Endurance 2024. Open discussion..

Buy a big bike

 

For selfish reasons, we like the 24 liter tank. When competing against a 7 time AMA superbike champion or what ever other pro riders on any team we know they burn fuel faster than us, more pit stops and chances for errors in the pits. Our strategy is be perfect in the pits, don't crash and hope for mistakes from the pro teams. We will also need to look at our fuel consumption versus lap times and stops in comparison to the teams ahead of us, slowing down could be faster with one less pit stop.


Some day we hope to get to the level to at least keep the big teams honest. Ready for season 5 and chasing the big teams.

love the idea of multiple boards through the length of the pits and a 6 board followed by fast 5 and 4 boards.

I think the only pro team we've seen in WERA endurance in the last ten years was Warhorse Ducati.

They finished third at Pitt two years ago.

 

You guys rolling heavy with a multi time superbike champion and handing out cookies and cupcakes makes you professional!

 

I started racing in1990, AOD and pro team in the same sentence just doesn’t sound right?? I remember 1996 or 97 ? John gave them their first Suzuki, the whole team had flat black spray paint and proceeded to paint the whole thing like kids!!! John U walked off shaking his head!! Lol

 

Looks like N2 put race dates on their website- all lines up except CMP shows Monday 7/8 (probably a typo) and no Summit date.

 

That sucks, it was our first time there last year, really fun track. Bring a round back to Nelson

 

Agreed. Only one race less than 11 hours from home for me now. Nelson would make two races within 3.5 hours for me.

 

Sorry if it was already covered- PIRC a 6 hour again?

 

And is that schedule 100% final- no others pending?

 

That COMPLETELY SUCKS!

 

Yep...Uncle Mongo and Auntie Evelyne...please add a Nelson endurance round....please????

;-)

 

Very sad about Summit. Summit and PittRace are the only tracks close to me with WERA and the only ones I have raced every season.

 

Is there going to be practice the day before each endurance race? Pitt Race is the only track on the schedule I have ridden. The other rounds are all more than 10 hour drive so really can't afford to learn the tracks a different weekend than the race itself. I don't see track days or anything about practice the day before on the N2 schedule. Will WERA be running practice the day before each round?

 

yes there's a racer practice on Friday thru N2, except for the GNF the practice is thru WERA.
