Considering racing @ Barber

I have been coaching with STT since 2011 and just looking for a little push in my riding. Read through the new race handbook is there any other info I need to look into? My tail section in a little bit different than stock and just want to make sure I don't need to replace it.
Thanks

Not sure it does make it easy to hold onto while putting the bike on the stand. Figured I could put the vinyl plate over it all if that would make a difference.

 

If you follow the handbook you'll be ready to go but I suggest you read the rulebook.

You're life is about to change....

 

It's going to be a big change from "I'll wait on this pass" to GO! Have a feeling my wallet is gonna have a big change too!

 

in all honesty, the prices are pretty comparable to a track day, especially if you keep it on 2 wheels.

 

There a couple of control riders with a fair amount of race time. Have them give your bike a fake tech'ing. No guarantee it will pass but I bet they get you close at worst.

 

not really

hooking up a transponder doesnt make you burn tires faster....

 

Go for it. You'll have a good time. We'll help here with any questions you have. Just keep asking.

 

Got my license the other day! And stickers those should make me faster right?

 

Congrats

 

Will there be anyone there tuning suspension?

 

That's gonna be my first go at it too Stephen. Look forward to seeing you there man!

 

Awesome! See you there!

 

What a weekend! My first race was the MDW solo 16 I was not sure if I could stay on a bike let alone run a good pace for 16 laps. About halfway through the race my right hand started going numb, I tried loosing my grip but was too late got worse as the race went on but did maintain some feeling. Everything from registration to tech were a breeze. The wera crew is pretty easy to deal with and that made me a lot more calm. Here is a video of the solo and laptimes below.
