MJ:

The F-USA series was supposed to be the stepping stone to the AMA 'pro' racing.  That is why that series doesn't have any regions and your grid position is determined by qualifying times.

I'm sure there are other differences, but I never investigated them further.

Some of the racers have teams with matching uniforms.

CCS is regional racing, and FUSA/NRRS is National racing

F-USA grids are determined by qualifying in some classes (Sportbike, Superbike and Thunderbike) but not others (UNL GP, etc.).

A purse is paid in all F-USA classes. Entry and license fees are higher.

F-USA is a chance to race against a faster riders.

I believe that there is qualifying in all the sprint races.

The team challenge is available, under the 2003 format.

Since there is a purse, in addition to manufacturer and other contingencies, there will be faster riders.  It is CCS's Pro set up.  It's kind of a shell of what it was in 2000, but it still has excelent competition.

Dave is right. All sprint grids are now based on qualifying times.

And are amateurs allowed in Thunderbike?  There is amateur Unlimited Grand Prix in FUSA.

That's for you MJ, but I'd bet they'd have to handicap your bike with a restrictor os something.

I thought the rulebook said you have to be a licensed expert for one year to run Thunderbike, Superbike, and Sportbike.  I thought the only amateur class was AM Unlimited GP.

The bike is...I know...remember, I did race one too...

Trey, I don't know.  They keep changing it.  Thunderbike is one of those swing classes.

From the 2003 Rulebook...

All riders participating in Formula USA qualifying or racing must have a valid Formula USA Road Racing license. Riders must carry an Expert Formula USA Road Racing license to qualify for Sportbike, Superbike or Unlimited GP. Riders must have a current Expert or Amateur Formula USA Road Racing license to qualify for Thunderbike competition. Riders must have a current Expert or Amateur CCS or Formula USA Road Racing license to qualify for Team Challenge competition.
