Default Pocket bike racing for Beginners

Here's the video:
http://lunarvue.com/od_pocketbike.mov

I shot it a couple of weeks ago at Primus in Palmetto, Fl.
For more info about SEPRA: SpeedCreep - Official Site of SEPRA (Southeast Pocketbike Racing Alliance)

Special thanks to Teresa from SEPRA, that's her bike I'm riding. And, the portion of the video that has me on the bike was shot by one of their members/racers, Stacey....he's the guy working on the bike in the background. He did a great job. It was a lot of fun.

Pretty sure you need the race leathers and stuff. Some of those bikes there can do up to 60mph.
The folks at SEPRA could tell you more if you are interested....they were an awesome bunch of folks, and they sure have a good time.

I think its more of a club than a leauge. They told me you can get into competitve pocket bikes pretty easily...doesn't take too much cash compared to other motorsports. Infact, the leathers and helmet can cost more than the bike itself. There are bikes that are less than $500 bucks that are pretty fast I'm told.
