MOTO-ST endurance series

[251am]

anyone notice you have to be a minimum expert rider to compete? no amateurs/novices.

Thanks for the heads up Gordie, maybe a shot next year then...   


What's all the stink about spec tires and fuel? Doesn't anybody have access to a tire changer or a dyno?!

Yea, that really sucks...     When I saw the sechdule for 07' I though about trying to run the I-O-W-A race with a couple of guys, but then I saw that whole expert only B.S.   They should at least allow novices on the ST class bikes.

Have you ever raced endurance? Let alone at night.
Either step up, and become an expert or get some more track time.

some of my best riding was done on the way home from some bar at night.................

I just wonder if its going to be a true night race and if night time equipment will be needed since Daytona has enough lights to light half the state of Florida.  There really is no need for on bike lights at Daytona, unless they are going to leave us in the dark

Keep it simple.  The rules require it and it's going to have a TV package, right?  It will look cool, and that is important for TV.

You're not supposed to admit to that

Sure, the rules also require a 12x10 number plate on the front, which they are changing due to the headlight.  They are still ammending things, so evidentally its not all set in stone.  I just dont want to cut out the tail section for a stock light, or buy a skinz street solo tail if its not going to be needed, thats all.

I've talked with Roger and Colin. First race is going to be run what you brung, but you need to be close to the rules.
I think you'll be able to get away with a glow stick on the tail.
It's going to be expensive next year. They are talking about all teams having to buy a spec dump can.
Also remember they want you to use radios, not pit boards.

I got ya, thanks Gary.  Are you guys doing it on the Kawi?  We might be doing it on the SV1000.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Nor why I just recieved an e-mail from PIAA and Kawasaki of Canada

[Super Dave]

CCS's ASRA licensed riders...former FUSA.  it is an upgrade from standard CCS expert.  My assumption.
