I'm not Sean, but at tracks I'm familiar with, V6 and HWT Twins are a combined race.

Not any longer, we're running it with A Superstock now that more of the older high HP race bikes have been showing up. They didn't mix well with the slower end of HW Twins.

So Mr. RD - when I screw up and put it with HWT you got my back?

I've been tossing around the idea of riding an old GSXR in V6 next year. What are guys doing about wheels. Modifying newer 17" rims or using the stock ones? What about bodywork? Does Sharkskins, AIR Tech or somebody make a full set with the 5qt lower?

[schwantzmobile]

I think Rob was the last holdout on the 18" rims, everybody else runs the 17's.
On body work you can get want you need just about with any you mentioned.
Air tech has "Yosh" lowers that just need the little vents along the bottom glassed in.
Put a little dam at the rear of it and your good to go.
Come on out and play, the people in V6 are all good folk, who ride clean...fast but clean.

It has to be better than the 600 carnage I ran in last year and again this year.

Are the old GSXRs tough to find? What kind of price range can I expect for an 86-88?

I've seen them for $3,000 to $4,500. The 1100 engines are hard to find because the car guys snap them up for Midget sprint cars. $1,500- $2,500 just for a beat engine!
Rules say you can use a 750 frame as late as '89 and put a 1052 (stock 1100 '86-88) engine in it. This is what I did.
"robw122" would be the guy to talk to for more info and maybe a line on one.
I should add that doing the 7/11 approach is the big bucks approach, if you can find an '86-'88 1100 that would save some money. The key is to get the engine, frames and everything else are much eaiser to find.
