Hey guys,

Has any one heard anything about the Daytona ROC schedule yet? I spoke to Eric last month but have not been able to get through this week. I am a little concerned because the last time that I spoke to him, he mentioned that they were on the fence about running ULTB at Daytona. This would be very disappointing as many of us have been looking forward to racing for the national title. I would definitely like to know in advance so that I can make all of the arrangements to attend.

I called the CCS office yesterday. I guess Eric's on vacation and someone else quit. So they're kinda short staffed at the moment. Havent heard anything about ULTB at Daytona. Hoping they come out with the schedule soon though!

Miguel,
Did you guys get the GPS to work at PBIR?

Yes. Dom and Nathaniel from Pro Track Guides provided us with the speed data and I forwarded it to Eric last week. I was clocked at 97.6 at PBIR. The 250's would definitely achieve speeds of over 100MPH with longer gearing. They were under the impression that the 250 was not capable of running over 85MPH. He mentioned that they would consider running the class at Daytona if we were able to provide accurate data showing that the 250 can get closer to 100MPH.

It sure would be nice to know, since we already have hotel reservations made.  Would hate to have Jerry make the trip with Kollin and not be able to race in his usual class!  8)

I talked with Kevin at Blackhawk Farms this weekend, he will have news, good or bad, soon. The problem is with time at this event. ARMA, AMA Pro Am and CCS are running in a 4 day time slot. Our class never got figured into that schedule.  Also Blackhawk Farms has a 2400 foot straight, I got my ninja up to 97 MPH ( gps )  repeatedly so I think properly geared 110 mph is feasable.

Hopefully we're allowed our due time on the big banking....if not, then shame on you, CCS, for at least not letting it be known that there would be no ULTB ROC race. I know there's a couple of us that we're excited about this from the beginning of the season.

Perhaps a "show of hands" so Eric will know how many ULTB folks across the country would be down for Daytona for sure?  Count 1 for Papa Kozik!  :biggrin:

Our fate lies in the hands of AHRMA, they are trying to schedule our class in with one of theres. Thank you to them for giving us the consideration!! It makes more sense to run with these "like speed" bikes than with the larger ones in CCS, I think if we ran with the Light Weights it would shorten our races by a lap at least !
If they schedule us in I will be there.
