Good news is the OP is down for track days for a season before wanting to grid up. Just his way of doing things. In no rush. Gonna enjoy it all
Picked up a 03 R6. I’ll be getting it ready for my first TD coming in Oct. won’t be long I’ll be hitting u up about getting my race license Thanks mates Jmack
Great choice of a ride. Have fun, if you need to ask questions. Most control riders are more than helpful to try to make you a faster AND safer rider out there.
limit your initial expenses best you can until you are sure u want to proceed. i would guess that the percentage of people that do one or a handful of trackdays and then quit or taper off greatly is significant. life changes, priorities change, reality does not always meet expectations.
Your flaw in this is thinking I would have a problem switching to whatever new class structure there was or racing orgs altogether.
uhh... "drop this class for the good of the sport and I'll just go spend my money with another org" And Sean is the one with flawed thinking???
Impossible. The immense requirements and the high level of prep required mandates that no one is able to race.
If cutting a class that I choose to race in benefits the org as a whole, yes. Cut it. If that org no longer provides racing in the classes that I want to race in, yes, I'll go race elsewhere. As I've said before. Racer's gonna race.
So since my titanium shovel is indeed, sharp forever, I figured I might as well discuss something I thought WERA did was awesome and flopped because of the racers themselves. And that's the Triple Crown. Of course this board is filled with prior racers, probably what, less than 50% of the active users still grid up? Everyone talked it up like it was going to be the next big thing. Going off the replies on here alone, you would have thought there was going to be a cut off because there was going to be too many entries. Nope. I want to say the first one-off one was at PittRace in...2017? Then I think 2018 there was the 3 rounds, right? There might have been 3 in 2017 as well. Either way, enough rounds at different race tracks that made it feasible for most of us to go to at least one of them. THAT was a drastic change that was done in an effort to get something going. And it didn't take off, at no fault to WERA. Dunno what to say on that, I was able to make one round, which is more than what most on here can say.
