Last Night at the Meeting the Club decided to encourage more 50 riders. For the next few races Air Cooled 50s will get free entry in that class.
Please pass this on to all the new little 50 riders at the track. We need to build up our 50 riders badly.

Mark the Beginner 50s was created for true beginners who have never raced before and are riding the newer air cooled bikes that are not designed as race bikes. Honda CRF, Yamaha 50, Suzuki JR 50, KTM Mini Adventurer ect. The LEM 50 is a race bike as are the older air cooled Cobras. You will have to get a decision from the Race Director but as an ex 50 parent who spent several years in the 50s recently I would say your Son would have to run the LEM in the age classes. Saying that, your Son would be very competative in the age group due to a lot of our 50s moving up to 65s.
The air cooled class was created to ban the true race bikes and let the beginner 50s have a place to race. Another example of an air cooled bike that would be banned is the KTM SR Adventurer. This is air cooled but a race bike. The Sr Adventurer I believe has 8 hp compared to the 2 1/2 hp of the Mini Adventurer.
My Son is still a legal age to ride a 50 but he will be on an 85 this next race.
