Check out midwest supermotard. There's a whole season of supermoto racing happening in St. Louis this year. The national round will be a blast. I definitely plan on racing in the regional premier class, and I think I'm going to try to qualify for the National points event too. This supermoto thing is really taking off!

Go cart tracks are ideal for supermoto racing. That's what we use down here in St. Louis, the Gateway Carting Club's facility. It's very technical, 9 turns in 1/2 mile, with speeds over 70mph on the straight.

Briggs and Stratton are one of the last companies I would associate with racing

Ever heard of go karting? Cool things, go karts. Some people even create big tracks for them.

Now go soak your head!

Did you see the nifty Briggs & Stratton twin? 30ft*lbs plus of peak torque. Ought to mow like a champ.



C'mon... you know it now. Briggs & Stratton has a racing division. They have the money to be a venue sponsor for the kart track at Road America. Motard events are often run at kart tracks. It all makes perfect sense.



Now go soak your.... oh never mind.

Latest word is that the St. Louis round will be at the UMB Pavillion (formerly Riverport), and be promoted by Clear Channel... the folks who bring you AMA Supercross.



Also heard a rumor that Husqvarna factory rider Eddie Seel will be competing at all rounds of this new series. Very very cool.



I'm hoping that if I can get out on the track for the national event that he will lap me at least once close to a photographer.
