Anyone race minis?

Looking to maybe enter my 'priller RS50 in the mini class (Superbike 50) at Summit Point Apr 2 & 3. Gotta do some safety wiring to get the bike done but it's pretty much ready to go. I've never done a race weekend on anything so I figure it's a good beginner's class. I do have a few questions for anyone but specifically for people that know about Minis.

1. How early should I get to the track? Friday night too early?
2. Where do I go once through the gate - find a pit area or go to registration?
3. Are pit areas assigned? - How do I pick where to pit? - How much space should I use?
4. I've heard some schools have a minimum displacement. Can I use a mini in the rider school?
5. How do I enter the rider school? Just tell them when I register? Should I show up to the school with my bike and leathers on or is it a sit down meeting?
6. I see there's a Mini race on Saturday before the rider school mock race. Will I be able to enter the mini race if I'm in the rider school or will I have to wait until Sunday?

I think that's about it. I'm enjoying reading you guys' posts about what to bring. Won't I look silly if I show up with my bike stuffed in the back of my hatchback? Thanks in advance for any advice and I look forward to seeing you guys at the track!

 

Depends on the track, most are open til 10pm on Friday night. I have no experience w/ Summit. Pit space is first come first served. You need enough room for an EZ up (10x10 or 12x12) & stuff. At some tracks you can park directly behind your pit area, others you have to take it over to the lot. I'm not sure there is a school for minis, but I do know the license is cheaper. Hopefully someone w/ Summit specific knowledge will be along to help you there. Good luck & have fun. I ran my mini at Tally last month for shits and giggles. Would be a lot more fun if there were a bunch of us out there.
