Think of short track as cyclocross without the mud, dismounts, and
runups.

You'll be fine. If you have both a CX bike and an MTB give each one a
try-- they'll handle differently but each will be fun!

I actually had a hard time deciding which bike to race each week-- CX
bike or MTB? CX bike or MTB??

Cheers,
Brian

My father asks : "Do you live here or ride bikes?"

Just use a set of wheels you are willing to trash and you will be
fine....you might also want to relax your position on the bike a bit as well
to help with handling...some of the moto cross course can be a bit daunting
on a cross bike.

Yes.

You'll be fine, or you'll die. The bike you ride won't make much difference
as to whether you're fine or you die, but it might make a difference in how
you race. Depending on whether the course next week is super dry and bumpy
or has lots of smooth grassy sections, a 'cross bike could be a benefit or a
handicap. The course changes a bit every week, so it's hit or miss as to
which will be the case.

Some of the fastest guys out there will be on 'cross bikes.
