Hooked!
I'm going to try to make it out. If so i should be able to provide beds for a few people.

[Lost]

Dude, do heavy weight novice as well!

[GPTECHMAN]

you gonna race in march?

[brakstad]

Dude, do heavy weight novice as well!

According to the rule book I'm not allowed to do that (w/ the GSXR). Don't want to race the RC...

[Lost]

You can do it! People can protest you after it, but you do it for experience. 2 races in one day!

Ok i'm going to make a serious effort to race in march... I got get better and in shape FAST!! HELP!

Edit: I have done it before and it was alot of fun(03 r6 in 1000cc heavyweight). I think you can still do it. I signed up to race last year (then ended up in the hospital, fun), and i didn't get anything from them saying that it was not cool. I did get gridded last, but that was the fun part!

You ARE already up there... :whistle:

[pulse]

the guy that got second in our race did the heavyweight novice race too. You just get DQ'ed afterwards but they still let you race

[Arnold_R1]

I think Sete said he was in!

I'm gonna come up and watch since it looks like a lot of people racing this month! :thumbsup:


p.s-just wondering, what classes can the 1098 run in?

[GPTECHMAN]

HW-Novice!!!

I think you can run is a ton of classes with it.
HW Twins
F1
Open Superstock
Open Superbike

Just out of curiosity , what all needs to be safety wired?

[mieff]

Just out of curiosity , what all needs to be safety wired?


you know this sounds like the words of someone who is toying with the idea of racing. ;)

[GPTECHMAN]

Just out of curiosity , what all needs to be safety wired?

Pretty much anything with fluids behind it and your axles, brake caliper bolts, and pinch bolts.

Lee's will do it for you for under 200 which would be about 3 hours labor...sounds fair to me

[brakstad]

I checked with WSMC and they also said I could enter HW Novice; they'll put me on the back of the grid like Lost said... Guess I'm doing two races then...

[GPTECHMAN]

LOL....BEEEEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get those points so we can play :rifle:

[GPTECHMAN]

OK...Lets mount the TRE Campaign....Its said and done....

Calling now to confirm the team orders...

[Lost]

Yea!!! Ok, gotta see if i can make this!!

[Arnold_R1]

... well the e-racing stuff is pretty cheap :whistle:

[pulse]

LOL....BEEEEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get those points so we can play :rifle:

bengt did they say you would get points for HV weight though?

[brakstad]

They did not say (i did not ask).. I don't need the points, already have enough.. I think you get to keep them unless some liter bike biatch protest the result within 30 minutes of the results being posted.

[Typerr10]

I have a newbie question...how much does this racing business cost?...how much is a race license, racing a race, etc...especially if your not sponsored...just out of curiosity...

[brakstad]

My first race was $610. That includes $300 for the transponder (needed for race timing, one-time purchase or you can rent for $60 per race weekend), $80 for the race ($70 if you pre-register), $120 for the WSMC license, and $110 for the new racer school.

Tire warmers are not a must, but certainly nice to have. Retail $400. Then you need a genarator, another $500-900. New tires, transportation, hotel, etc etc

So once the initial costs are out of the way, it's $70 per race you enter ($50 for each additional race you enter on the same day).

Thanks for the heads up brakstad...Goodluck to all of you this year! Maybe in the future I can give it a shot! But for now I'll stick with trackdays trying to get better lap times! :lift:

Ouch, $610!! Damn that Transponder! :grr:

If, now I say If (I ain't dropping the ball yet), I'm gonna try and go the cheapy route.

$60 (rented transponder)
$70 (pre-register)
$120 (license)
$110 (NRS)

Cheap a*s e-racing bodywork w/Krylon rattle can yellow
$350

[brakstad]

Arnold, it would be friggin awesome if you came out. You will have an absolute blast!

Dude, don't knock the rattle can job :)

You may be able to borrow a transponder from someone here that's not racing that weekend...

[pulse]

yeah you can just borrow a transponder...i had to borrow sean's because mine was dead.

