Combined Race Questions

I breezed through the CMRA forums for info on the combined endurance races. Never been to that forum and I didn't spend a whole lot of time there. Nothing personal towards either site, one forum is more than enough to kill a lot of my time so I stick with WERA.

There were a couple of good questions asked:

Should endurance teams be concerned with how bikes are safety wired when attending a race hosted by the other organization? I assume both clubs have similar requirements. Just want to make sure taking our bikes through CMRA Tech will be more streamline. That, and I'm not wanting to do any last minute or late night drilling and wiring.

In the event an CMRA endurance team has the same race number as a WERA endurance team, will one of the teams be changing numbers? It was suggested the hosting organizations team(s) have priority.

Also, any team running a number 1 plate may be allowed to keep it.
(this won't be an issue for our team )
So we could potentially see multiple number 1 plates?

If I'm understanding this correctly:
Points will be awarded to CMRA and WERA separately for each of the LW, MW and HW teams.
An endurance team will not gain points in the other organizations points standings unless paying the other organizations entry fees. Although, if wanting to participate in the other organizations endurance points standings, an additional race license with the other organization is not required.

I'm uncertain about awards. Are podium spots given to both organizations teams combined (top three finishers in each class, regardless of which organization they came from, on the podium)? Or is each organization handling their awards separately? Personally I'd like to see WERA's top 3 in each class get podium, CMRA's top 3 in each class get podium, then a single overall winner in each class (WERA and CMRA combined). Let us know when you guys have some things ironed out. Give us an idea what we're shooting for.

I'm not familiar with US National Endurance. It's a separate entity? A club racing organization? Something recently started, and snuck in on us, or has it been around awhile?

 

Thanks!

 

At the CMRA hosted rounds at TWS and Hallet, would a WERA team pay the CMRA $50 per hour entry fee or the $100 per hour WERA fee?

 

CMRA requires brake lever guards on all bikes. Will that requirement be in place for WERA teams at the combined events?

 

Regardless of hosting org, they're installed on my bikes.

 

theres a few different types and they are all pretty much universal. And most of the guys running vintage machines can fabricate them anyway.

 

Hello Endurance racers - just wanted to drop everyone here a note, say Hi, and share some information about the "8 hours of Texas" endurance race next month. We sure hope some of you can make it out to the this event- we have some special things planned for you!

Be careful coming off that banking into T1, on a Superbike, with a noob on an SV ahead.

The sketchiness will get your adrenaline going for sure!
