Minicarna Tournament

This weekend I will be participating in the Minicarna tournament at PPS "Pylon Park Suzuka" in Suzuka.

This is a gymkhana event that is only open to vehicles with 12 inches or 125cc or less, and can be considered the ultimate showdown for mini bike riders.

Due to parking restrictions, the number of participants is limited to about 20 people, but with some of the top 12-inch riders gathering, it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

I'll give it a try, with the intention of learning from it.

This is an event that I would not have been able to participate in before, but now that I'm riding a KX112 (12-inch model), I'm able to participate.

There are no tire restrictions, so I will participate with CST CM-SRR as my main tire. I will also bring Bridgestone SS601 for wet conditions.

I've been riding a Z650 for the past two months, so I was a little worried, so yesterday I brought my KX to a weekday training session to get my body used to it.

There was absolutely no problem riding it, and in fact it felt like it mixed well with the Z650.

Also, I'm not used to driving with PPS, so I think the first hurdle will be whether it can handle the road surface there.

Now I just have to be careful not to lose sight of the pylons scattered in the narrow space.

I'll do my best!

Since it's a Mini, we loaded three cars this time! It's a lot of luggage, but the charm of the Mini is that you can easily fit three cars in it (^^♪
