I really want to get into tracking but it seems all the local kart tracks have a 450cc limit 😵‍💫 If I read the specs correctly, the 500 makes less power than FS/450smrs ? Any ideas?
 
450 stickers?

I used to track my 680cc supermoto'd xr650r at Stockton track days long ago.
I'd own the straight and get eaten everywhere else lol.
 
I was kidding about the stickers.

Reach out to the track day providers and find out how they deal with it. Or wait for somebody here to chime in with better information maybe based on their experience understanding of the track days..


I wasn't skirting any rules with my 680, it was allowed back then

I feel that😆 I just did some more research, looks like Sonoma allows whatever but only open on (some?)Mondays 😕 but I don’t see any availability on their calendar, Stockton allows up to 500 but trashed pavement, I’ll call up Dixon since they do weekends and hopefully my 5hunnit will be accepted, will report back in case others also have a bike too small for big track and too big for small track.
 
Shoulda went to the MotoAmerica Mini Cup Sonoma qualifier. They had Saturday practice and Sunday race last weekend.

BTW there will be a race up in Reno at Desert Park Raceway this weekend. You can practice Friday and if you stick around Saturday and Sunday you can race or watch the racing. I don't think they will have the dirt section open for the practice day though because they're sharing with karts.

They even got a class that you can race your bike in

Seems fun but I have zero experience with tracking a bike lol. But I’m trying change that very soon
 
I feel Dixon is tighter than Sears Kart, so a 500 may feel large - if they even allow. Just be careful not to crush any Ankle Biters!

Also, there are no outlets, so a generator is needed if running warmers.
