Rossi, Lawson, Rainey, King Kenny Roberts To Race Each Other

CC Cowboy · June 9th, 2009, 07:19 AM

If anyone is going to Laguna for the MotoGP, you are in for a greatime. The atmosphere there is great, the motorcycle race is great, the great riders will race each other (in Karts), the opportunity to ride the track is great, and Skip Barber is doing a race school there so you don't have to pretend to be a racer and crash on the way home. So mortage your home, leave your wife and kids (unless they ride), grab your buddies, and have the time of your life.

I'd love to see King Kenny mixing it up with Valentino, but only on 2 wheels. I'll bet he could still teach Rossi a thing or two about handling a bike, even if he is retired. Looking forward to seeing pics of this "race" in the bike mags. It's always nice to see a shot of the old warrior enjoying himself now that the pressure's off a bit. I hope they at least paint his "kart" in his trademark Yamaha yellow with black stripes.

Sounds like a pretty cool thing, really for Wayne to kick some ass

Steady Eddie all the way. He was the Kawi man way back when (well Wayne was too).

those karts corner unbelievably

They accelerate and stop pretty well too.

I remember at the old Loudon karts held the track record followed by bikes, then cars.
