Recently I ran into a guy that rides his 1000cc bike on a track couple times a year. It made me think:

gts300+track+CPR '23 prep=good idea?

I would plan to run in the amateur lowest level group so I don't limit the faster types...

Anyone got experience on a track with their vespa? In EU its a thing but here state side I did not see anything in this category. Any "famous" track here in US that hosts Vespas? Not gonna lie-looking for a road trip excuse (lol).

Taking a scooter to the track looks like fun. I would certainly go on a road trip for that.

There's a group in the Midwest that races Groms on gokart tracks - it's called something like Dancing Bear. Looks hella fun!

[edit] found it!

I saw that...300cc might be too much to stretch out but at least its a start...if I get enough interest I will start making calls to local tracks and maybe look to book a weekend and we all meet up for some racing? tbc...

My memory isn't reliable, but I swear I saw something about scooters on a track or a scooter track day somewhere in New Hampshire. I wish I could remember where I saw it so I could give more details. Sorry for the vagueness.
