Day 2 of the Rob Buydos promoted pitbike event here at Chicagoland Speedway. 12 identical TTR110s provided by Motozilli Yamaha out of Ohio only have taller Renthal bars, PC pipes, better tires and graphics. The riders are The Who’s who of moto yesteryear as Villopoto, Stanton, Bradshaw, Mike Brown and Gary Semics all battle it out with younger guys Willy Browning and Carson Brown and some well known industry vets. Chicago Fire actor Taylor Kinney is also here riding. The track is really cool and mellow And the crowd is slowly growing each time. There’s another race tonight at 7pm (rumored nascar drivers) and 2 races on Sunday. This is a sweet event and NBC even showed a few clips of it giving us some more exposure. If you’re in the area, swing in by the Yamaha and Monster Energy booth and say hi. Here’s Brown, RV2 and the Beast from the East before their heat race. More updates later but I posted a bunch of vids on my ig’s @mxculture and @sanosystems if you want to see the track and racing.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'm sure there are a few people on vital who don't have fb, ig, etc... So if you happen to post more content here it probably wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. Asking for a friend. Whistling

Me too.
It already has! Woohoo

Honda has a Fuel Injected 110 and they upgraded the frame for 2019

Honda 110

Kawasaki offers 2 110's. One standard and one with upgraded forks and shock and a manual clutch

Kawasaki 110

Yamaha has a 110

Yamaha 110

All these brands have Electric start with a back up kick starter and a 4 speed transmission. I was looking at YCF but they aren't up to par with these as far as I could tell and with Honda being Fuel Injected plus having a steel twin spar steel frame... My vote goes to Honda.

So cool. Thanks for vids!

I saw a couple video guys on the track, do you know if anyone is working on a video of the race?

Diffysmooth was taking pics and he’s posted a few already. there were lots of video guys, including NBC cameras, but I didn’t recognize any of them. I’m sure Rob got contact info and former SX guy Denny Hartwig is the media guy there so I bet we’ll see something soon.
