What classes can I race

[opie158]

What classes can I race my modified first gen SV 650 in? It has a 5 1/2 inch rear wheel, 01 GSXR 1000 front end, superbike engine with 41mm flatslide carbs, 96hp. Thanks for your help.

You can't race in Supersport.  LW Grand Prix, LW Superbike, GT Lights, Thunderbike and then you can race up classes too against 600s in the middleweight classes.  

Go to http://www.ccsracing.us and you can download a pdf of the 2006 rule book for specifics.

Dave, or anyone else who may know, out of those classes, LW GP, LW Superbike, GT Lights, and Thunderbike, which one is the least crowded?  

[Protein Filled]

I would say LW Superbike, followed by LWGP, Thunderbike and GT lights...

[Super Dave]

It can vary region to region too...

[opie158]

Say were talkin about the Mid Atlantic?

[Super Dave]

Used to be a big lightweight group that way.

Both Edgar and I are from the Midwest region, so I couldn't give you a perfect answer.  But I would probably generally agree with Edgar on which ones are most popular.

Supersport classes are usually the biggest, then it goes down from there.

THANKS!!!

being from the Mid-Atlantic..

Thunderbike and Superbike are usually the heaviest

GT lights and LW GP a little lighter...

VIR and Summit are always pretty full grids for all LW classes. Roebling VERY light and from a previous post from Kevin @ CCS - Carolina is going to be light for ALL entries.

BTW how'd you get 96 HP from an SV?  :o

Got 96 hp from Spears Interprises. He built the motor and has an equation that works! He claims it very reliable also. Well see this season! He has lots of good feed back on his websight!
