0 Comments | Posted by admin in club racing
SpeedVentures HPDE at Buttonwillow on Jan 28, 2012. Two of my laps from Blue group (low intermediate), session 2. My third lap (2nd lap in this clip) was about 2:21.6, which is not that fast. (For my car, a 2:12 would be considered pretty fast, and a good driver in a Spec Miata might do about 2:07.)

With an overcast morning practice session, the weather quickly went monsoon after lunch break. However, John did managed to achieve fastest time (FTD) for the Mercedes Class with his racing slick in the rain.

Are you thinking about purchasing a gas powered motor scooter? Well, if you are, gas powered 300cc motor scooters are a great choice to start with. Most people who buy scooters are concerned that a scooter is legal in traffic. This is a valid concern. Anyone who has ever driven a car at one time or another I am sure has had a chance to be behind a scooter and wished the scooter would just move to the far side of the road.
There speed was just as slow as a slug. Well, with a 300cc scooter you can stay with the traffic. I would not recommend taking a motorized scooter or any scooter on the highway. Yes, they do have the capability to travel at high speeds but the speed necessary to keep up with highway traffic may overwhelm a scooter. They are just not designed for that type of traffic interaction.
Some scooters are almost just like motorcycles. They carry the same characteristics in that some scooters can read top speeds around 70 – 80 mph. With these scooters being able to read those types of speed they are perfect for zooming around town and replacing common uses for cars. Let take a look at the kind of distance that can be achieved per fill up. Most gas powered 300cc motor scooters are able to accomplish 65 to 70 mpg. That is exceptional millage. they have a gas tank in most models that can hold 2.9 gallons of fuel. In terms of filling up if you used your scooter all month you would probably have to fill the scooter up maybe 3 to 4 times a month if that. Lets compare that to a car. With the way gas prices are going these days and the poor gas mileage that most cars and SUV’s have you would be lucky to not have to fill a car up twice a week.
Operating a gas scooter is much simpler than operations of a motorcycle. Most gas scooters don’t come with gears, they are automatic making them much easier to operate. But the scooters that do have gears are usually only high and low gears. Still much easier to operate than motorcycles. All the owner will have to do is jump on, turn the key and twist the handle for gas. That is it and the scooter will swiftly move to its next destination.
Maintenance for a scooter is pretty much like the maintenance on a car and truck. Old for the scooter motor should be changed every 2000 miles and a complete tuneup should be done every 5000 miles. This may differ if the owners manual say anything different. It is recommended that a higher grade fuel be used for a scooter. 87 octane fuel is cheaper than all the other choices but it is not refined as clean as 93 octane fuel. 93 octane has an agent added to the fuel that will guard the inside of the engine and help to keep it clean over your long ownership. Lastly, change the fuel filter often as this will keep muck and build up from entering your engine and producing damage. Also, check the spark plugs every 2000 to 3000 miles and regap them with a regaping tool if they need it. This should save your scooter and have it on the road for years to come.
