SCminiGP and Fastrack Riders Get Serious

From a SCminiGP press release:

After an entire year of supporting each other in a co-promotional relationship SCminiGP and Fastrack Riders decide to get serious. Fastrack Riders who is best known for their track days at California Speedway has shown interest in helping to develop up and coming riders from the SCminiGP program. Fastrack Riders who will host 42 track day events in
2007 has offered to provide track time to select SCminiGP riders to help break them into the 125cc scene. The track time will be free of charge on select dates for two specific riders SCminiGP President Josiah Taulbee has picked. It is likely the youth will rotate dates to accommodate all the progressing racers. This type of support is an incredible benefit of racing with SCminiGP whose families are being introduced to the new costs of next level racing.

SCminiGP sees this relationship as the perfect fit and they are developing programs from the beginner level to advanced racer to accommodate youth progression. SCminiGP knows that they can only take riders so far. The premier racing class in their series consists of 125cc road race chassis stuffed with fully built 80cc motors that can reach 100mph. The bikes are raced on three of Southern California’s best kart tracks but are limited by the size which generally runs ¾ of a mile. This opportunity will allow for youth to adapt to higher speeds through practice while continuing to race with SCminiGP. SCminiGP who has participated in Fastrack’s events felt they offered the safest environment for growing youth, so the relationship just made sense.

Fastrack Riders sees the youth as the future of road racing and hopes to be a part of an educated platform. As a company they pride themselves on encouraging riders to take it to the track. This type of program only better supports their interest in smart and safe riding. Fastrack truly feels this is a chance to support a youth program that will bring more riders into the sport of road racing. Fastrack considers SCminiGP a hard working program who runs a quality environment and it was common sense to help open the doors for their youth.
