2016 WERA Schedule

Well, it is close to mine.

Motor build, brakes, rearsets, levers, etc is all the same. I don't think his has Marchesinis though.

 

Not a worry. Brian is the same way I am when it comes to stuff being clean and in order. That's why I like him taking care of my bikes.

 

So it IS different.

And imagine yourself on the track, at speed, battling...wondering if those wheels feel different or if you just THINK it feels different...and then...

Hey squirrel!!!!

 

Haha. Damnit.

 

Any updates on the rest of the schedule?

 

I am eagerly waiting on the NC schedule. From the google calendar, it looks like 3 Grattan rounds so far.

 

You figured out which rounds will be DH in the southest yet Im trying to schedule off work!!

 

I know the schedule is not finished but was curious as to when of you think the first Vintage Event might be? I understand anything can change, just a guess from exeperience would be fine. Thanks

 

Does anyone? ANYONE? think that national events should only be held at major tracks not Tally And Roebling?? I love both tracks but when I think of National Challenge I think of Major Landmark tracks!

 

Road Atlanta - Check
Barber - Check
Mid Ohio - Check
VIR - Check
NOLA - Check

NJMP and Road America are the only ones missing on this side of the country. What tracks are you missing?

 

Man...what happened to the Southeast combined VIR round? I love that place!! May have to race out of region for that one.

 

They don't have a national at vir anymore

 

Road Atlanta
Barber
Mid Ohio
Vir
Nola
Pitt race
Grattan

Then the gnf

Then you've got something special.

Eh it's nice to dream...

 

I'll give you Pitt. Hell no to Grattan. Talladega is clser, cheaper, and you get a better draw. Especially if it rains.

 

I've never been to grattan. I just think for a true national series. It needs to hit all corners of the map.

 

Don't disagree with you at all and we have hashed the issue out here many times.

1. New bike sales need to increase about 20 fold.. Like back to early 2000 numbers. Get the contingency machines fired back up.
2. We have to fill the grids every weekend. That's the only way the series can generate enough revenue to pay for the track rentals.
3. Fans need to come to the track.

 

If *anyone* should not be in favor of a National at Grattan, it's me - given the history of the last National there. But, the National Series should hit the areas that are good pockets for WERA. Picking "the best" tracks is a great idea, just not realistic currently. Put Mid-O, PIRC and Grattan in there - and maybe you get guys from the NC/NE that will travel south to chase the whole series. It's minimal risk IMO, as I stated in other threads.

I don't know enough about Nola, other than some people say it's far. Pick Tally or Roebling instead, whichever is cheaper to rent/gets a better turnout, IMO.

As for #3, I don't think that will ever happen to any significant degree, in any of our near futures.
