applying for new CCS license

[Eric Kelcher]

The two weekend thing is a WERA thing not CCS.

In the south Central, CMRA, as we had been a WERA affliate before I believe we are the only CCS club that has the two race weekend Provisional Amatuer. Not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things but we run a PA race, gives a chance for new racers to go out with riders of similar skill and feel more comfortable for the first weekends. It is not a required race.

I bumped the fonts up.  Let me know what you think.

I like the bigger fonts.

I must say, I'm totally confused. I thought prepping the bike was gong to be the hard thing. It looks like figuring out how to actually get the license is harder.

It's no big deal. Just take a track school, get your cert, send in your $100 for the year and they give you a CCS# and a license # and that's it. Go racing.

Just be smart and wear your t-shirt for the first two weekends.  ;D

It really is important, becuase you don't have a clue what you're doing out there, and you need to give everyone else around you a huge warning.

I didn't have any problems getting my license.  I took a course with Frank Kinsey at Roebling road, got my certificate, then went to the race.  I signed up by showing my certificate, raced that weekend (with my shirt!), and got my license a couple weeks earlier.  Almost too easy :)

What shirt? I thought that was for student racers. I have seen riders take the school and then they get a red shirt for their first race that day.

No one said anything to me during my first race. I just wore my regular leathers. And I did not do my first two weekends in a roll. I skipped a month.  

Ditto, noone ever said anything to me either??

Like Steve said, wearing the shirt is a good idea for as many weekends as you want. I was a product of the West Coast "instant Expert" program, three races without a crash and you got white plates. (we used yellow tape on your back as the sign you were a newbie.)

I have seen every method for new racers, from long probations to "instant expert" and the one that works best is the new racer himself taking his time before getting into the middle something he or she can't handle.

Oh, and keeping Clark away from them helps too... ;D

Kevin,
That was great advice...seeing I will be attending the N.R.S. at Oak Hill in Feb. Only one question....
Who is Clark!

Steve Clark, a.k.a. Tight Squeeze Racing. You don't want to go anywhere near him, as he might take you down with him when (not if) he crashes.  ;D
