wera racer trying ccs

[jigmoore]

h-man: since it looks like this is a one day event, i will wait for the schedule to come out.  thanks, though.

jeff:  i have been running 5 races pretty comfortably each sunday with wera.....which 5 ccs races would you suggest?  do any have purses?  also, thanks for the tech advice, i read the rules and think my number display will be fine, but i will bring some extra numbers in case of duplication.  i run novice #36, do you already know of someone who runs that in ccs (that will likely be at gingerman)?

You probably won't see a schedule if it's not posted now.  You might want to call them to ask.

Assuming you're on a 600 inline 4...
Middleweight Supersport
Middleweight Superbike
Heavyweight Supersport
Heavyweight Superbike
Unlimited GP

Unlimited GP is the only purse paying class in the above list (I think it pays anyway... but I KNOW the SS/SB races don't pay).

Running this schedule will keep you hopping.  You'll have a lot of races that are separated by only 1 race.  Little time for crash repair or tire changes if necessary (and G-man CHEWS tires unless your suspension is perfect for the track).

You will be very competitive on a 600 in the HW and UL classes since the track is so small.  Additionally, the grids are smaller on the HW/UL races.

also, thanks for the tech advice, i read the rules and think my number display will be fine, but i will bring some extra numbers in case of duplication.  i run novice #36, do you already know of someone who runs that in ccs (that will likely be at gingerman)?

If there's someone running 35, CCS may just have you put an X on, or have some variation of 35 (351, 135, etc).  Since it's the last weekend in the MW/GL, they will probably be lenient on this.

Sunny - Geez man!  Do you want to race or just go out there if you feel you can be among the top 5 or so.

My intreptation of the rules (and you can take that however you wish ;)) has your bike eligible for LWSS (as you noted), ULSB, LWGP & Thunderbike.  And of course you could choose to race up in the MWSS and LWSB classes.

Sunny, I'm pretty sure that you can run away from me on my F2.  So why not enter the TB race?  At least you won't be last ;D

Oh yeah, you better start lining up your tow vehicle now :-X;)

H.

Sorry, no offese H.  I race to win.   ;D  If I knew I am entering a class without a chance to win due to bike difference, then I rather spend my money on a trackday to just have fun and not being competitive (race = competition to me).  Of course, I sometime do this (enter a race where my bike is definitely not competitive) to get a tow from faster bikes/riders to learn the faster line or gearing to achieve better average speed around a new track.  

I can't race my bike in ULSB because my bike is a FOUR STROKE 400, LIQUID COOLED, but POST-1992.  For the same reason (Post-1992), I can't race it in TB.  

I can definitely run (not race; it's a joke for me to be in it) in LWGP and watch everyone running away from me quickly (unless most race a standard 400 machine like me, I don't see any machine configuration that didn't have a huge power and/or torque/weight ratio advantage).  Same thing in MWSS and LWSB..........  

I am not complaining nor making excuses, but just making rational decisions upon on facts.  Again, this is because I race to win, not to have fun.  I'll do trackday if I want to have fun!   ;)

     I believe the reason for the lack of competative classes for you on the 400 is due to the lack of riders in CCS on them. CCS has a really full schedule currently during their events and definately doesn't have room to be adding classes, if anything I bet there may be a slight reduction in number of classes for next season? :-/ It's getting to the point where some duplicate and lesser run classes will probably either be combined with other races or be eliminated all together in the near future (just checked with the crystal ball on that 1  ;)).

[H-man]

Oh yeah, you did write 1998 above.  Oh well, gues you're just hosed speed racer.

I'll catch ya around I'm sure.

Will you be at the STT 10/2-3 w/e at Gingerman?

[GSXR RACER MIKE]

Here is a direct link to the schedule for the Gingerman event.

http://www.formulausa.com/shows/pdf/Gingerman%20Oct%20Schedule

You probably didn't see it because it's listed as South Haven, Michigan, not Gingerman. They are scheduled to run 30 minute GT races along with sprints on Sunday so you will have a variety of choices. :)

CCS has unliimited AM classes unlike wera!  I may try to run the wera races at Nashville next year (after moving to whiteplates) just cause it's so close...and see how faster/slower the wera guys are! :)

I am not sure yet, but I am thinking about it.   ;)

[ekraft84]

After reading the rulebook again, I found that my bike can't be competitive in any class.........   :-/
 Anyway, doesn't look like I'll be racing in CCS until the rulebook changes to support SS legal 400.

Um, how about changing the bike before you expect the organization to cater to your vintange needs?

:D

Speaking of, I am thinking of doing the same thing Jig is doing, although with an SV.

The GT races WILL be run at Gingerman.  If you can swing the $70 fee, run the GTU.  They are only 25 minutes, though.

(not the thread jack), but are these the classes I can race the SV in:

GT Lights
Lightweight GP
Lightweight Supersport
Lightweight Superbike
Supertwins/Thunderbike?


And this GTU which is 25 minutes?

Thanks.

I believe you can run an SV in the GTU.  Someone else will have to chime in here.  Edgar runs his SV in Middleweight GP, too.  You'll just be going up against 600s.
