Dealing strictly with the hawk style bikes, I dont think youd have any chance. 7" of suspension travel, 14 hp, and 50+ extra pounds of weight would make it a really bad choice.

I have taken my tbr7 to a little mx track nearby and can say I was lucky to keep up with kids riding old dirtbikes, and my buddies on a kdx200 and cr250r both passed me like I was on a bicycle.

However, in the trails I held up much better with my buddies on dirtbikes and actually had to slow a few times because of them. But I've spent some time on working out my suspension so its allot easier to ride than it was stock.

I'd still be up to try a harescramble / cc type race if I could find some others on hawk style bikes or some 30+ year old bike that wanted to have some fun. I just dont want to be the only one out there looking silly. Lol
