2022 MA Daytona 200

I’ll wait until I see the Attack bikes on track... that’s a mock up pic imo...

remember they marketed the bike for world sale and probably had to meet some specs even for track based bikes maybe?

 

I think it is a flux capacitor - super duper, extra special performance enhancer.

Cheers,

Well I guess this makes the GSXR 750 official. https://www.motoamerica.com/suzuki-...G3XRgK5aeCu0ftYvJEC8NwHyjzP8yn2o-u4is21Em8l8c

 

Too bad they waited to the last second to allow the 750 in.... but I am sure someone will scramble to prepare a 750 for the 200.

 

I dont think the electronics will be ready in time. Team Hammer is working on homologating them and will be the supplier. If anyone will run one would be them.

 

The 750 will have to run the stock ECU right? My understanding is that Moto America is going to require "control ECUs". Am i correct on this assumption? Only mention of the 750 in the rulebook right now is regarding rev limits and weight.

 

No, my understanding is that it will need to run a Spec control ECU

 

To me, this reads as though, currently, the next gen bikes are allowed to us OEM electronics:

"The complete electronics system must be either:

• For 2022:
  • i. National series’ current kit or OEM electronics See art 2.5.9.1
  • ii. Next generation Supersport Control Electronics System. See art 2.5.9.2
• For 2024: i.
  • Next generation Supersport Control Electronics System. See art 2.5.9.2 2.5.9.1

If using a kit or OEM system: (Current Homologations until 2024)..."

 

2.5.9.3 says IF using...

Based on the previous regulation, that suggests the FIM ECU isn't compulsory until 2024

 

The original idea was that the Next Gen bikes have ECU maps that can be torque or rev limited in stock form. If they can't, then the control ECU would be required. Thus MA can control the output of the Next Gen SS bikes directly and immediately. The IF part is for the other SS bikes- R6, etc. that can continue running last year's ECU for 2022-23.

Disclaimer: I haven't read the rulebook since it was first published, I don't ride that class and I don't know if there's been any changes.

 

Looking at riding down for the race and tent camping at the track. Been to Daytona for other motorcycle races but never the 200 and never camped there. Anything to know about the camping situation/setup, etc?

Can you make a class more confusing or stupid ?

 

Get out of my head!

Minutiae out the ying yang.

 

With only one manufacturer making a 600cc bike (the new R6 is race only) what are they supposed to do? Seriously interested in what your suggestion would be.

 

Jim, think outside the box a little and look at the big picture

 

Maybe this could be the move away from street homologation. It doesn’t seem like win on Sunday, sell on Monday is a thing in the US anymore.

If supersports aren’t selling, I don’t see high cc supersport twins or 750 I4s suddenly starting to sell better either because they started racing them in the SuperSport class.

 

What is the Daytona Supersport Time Attack and Daytona Supersport Alternate Main?

 

Maybe a separate qualifying and race for the +110% (or whatever the D200 cutoff is) club?
