Title: Pocono on MA schedule!!??
Post by: B-MAC on February 07, 2002, 09:08:15 AM
I just checked out the ccs website and beleive it or not, it has been updated!!!!
More importantly it has Pocono listed as an event on the mid atlantic schedule for August 23-25. 8)
Is this a tease, misprint or for real??

BTW- don't get too excited about the new site just yet the contingency section is not yet updated >:(

I know that date is a FUSA series race with a Team Challenge.

Thanks, I didn't put the two together. The good old brain is not functioning that well considering my schedule before Daytona and the fact that my bike is still in pieces and I haven't set up my new trailer yet, but enough of that. I just don't remember seeing that in the original mailer, so I got excited :D

I agree if they had some sprint CCS events in there I would be all set. But I think the Team Challenge will count for some regional points so they list it on the CCS page, don't hold me to that one. Since I'm a newbie with a 750 I can only do the Team Challenge at Pocono which means I get to play pit biatch mechanic for everyone else. ;D

Don't feel bad, I don't think I can race my bike in FUSA because I am a first year expert. I may be wrong on this but from what I've read, the RC can only be run in superbike ???

Sportbike Pete you could run USS depending on modifications to your bike

B-Mac you could run UGP it is open to expert riders
Unlimted Superbike is only open to Pro riders (those that have at least one year of expert expierence)

Well I DO NOT Advise this but I drink one of those slim fast drinks in the morning with a stacker2. Have bottle of water then for lunch another slim fast stacker2 combo. Bottle of water and banana mid day and then light dinner. 1 week 10 lbs. Not very helathy though and you will not get much sleep. And as far as the sprint thing the guy who chimed in before sent me info that they do have other races, I'm gonna look into it. I'm surprised my chip on the shoulder comment did not bring the comments out from that other racing BBS.

OK, I'm drunk 8), so I don't understand the "chip on the shoulder" thing because I can't put two and two together. I tried the slim fast thing and it doesn't work for me, I like solid food too much......DAMN SNACK MACHINE AT WORK

I think the MA schedule is yet to be set in concrete:  they are listing a Sept date for Rausch Creek in addition to the June 1-2 date.  I spoke with Rausch Creek GM's good friend a couple weeks ago who indicated that CCS in June is an impossibility.

On the other side of the coin, Kevin Elliot told me a month ago that they'd know by Feb if/when racing at Rausch was a viable thing....and the June date is listed on the recently published schedule!  

Go figure.

Here guys use this link.  CCS rulebook (click here)  (http://www.ccsracing.com/pdf/02FUSA_RoadRaceRules.pdf) the pages you want are 20 - 24 but 22 and 23 in particular.
Hope this helps they run these classes at all FUSA National races. At Daytona they run all the CCS classes as well, I beleive they are running some (all?) CCS classes at Road America also.

Pocono will feature a Daytona-type schedule with ALL the CCS classes plus ALL the National classes....

The June Rausch date will not happen, but Andy and I are still hoping the September date will.... We will know in about 7-8 weeks I think. ::)

See Y'all at Daytona.
