I have emailed one of the CCS people, but no reply in a while...I am looking to enter my 1st race but I don't know what class I can be in.
Looking at the rules for ULTB, I see the entry of:
"2 cylinder, Air cooled, under 350cc"
I have a 1973 Yamaha RD350. 2-cylinder, air cooled 347cc. It is a 2-stroke (if that matters).
Would this be ULTB legal?
----------
2nd question:
I did the LCRS and have a 'temp' license that is hand written.
Do I need something different before entering/registering for a race??
I also never received the legendary blue LCRS t-shirt (the 'don't hit me this is my first race' t-shirt)
Hi,
The best way to get an answer to your question is to call the CCS office in TX. I looked at the rulebook, and by the letter of the rules, you are legal. It does not, however specify for 2-stroke, hence, calling CCS for clarification. You WOULD be legal for GT Ultralight and 500cc Supersport. As for the temp license, that should not be a problem. As for the T-shirt, catch one of the Learning Curves instructors Saturday morning of a race weekend, and we'll be happy to help.

Thanks, Doc!
Originally, I saw the listing for the 500ss and thought I should be in that class...but, then it became apparent that the UNI pods on the bike meant it had an airbox mod...so, technically not legal in 500ss. Even though it's a bike form 1973...in a class against the new RC390 & R3.
I did leave a voicemail at the main number for CCS a while ago. Then, I emailed Kevin on the 8th and now Eric tonight.

You don't need a "don't stuff me" shirt! You need to hand those out to the other guys. :)

Judging by what the rulebook says,you are good to go :thumb:

Those blue LCRS shirts are like the red shirts in Star Trek. Lol.
Anyway, hope to see you in ULTB. Be interesting to see how that RD holds up against bikes 40 years newer.
With the suspension set up properly and good tires(obviously) that RD should give most a run for the money. Air-cooled RD350's can move without a doubt.I miss mine! Best of luck with that bike,show 'em whats up :cheers:
I guess I will enter ULTB for the Road America rounds!
We didn't go with the full race Avon tires, but some decent ones.
So far, I've only done a few blasts up & down a small parking lot....so, we'll see how it goes.
I hope for some seat time this Sunday if weather holds out.
D@mn....now im thinking about getting another RD.........thanks alot :ahhh: :biggrin:
I got a reply from CCS. They said they were travelling recently.
The RD350 is good for the ULTB class !!
YAY.
Nice!! :thumb: What region will you be running in?

He's in the MW region.
yup, I'm in the MW.
Got the RD ready for R.A.
No appreciable time on the bike, I had ignition issues at the last trackday...so, this should be interesting heading to RA for a first good outing.
This has been an interesting year for the RD:
Practice at RA - crashed. Hit stock foot peg in T8.
1st race at RA = tranny issue, did not finish
-built forks with spring & emulators
2nd race at BFR = rain - did not race
3rd race at BFR = dead last - small tranny issue
- modified foot pegs for clearance
4th race at BFR = beat TWO ninjas. small tranny issue
Out for season = tranny issues
Right now I'm 10th overall in MW ULTB.
Such is the life racing vintage bikes :thumb: Im on a FZR,so not quite as aged-to-perfection as an RD,but still,its alot of fun running with newer bikes on something "old" :cheers: Good job regardless............and get that d@mned tranny fixed!!!! :biggrin:

Spoot, you should have said something sooner. You could have raced my 300 for me this weekend while I'm all busted up. I was talking to Schwags about racing it, but he's got his hand full with middleweight.
Anyway, if I can't heal up enough to race it next year, (got some pretty serious nerve and muscle damage) I'll probably be looking for a rider and then I'll just play the roll of builder and sponsor for the season.
Spoot,you arent doing me any favours!! Im trying to stay focused on next years builds,and youre making me ponder another RD......... :ahhh: I just saw the vid's :thumb: AWESOME!!!
