How long can I wait ?

[unforgivenracing]

I have not reinstated my C.C.S. race license in a few years, and would like to know if I have too retake any schooling and start all over again from scratch before I am allowed to do so?

  How long before this would affect my eligabillity in the expert class of Supertwins 4-example?

 I read about a 5yr cut-off/deadline for thunderbike, would those guidelines apply to me and what are the limits for this class in referance to displacement of bike, if this is the only door I have open to me too maintain my status, and run this summer?

BUT there is always common sense exceptions. I would recommend calling Kevin! Could save alot of hassle! Just my 2 cents

Hey, Thanks.

Common sence would demand that I recertify do to the lapse of time just as a refresher course, I am just not compleatly clear on the expert status end of it.  Do I still have to start over with yellow plates and run them untill either 500 points, or a top ten win review accures, then change back to white or can I continue as a expert after retaking a rider school?

A good example:  My latest license expired in 03'.

in short, what do I need to do????????
Help me!
