From the BSA site....
'Valentino Rossi has confirmed he will be racing in the special SuperKart race organised the Thursday before the US MotoGP. Kenny Roberts, Eddie Lawson , Wayne Rainey will also be competing in Yamaha TZ-250 super-karts with Valentino.
Racing karts is not alien to Rossi who won the Junior Italian karting Champion as a kid before moving to bikes. Rossi said: “I still practice quite a lot. I think I can be competitive. I like the chance to race against the old heroes - but I will go more slow than them. I have to think about the grand prix.”
The karts themselves lap only 2 seconds slower than Casey Stoner’s MotoGP lap record!'
KR,EL,WR have been racing superkarts for a while now,guess they were bored plus its probably the same thrill without the risk of falling off,Rossi says he won't go fast,yeah right,once he gets out on track and samples it he won't be able to resist it and i bet he'll have a grin ear to ear.
