For those of you that have a regional mini-moto/mini GP race league available to you, do any of you plan to race your Grom? Here in Denver, I plan to enter my Grom in our local series, Rocky Mountain Mini Moto (assuming my Grom ever gets here). Though I've never participated in any kind of organized racing, I'm still super excited. What are all your thoughts on the Grom as a full blown mini GP racer? How do you think it will stack up against other popular mini's like KX65, NSR50s, etc? It looks like the only major "problem" with the Grom is the super low stock rearsets that seems to limit lean angle quite a bit.

Personally, I think the Grom could be huge for mini road racing. Considering that a lot of mini road racing seems to be done by adults, I think a mini-bike that's actually designed for a grown up (as opposed to a 9 year old) could be a big hit. It seems like right now the US is still very much in its "beta phase" with the Grom considering how limited availability is. However, I think the after-market is about to explode with parts for these bikes, and I'm sure we'll see a lot of race-specific parts too. What do you guys think?

Well... I wanted to, but not sure now. Hopefully we will have a group here that does so that I may cheer them on!

I'd love to but I doubt anything like that would start here or at least anytime soon.

Sassy,
Why no racing for you this year?

Floppy, where are you located?

Check out the chassis that the guy is building in the "Builds" section. If he'll build another one-- I'm on it!! --L*64

If only my area would get something like this.

hopefully next year after some heavy modding.

We have a few guys that are planning to race them here in Ohio. --L*64

Don't have much information for that type of series in my area (Oklahoma), but it's something that I would love to do. I know one person already has a Grom setup for racing when I was spectating at the Supermoto/Minis race this weekend. I honestly just need more information to prepare the bike to participate in practice and in racing (need to know what to safety wire, catch cans if required, axle sliders, etc.).

Oklahoma Superbikers runs minis up there. You should check into them. Even have some good ol racers racing with them when bigger events allow. Great guys and gals that I have met when they come down to race TMGP with us.

I personally know a few of them (like Fred), but don't know where they post now since the old site / domain isn't up anymore.

After a little harder search, just found the current domain, www.osbsupermoto.com . Maybe it's their forum that no longer exists. :disappointed:

I just got a Grom with full intent to race I live in Maryland and plan to race and do track days at Sandyhook Speedway and New Jersey Motorsports Park. Here are links to both series:

Both are mini moto in general not grom specific, but should be a blast. Let me know if anyone plans to ride with these organizations.
