Three cheers for NOT being in the Midwest...
Richmond is warm and moped friendly. The Puchavus is going fast.
Moped Race League (Polini Cup)
Polini USA, along with 1977 Mopeds is putting on the Moped portion of the upcoming Polini Cup.
This will be full track racing on a technical paved race course.
The season starts in April. Each race weekend is going to go: practice on Saturday, and race on Sunday. You can get all of your tuning finalized, and become familiar with course on Saturday, and hit it hard the next day.
We will be racing in between heats of Scooter, Goped, and Pocketbike races.
The season winner will be based on a points system. I am including a PDF that is the rough draft of the finer details.
To sum up the rules of your moped however, here it is: It must be in spirit a moped. Twist and go clutch, and be an after market moped engine case, or modified stock case.
