Race School Question

I am looking to start racing in 2014, and have two questions regarding race schools. I took the California Superbike Level 1&2 school last August. The excerpt from the rule book doesn't specify which school meets the criteria. CSS offers the level 1&2, 3&4, and Code Race School. Is the level 1&2 school sufficient provided I take the classroom part of the WERA school?

The second question: Is there a schedule of WERA race schools to take the classroom part of the school (or the whole school depending on cost and scheduling)?

"Successfully completing a WERA approved rider’s school. WERA recognizes the following motorcycle ROADRACING schools as the requirement for obtaining a Provisional Novice License: WERA New Riders’ School, Jason Pridmores STAR School, Fast Track Riders school, Ed Bargy’s Rider School, Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School, Corner Speed, Team Chicago School, F.A.S.T. (Canadian), CLASS, Team Hammer Advanced Riders’ School, Track Riders, MARRC, Freddie Spencer, Viking Race School, California Superbike (must take the classroom part of WERA’s school), RPM Track School, Ty Howards Racing School 35, Sportbike Track Time Pro School., Champion Sportbike Club, Wizard Racing School, & Penguin School. The length of time between taking the riders’ school and racing must not exceed twelve (12) months. If the school you have taken or wish to take is not listed call the WERA office to see if it has been approved since the printing of the rulebook or if it meets WERA requirments."




Thanks, John

 

Without answering either question directly, easy answer: the 2014 schedule is up. Find a date with the "-rs". Attend the school.

Thanks for all the replies.

Is the race school usually done on Saturday or Sunday in between the other practice and race sessions? Or is it done on the Friday before? The sample schedule I looked at paints a good picture of the weekend, and I guess assumes you've gotten the school completed already. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0E6M06kN3YOU2pqaW85czJyZ0k/edit

Do most people do the race school and their first race in the same weekend, or should I plan on splitting it up over two weekends?

 

I'm trying to see one that has the -rs but don't see that.

Looking at the March round in Roebling, Race School is listed during Saturday practice, but not sure if that fully means it's has Race School for that day. Sounds probable, or even likely, but on these matters, I like to be sure.

i'd like to do the school also in March, it just seems it's the only one without school. Tally won't work for me in Feb.

 

Thanks! I wish they had the school as I was willing to drive down from OH. I live just outside Cincinnati.

 

wouldn't either of these be closer for you?

Well, I guess I was a bit late on that one.

 

Yes, definitely closer. But would like to start riding in the South while it is still cold up here. My Super Moto and Mini league starts around mid April up here as well. Would like to get my license and some riding in before the North Central opens up.

 

just an FYI, Ed Bargy has just scheduled a race school at Tally for Sat. Feb. 15, the weekend prior to the Tally race weekend. edbargyracing.com for more info.

 

And if I'm not mistaken, and forgive me if I am, I think the Bargy school counts as one of the two weekends needed to get out of your provisional shirt and into the novice ranks.

 

you are not mistaken, it indeed does count as your first weekend.

 

I always thought it'd be a great idea to have a RS at the opening National round. I think I had three of my buddies come with us to Roebling last year. You guys were more than helpful, thanks.

BTW The guy who posted above you will likely be rolling to Roebling with us this year. lol:up:
