2.4 What's this "YSR" stuff I Hear About?
Another Bike/Class option is to race YSRs. The Yamaha YSR is a 50cc or
80cc two stroke that looks like a sport bike. They are raced in
parking lots, on go cart tracks, and on regular race tracks.
YSR racing isn't as high speed as full size racing, but it is a
fantastic alternative for people who can't ante up the entrance fee
for big-time racing, or are not prepared (due to family, etc) to risk
life and limb for the pursuit of adrenaline.
YSR's also provide a semi-safe place to hone up racing skills (most of
them are directly transferrable) before stepping up to lightweights.
Crashes are not usually serious, so racers can get used to falling
off.
There are mini-racing (as it's also called) group around North
America--check the YSR 50 Racing page for more details; they've got
addresses and numbers for groups around the continent. You can also
check ???
