On a cut down racer, the carbon fiber would look cool. On a stock VBB.. no thank you.

Last year my partner and I took part in an even here in OZ called the Le Mins 24hr race.

50cc Scoots, for 24 hrs.

There was a team which turned up and Robbie Bulger and Matt Mingea were in it. They are professional stunmen. Matt mingea was Tom Cruise's stunt double in mission impossible.

They had a Derbi GP1 50, which had $10,000 spent on it!!

It went like a cut snake for it's engine size.

There was also a brand new Aprilia 50, and it was ridden up to the second last lap where the engine seized!!

Something interesting I've noticed about the scooter racers here in Brisbane anyway is that a large majority of them actually ride dirt bikes. During the race they were all putting their feet out and sliding doing powerslides in the mud to go around the bends quicker.

Great fun to watch.

I'd love to see how my scoot would go, but my vespa is too good for that kind of treatment.

Anyhoo, here's a few pics:
A $5000 Derbi with $10,000 worth of kit....somewhere

Matt Mingea on the Derbi. He was lapping everyone.

It poured for nearly the whole race. This is the line up for the start.

All the mud from the rain made things very interesting on the turns.
