I got an email back from Henry DeGouw... He will consider adding the class based on interest level. Sooo if you'd support this class and show up on the grid, send Henry an email!!

Could you say that a little louder???   Im working on sourcing a new engine for my 400,so fingers crossed i can make the grid for 500ss

Anyone know what gearing for Daytona on a SS Fzr400?

I got 2 buddies racing their 500's at daytona. probably GTL, 500ss, maybe lightweight sport bike.


There were 3 500's at homestead but only my buddy raced. not sure what's holding the other guys back from getting some laps in.

Hello to all,


I am new to the forum and since I did not see a new members area, I will post here since this is the topic I am most interested in.  My name is Dave and I live in northern Illinois.  Last year I started racing an early 80's Ducati Pantah 650 with AHRMA.  I did the Road America and Grattan events and had a really great time.  I really want to get more track time but AHRMA has a pretty limited schedule in the midwest.  CCS on the other hand, has a really good midwest schedule, RA, Blackhawk, Autobahn, and Gingerman are all just a couple hours drive for me.  Plus I have done a handful of track days at Blackhawk and it would be nice to actually race there as well.


So my question is this, what kind of class is 500 SS turning into?  How are the grids in the midwest and what kind of bikes are showing up?  After reading the rules, my 650 Pantah should slot right in quite nicely, but earlier posts talk about this being a class taylor made for the cbr500 and other such bikes.  Then there are other posts talking about FZR400's being the big dog.  Would I stick out like a sore thumb or ruffle any feathers with my piece of old iron?  But if you think about it, my bike is really not that antiquated.  Trellis frames and belt drive air cooled two valve ducks can still be found everywhere.


Thanks,
Dave

Assuming you read the rulebook......if it fits in the class legally then run it!!

Show up and race!

I have raced both AHRMA and CCS. CCS is a little different environment, there are the modern classes which are more competitive, however there are many "sportsman" type classes which have weekend warriors similar to the AHRMA paddock.

I say go for it and have fun. Welcome to the fold!

I've got a set of Bridgestone race rubber for an FZR400 with 18" rear I no longer intend to use. Will sell for less than I paid for them..
