2005 schedule / Info

[H-man]

We may hit Gratten this year if our schedule allows.  We'll see!  

Heather

Only WERA will be racing there in 2005.  You guys are gonna pay for a WERA license, buy a transponder and do the additional wiring (presuming your bike(s) aren't already wired to WERA stds) just to try out a new track once?

Ya gotta share how you guys manage to do such stuff.  That's serious dedication.

I think they have a transponder rental for one event.  Like I said, we'll see.  Our budget will go to CCS first.

You're right.  They do have a transponder rental available.

As an additional consideration though, if Team Stumpy does choose to do more than a couple WERA events, you should keep an eye out for picking up a used transponder.  WERA has recently raised the rental rate (they openly noted they want to get out of the task of renting them).  It may be better to buy a used one.  It can always be sold again when you're done with it.

See you guys at the banquet. 8)

from a Chicago perspective, the schedule looks great.  

Too bad no Putnam dates materialized under the Fasttrax banner. :-[

Looking foward to the '05 SW season!  Glad to see Arroyo Seco made it on there, and even for 2 dates.  Thanks to Kevin & Roger for working to make sure race dates between CCS SW & ASMA didn't conflict for next year.  That was a bit frustrating this year, but happy to see that it worked out for next year.

Oh, and I don't know how the CCS SW staff is going to pull off Sept, with back-to-back weekends.  A twin sprint in Vegas, then a Firebird Main the weekend after.   :o  Hopefully that will change when the schedule firms up a bit.

Can someone explain to me why 6 of the 9 races in GP is either twin sprint or double points and no other region has more than 4. Makes it hard to miss around and still contend!

[Thingy]

I think that you can also race one WERA event without buying a license.  Anybody know for sure?

Ooo, ooo.  I know, I know.

"2. Have a current, valid WERA Competition License or other racing license designated as valid at a particular race. Only WERA Licensed riders will earn points toward an invitation to the Grand National Final. WERA will allow racers with the following current licenses to participate in two WERA event before said racer is required to purchase a WERA membership: CMRA, RACE, WMRRA, OMRRA, CRA, USCRA and AHMRA. Riders who participate in WERA events with another race organization's license ARE NOT EARNING WERA POINTS. Points are only awarded to racers with a current WERA License. Contingency awards are only available to racers with a current WERA license. Endurance team riders must all have valid WERA licenses."  [Chapter 7 - Rider & Crew Requirements - of TFB]

Funny thing is, I'm not sure whether they'd honour a CCS license for 2 of their events, whether the animous is so huge that a CCS license isn't honoured at all or there's no limit to the number of WERA events you may participate while using the CCS license.

2 Autobahn   dates !!  wow !!!

No Putnam ,   THis doesnt surprise me at all, in fact i would have been surprised if there were MC race dates there.

Fasttrax/GL    all Nelson Ledges,  thats surprising.

Midwest  11 weekends and only 1 super long trip  (MAM)   thats nice.

Topeka   only 1 time.    Surprised, but glad.

LP SRD  again,  not good to mix  racers with street guys prior to races.  BFR  are on Mondays,  but  TOpeka, Gingerman, GAteway  are during racers practice days.


Hopefully i can do more days this year.   Or do i save the money and do track days ??  I need a new bike.

[Steviebee]

OH  and   THANKS to CCS  for getting us a Prelim  schedule out EARLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes  "WE"  i hope i mean most of us by we,   understand that this might/will change,  but  THANKS !!!!!

 ;D

[Burt Munro]

Hopefully any changes will only make it better!!

Still hoping that Mid Ohio and Road Atlanta works out for '05.

In case anyone forgot about the problem with 'changes':  Ask the 13 or 15 teams who drove to Road America for the Aug '03 FUSA round.  Only to find out it had been changed months earlier to Topeka!
