Oh, no you di'ant...

They are 2 different animals...better is subjective.

We should probably just lock this thread now before we wind up in an all-out posting war between pro-CCS people and pro-WERA people.

Honestly, the rules are very similar, the people are very similar.  

I raced WERA for 4 years before racing CCS.  Honestly took me about 10 minutes to adapt to the changes.  People are essentially the same mentality (there to have a great time).

The only big difference is that the classes are named differently, safety wire rules, and the way points are accumulated and awarded.  Other than that, it's simple.

Trying to create a who's better scenario is like arguing Budhism is better than Christianity, or Dunlop is better than Michelin.  To each their own.  I say run both org's and have a great time.

i am really interested in hearing the differences...

so far hear say tells me CCS is a bit safer, but wera is more of a family type atmosphere...

C'mon...i want pros and cons...

safer? I wouldn't think there really is a difference from the safety factor... Also, lots of people here think of the CCS family like an extended family, so I don't think that argument would apply.

I think that selecting the org. that you choose to race with has a lot to do with what area of the country you are at. In the midwest, there wasn't a lot of WERA sanctioned events, so most people would run the CCS or CRA events.

Now if you live in Atlanta, it may be the other way around.

i always figured they were kind of the same...what about price wise and contingency wise...still both pretty much the same?

[Hyperdyne_Racing]

Here are some simple one's:

CCS runs more AMA tracks
WERA has a Formula 1 class
CCS has more Purse paying races
WERA is more stringent on tech
BOTH allow novices to run 1000cc machines
WERA is more Vintage friendly as they have their own series.
CCS reaches deeper into the great plains than WERA

Basically you will have to see which organization provides more opportunities to race based upon your location and schedule.  Hey, we all love motorcycle racing so life is good.

 ;D

Ya' know, you may want to post the question on the WERA board at www.wera.com

However, you may receive some more.....  colorful  .... reponses.

 :)

BTW  - I don't know the differences in the contingencies, you may want to check out both sites.  The one for CCS is www.ccsracing.com.
