Title: AM LW
Post by: aflaim on March 14, 2007, 05:36:45 PM
I'm looking to preregister for a few races and was wondering in what classes a stock (motor) SV would be the most competitive.
Thanks

Lightweight Supersport, Lightweight Superbike for a start.

Your chassis set up will make you the most competitive.  That's more of a time, knowledge, and then money issue.

none of em if your slow...  :ahhh:

first year racing?  SS, SB, GP, GT...   A little extra motor wont make a big difference... get some help with setup, take a school or 3.  Should be competitve enough for any LW class.  

good luck!!  :thumb:

and almost on cue here there's SD beating me to the post!   :biggrin:

don't forget T-bikes and supertwins (and LW F-40  if you're an old fart).   Heck, my first twinsprint at RA I ran in 11 classes.  The more seat time the better.

Thanks for the input guys.


*yes, this will be my first full season..did the last 2 race weekends in 06.
*Bike set up should be good
*I've been schooled
*just need to learn the tracks..I've only been to BHF
*I am a young fart thank you..LWF40 here I come.
*as far as being slow...well,  need some work on my right wrist...seems to be arthritic..won't bend to much!

what's the difference between GTights and SS
