Rally Pat Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I dont think it could happen. Too dangerous for bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkinhood Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I think track days are the closest you'd ever see. During the summer they go on decently often up at mid ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoFreak57 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 that looks hard as hell. I bet there is too much liability for it to happen in the US though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 SuperMoto is done on dirtbikes using street tires. It's not really autocross, but is racing on small, cart-sized tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 SuperMoto is done on dirtbikes using street tires. It's not really autocross, but is racing on small, cart-sized tracks. with jumps and a dirt section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin Miata Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I'm pretty sure that Gymkhana is what autocross evolved from. It's more focused on driving skill and style than fastest time.

kenny Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Buy a mini and race it at a go-kart track... CPR races all kinds of minis from YSR/NSRs to mini motards (like my KX), etc. etc. Google the Ohio YSR leauge, lots of good guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size of the bikes and low speed nature would make it feasible. This is MUCH slower and tighter than a typical autocross today, and as long as the rider had the right equipment on it would work out.
