If you've never raced indoors on concrete, it's a total blast. You get to slide through some turns like you're on dirt, others you can set a line and rail like a roller coaster, all on the same track. The fun part is, your right hand determines which way you'll take each turn. : )

And don't worry about skill levels, there is good fun for first timers right up through seasoned pros with reputations to uphold, it's all good.

Re: Maine Indoor Karting in Scarborough, Maine

Will this be a show up and ride type of deal or do we have to commit to a series to participate ? There are 3 of us and I know of at least 2 more that would be interested.
Thanks.

Your crf50 will fly in there. Had a guy on a stock one last year putting up a good fight against big block machines, he would just keep it pinned, the smaller wheels and wheel base helped him carry more roll speed vs the bigger machines that had to resort to more point and shoot ride styles.

johnnyb my name is mark and i will be meeting with m.i.k. tomorrow to ask if we can have possesion of the track for at least one night with the four people who have sighned up already if no one else comes. sign up is not a comitment it is just a guage for participation. If you show up on jan. 3 we will make the room for you. Anyone who drives 3 hours in the winter to race will race, but if you plan on coming drop m.i.k. a line to let us know your coming.

This Earl a friend of Mark, I've been letting Mark use my acc. om PM. I'm going to work on getting him his own acc.

You have to call MIK to secure a spot. but there should be room for people that show up on Jan. 3 Last it was 5 bikes. Two years ago it was 18 or 16 made good for two groups one small bikes & Big bikes.

As far as I know the only 4 bikes have secure a spot.

Earl on Dr-z70
Mark on Crf50
Bert on Crf50 with 88cc
Ron on XR70

Maineidoorkarting (or anyone) if you see this and have more names let me know and I'll update this post.

Earl
