Mini's on national track with big bikes?

[Coondog #77]

I had the joy of catching a mini Dirtbike rider right before the step up near the finish line at speedworld this tuesday. he was riding the middle line. i was going to land on him if i did not slow down. but i was halfway up the lip. so i slowed down enough to not hit him, but tagged the landing crooked and my quad bounced and swapped to the right. i then find my self on the ground. i was ok, bike was "OK" considering. but i had to ask my self. if practice is split,why are there mini bikes on the track?

needless to say the track prep was good and the new "s" turn by the stands is cool. just wish i wouldnt have crashed 5 laps into practice.

It will always be that way bro.. They just do not care.
I had to get the EMT on sunday when a dirt bike rider ate it and broke some bones.

I find myself with a lot of the slowers riders when i go to the track. I deeply feel they need to be holding their lines and not in the middle of the track if they are not going to be clearing anything. I know that mini might not have had the power to get over that Step-up. I have been slowing down a lot and getting a nice large gap from me and the mini but than i find myself getting in the way of the faster bikes coming up to me. and they are not as nice of some. or i have been getting off the track for a few secs. I will do it at the corner after the finish line and pin it around the starting gate to get ahead of the mini's. I did it a few times on Sunday. and dammit. let me know the next time you go to the track on tuesday. it's fun but a Quad rider shouldn't go there that day alone

Glad your OK Coon but it sounds like your fault to me??? (swap mini for a monster truck and I come up with same conclusion) I wasn't there, just going off what you posted.

Seriously though, I'm glad your ok!!!!

its cause noone is paying attention, a lot of times ive seen a mini out there with the big bikes which makes it very dangerous. Glad your not hurt.
