There's a race series in the DC metro area that runs at Allsports and a couple of outdoor kart tracks (Monrovia I believe). Check 'em out: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.pocketbikeracer.com/">http://www.pocketbikeracer.com/</a><!-- m -->
The fast pocket bikes (12+ hp) will get up to about 70 mph. They have a high enough power to weight ratio that they can do wheelies easily and will dump your ass if you are imprudent with the throttle. Much the same way F1 drivers use (or used) shifter karts to get sharp, a lot of the Moto GP riders use pocket bikes to train. Food for thought :twisted: .
