LW Thunderbike?

The lack of advertising and publicity for this class is shameful.

How the hell does anyone expect a new class to succeed if there is virtually no official press release or announcements made regarding it. I know there are at least 5 guys chomping at the bit to dive in but it seems so unorganized.

I should have my bike together for the next round if I can sell my 600 soon! Really looking forward to this!!!

Does anyone have contact info on Fischer ?  He used to race with us in the MW region back in the 90's. I tried to contact him through the web site, no luck.
I picked up a crashed 08 Ninja 250 , that was for sale in a front yard, just cause it was cheap. If this class comes together ,i'm in !!

How many Ninja 250 riders are on here that would ride the Florida Region??

I would be in on an old Honda 350. I believe the bike is legal in LWTB, plus- don't have to work on it!

Hey guys,
 
I know that I am jumping into this a little late but I recently aquired an 08 250 with intensions of racing up north since they have a class for it. I am located in Miami Florida and would love to see the class offered in the CCS Florida region. I know a few other guys who have also purchased EX250's and a few who are considering it. Henry tells us that he would add the class if there is a sufficient grid.
 
If the the CCS Ultra Light Weight Thunder bike rules are applied, I think that this would be a very affordable and very competetive class that is long over due. I have raced GP bikes for several years and although I love GP bikes I find it difficult to make it out there due to budget constraints. For instance, I am in need of reeds, a piston, cylinder replating, five gallons of leaded fuel, oil, and a set of tires. The ninja rode an entire track day on one tank of gas and the tires still look new. A Spec SV class like the SV cup would be cool but I think that the Ninja EX250r would really provide the best bang for the buck all around.

Thanks!

I'm interested in bringing the 250 series down into Florida. I would definitely participate.

<<sigh>>

All of you SV freaks......I used to be one myself.....but let's please not be afraid
to go ahead and have a grid that the mighty SV's actually aren't allowed on!

I specifically bought & built a ninja 250 to race in CCS or WERA, or whatever org I can get track time with.
It's cheap, it's fun, it's super competitive because unlike an SV you really can't spend gobs of money building it.
Supersport SV my ass.....I've witnessed arguably one of the most over the top SV's in the country for years!!!
(think Midwest CCS) $10-12k will build you a nice SS SV. Of course there's used ones to be had, but I can build a Ninja 250 on <$2k, and a set of tires last 3-5 weekends, & hey......guess what?!?!.....it was the most fun I've had racing in 5 years!

ULWTB.....it's a real thing....& it's really fun. WERA, OMRA, CVRA, & other series have seen 20+ bike grids at certain races of all 250 pilots. Don't be afraid to check it out. CCS Midwest should see a grid with over a dozen in 2012.....& hopefully they can convince CCS to throw a GT grid of only 250's on the back of another grid. Maybe do a reverse 2 wave start, where the 250's start first.....

I put together a Ninja 250 this summer and it is by far the most fun bike I have ever ridden. You can ride it all day long at full tilt and smile ear to ear while doing it. $3k will put you on a completely set up bike with a tire budget of $600 all season!

I'll be on the CCS Atlantic grid in 2012 for sure!!!
