" The 72 Metrakit race turned out to be one of the best races of the day. 14-year-old Tommy Aquino (24) battled side by side with 11-year-old Cassidy Heiser (67) in every corner in every lap. Aquino eventually won."From the 2006 Road Racing Grand Championships article on the AMA site here.
How does an 11 year old do this on Sunday and report back to grade school on Monday?
The bikes may not have the top speed of full size bikes but they carry all their speed through the corners. There is not a lot of difference in the size of the tire contact patch.
"What did you do this weekend Billy?"
"Watched the game on TV and then we had pizza!"
"What did you do Cassidy?"
"I raced my motorcycle on a proffesional road race course in front of thousands of people."
Well there weren't that many people there but it was awesome!
What a head start kids like this get over their peers.
I work with people who complain about every little change.
