Sporties' Meeting last night & knocked around some ideas.  So they are running the show.  I'm just doing some PR for them.

Our feedback will make a difference.  We're only looking for a Saturday Night Race Series.....gives a chance for all those workers to get to the track for some fun. 

Are you coming along to the June 21st Saturday Track Night?.....I'm assuming it's "night".  Didn't get my op yet, but it should be done & sorted by then.....I'll be going no matter what.

Great news Rob, Are the scooter sessions going to be scooter only or mixed with the junior road race?

Scooters only according to the numbers interested so far.   Fields will be limited to 20, & anymore will race in a separate category, e.g. if there are, say, thirty 50ccers then they'll possibly be split up according to their lap times or whatever.

It's looking better & better. 

I'm thinking to run my own Series Awards apart from the Sporties, & ask for ideas.

How about Brightest Outfit / Bike ?

Sounds great ROB i will talk to as many importers as i can  and JOE of course and see what we can come up with for you.

Hey Rob and others, Got the Race your Scoot blog changed. It still shows as the Bug/kymco Agility blog for now as the url but all titles are changed. Will do for now until we could setup something different. Might look at a standalone website maybe if that's feasable.

All advice and hints/tips of a technical nature are welcome so email away to either Rob or myself and we'll get it together and up on the blog.

Cheers and thanks

Craig

Another award could be best geared bike  

Good picture - Lambo and DRAGSTER  !!!! (anyone who races a Lambo or geared Vespa should get a prize for bravery)  

Lets put forward the idea of last and second last in the series recieve a prize, also an award for the best crash, the best video recorded of a race to encorage spectators and generaly rewarding riders who compete at every meeting in the series, This time im not winning biggest crash it hurts the body and wallet.
