18-19 April CMP

[Solo]

Twin sprints means the same races both days

Ok.

So, I signed up for GTO, F-40 and HW Supersport.
Looking at the CMP schedule, from what I've learned I will race:

Saturday:
GTO
F-40 race one
HW Supersport race one

Sunday:
HW Supersport race two
F-40 race two

Cost for the races: $80+$55+$55
Practice: $100
Total: $290

Do I have it right?

[LongDogRacing]

nope, try again.

it looks like you have a total of FIVE races.

that means:  80+55+55+55+55 = $300 total

there is no fee for CCS practice rounds on saturday and sunday.  it is included in your entry fee.

if you want to practice on friday with Cornerspeed = $150  (www.cornerspeed.net)

hope that helps!

Hmmm....

I'm reading the 05Jan09 CCS flyer, it states:
"Fees: Pre-entry fees are $80.00 for the first CCS class entered and $55.00 for each additional class entered."
That reads as if the cost is by class and not by race.
Next:
"Practice pre-entry is $100.00 for those events with a ASRA/CCS practice before the event."

And, the racing application has a cost block associated with practice.
Well, in either scenario the cost is similar but the perception of how those costs are tallied is very different.

Man, In Japan, I spent a lot of time figuring out their MFJ rulebook, I thought a return to the states meant I'd at least be able to understand the rules in english!

Oh, appreciate the offer but I'll figure out which way the track runs on Saturday morning and try and put the rest together during the GTO race

Does anyone know if they have fixed the terrbile power problems at CMP?

[Rick Johnson 29]

Justin is right.You have to pay for each race on Sat. and pay to run the
same race on Sunday.So $300 is correct.CCS only charges $100 for
practice when they host it the day before the races.Cornerspeed is hosting
it on Friday so it's $50 more.I'll be running GTO also.See ya there.

Thanks guys.

So, I'm looking at safety wire requirements and I see the standard oil drain, plug, filter ect...  Didn't see anything about calipers or front and rear axle bolts.
I'm used to and will still run safety wire on the rear axle and all caliper bolts but hopefully I can stay away from the dreaded front axle, 5 bolt safety wire setup.  Am I right?

anyone have a good idea of other fees associated w/ CMP?  that is, camping, entry, power, etc.?

my wife is handling the budgeting this year, so i've got to tell her what to expect for the weekend...

gone are my days of spend spend spend! :)

OK, they have put a bunch of 30 amp power up in the pits so that people can run their RV's off of them. I will check to see what they are charging. Last I heard it would be no more than anywhere else in the SE, probably less. I told them to make sure it was less than it cost to run a generator for the weekend.

If you rent a garage, you can run your trailer off of it. They all have power. I run mine off of them all the time.

There is a trackday Sat/Sun the weekend before the race. If you decide to come let me know so I can make arrangements for you to leave your trailers if you want. That way you won't have to drag them back and forth.

The track is all pavement, no concrete. The patches are a darker color, but they don't cause any troubles. I ride across them all the time. Grip is good, even on the scary looking patch on the triple. You can ride right across it.

I'll be there the weekend before the race, and will have Josh there to help out the weekend of the race. We will be in garage 24.

Did they mill off the hump/bump in the kink?

[stickboy274]

That's not a hump, that's a spot of character. No really for those that don't know. The track has a couple of configurations. The short course comes in at the fast kink. If you try to cut the corner and go over that part of the pavement, it can get exiting. My bikes have never handled it very well. If you put your knee over the other pavement, and your tires right on the edge of it, you can get through there just fine.

If you have your suspension set up for long travel I guess you could go over it.

[bel-biv]

i assume that april's race is not on the short course - so that the bump is a non-issue
yes?
