    hi all,
    this is gonna be my first race...a bit nervous...
    I was wondering about a few questions:

    Should I register on-line (on the wera maps website) for the race I want to do before showing up at the track?
    Can I buy tires (and have them mounted) at the track? Is there gonna be any vendor?
    What are DOT S tires? I guess my question is what the S stands for...

    I will bring my zx6r, what races can I do?
    From reading the rulebook, my understanding is that I could potentially do:
    A, B, and C Novice both Superbike and Superstock and Clubman novice (7 races)...is that correct?

    Thank you in advance.
    Guido

    Pre entry (open until monday at midnight) will help cut down on stuff to do at the track. There will be tire peeps there. S is a speed rating but we allow slicks in all classes so not a big issues. Talk to the tire guy(s) about what's best for you.

    Start in C (600) classes, then ride up to B (750), and A (1000) and F1 - the 600 isn't legal for Clubman but you're still at 7 classes possible.

    One more question, do I get the free transponder as provisional novice?

    What modifications have been done to the bike? (This will determine if you can run Superstock or not). Normal suspension upgrades (shock, fork internals), and exhaust mods are all still Superstock.

    - racetech shock
    - racetech forks internals
    - exhaust
    - brake lines
    that's pretty much all I have done. Engine, cooling sys, etc.. are all stock.