[GPTECHMAN]

i think gang bang has one and isnt racing try him

[trackpimp]

I'm only going to be there in the pit-***** capacity. I'd like to do the Streets series, but I'm not sure about that either. I've been having fun coaching these guys, and making them faster.

I heard that deathblow might make an appearance

[pulse]

i heard gptechman was making his expert debut....

[deathblow]

I heard that deathblow might make an appearance

This damned work thing is killing me! So many things to do and buy. I got the safety wiring done, but my bike still needs alot of work. Suspension is crap right now, way too loose, need someone's expertise. I also have not ridden my bike, or at least 'really' ridden it since early last November. Regardless, I would like to be out there with you guys someway, somehow, even if it is just to hang out and take pics.

[GPTECHMAN]

i heard gptechman was making his expert debut....

You heard wrong, I only show up for double points weekends...so I can get at least 2 points if I dont finish the race
:roflmao:

My bike as of late is trying to kill me so I need to get that sorted out this weekend.:whistle: :roflmao: :hammer:

What do you have to buy...call my office and Ill get it for you. We can get the numbers close to what bengt and myself have.

Seriously, what do you need?

[nocontrol]

He's working out of his garage right now. Concentrating more on his 9-5'r. He's working with my son, and gave me some stickers to throw on the bikes...

[GPTECHMAN]

so what does he do? Does he sell tires?

[deathblow]

Let's see:


Speed

Speed

I'll call you today.

[brakstad]

The speed you have, the money for the entry is on me and practice if you want it...I have a voucher.

[nocontrol]

so what does he do? Does he sell tires?

No longer selling tires. He's in construction... General Contracting, I believe.

[GPTECHMAN]

Sorry for the confusion...I was just wondering cause i knew that he sold tires before. I guess I still dont understand what he does as far as bikes go especially since he doesnt sell tires. Does he just have stickers :confused:

Nah, he does tire changes and like I said, he's helping coach my son. My son's riding an NSR50 with SCminiGP.

it's only showing a 20% chance of light rain showers and the wind is looking like it will be favorable...i say do it!

[pjwong83]

Arnold and I are planning to come up and watch but if you guys (Bengt, Jared, Sean? Allen?) are a no go neither are we...

[brakstad]

I'm going up no matter what.. Want to get the cornerworking out of the way on Saturday. I'm signed up for 2 races on Sunday. Hoping for dry conditions of course...

You're call Janell. Don't forget Sete, I think he is still going.

[nocontrol]

Don't forget about me! I'll be there.

[pjwong83]

i'm a newb. I don't know everyone. :)

Sete and nocontrol unless they're one and the same.. look forward to meeting you.

[nocontrol]

Nope, Sete and I are not one in the same...

Will see you this weekend. I'll have my number today.

[pulse]

yeah i think i am gonna go corner work for sure.....i will bring the bike and see what happens, i have not pre-registared for the race anyway so if the weather blows i will just watch bengt dominate....

[KaTooM]

I will be there for Sat practice, racing F40 light and Mod Prod Sunday.

I may try the new Dunlops for raceday... http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=31724

[cbrsmurf]

damn the one days you guys go up, i'll be down in sd. I want to at least watch if i can't race!

[pjwong83]

Yay It's Almost The Weekend!!

[brakstad]

Yeah! Can't wait!

[pulse]

well it looks like sete is a no go, doctors orders......so it may just be me and the beez hold it down...

[GPTECHMAN]

well it looks like sete is a no go, doctors orders......so it may just be me and the beez hold it down...

Who listens to the doctors anyway?
:roflmao:
Damn I wish my bike was functional...Id like to practice.

[MotoFuzzle]

Sidecars are gonna be there all weekend too. If you wanna be a monkey for a practice session or a race approach them. They're always willing to give out rides. I did it last year around this time and had a blast. Not as fun as riding solo, but you get a much bigger adrenaline rush from it. You'll be flying the chair through turn 3 and drifting through turn 4. It's something you gotta try at least once in your life.
