Endurance Race at Pitt Race full course July 2016

Cool beans.
As soon as anyone knows the rules andclass structure, post it up.

So, if I'm reading right- 7/15 track day for $215, 7/16 WERA regionals and 4 hour, 7/17 WERA nationals

 

That is correct, we're sorting out the track day configuration to accommodate the number of racers expected for the combined weekend. If you haven't ridden it, the full course is a ton of fun. Registration for Friday practice has been opened this afternoon. We have a lot of balls in the air, but it's all coming together very fast and shaping up to be an epic weekend event.

 

I just registered on the N2 site, I see the date available but no class above Int. Also unclear if a N2 membership is required. Are there plans for a separate racer registration?

 

so what are they doing Saturday besides the 4 hour? lotsa practice time?

 

You probably can't register for Advanced unless you have run Advanced with N2 before, or show them an Expert race license - at least that is how NESBA worked.

 

Yeah, but it is well known that "NESBA Sucks"...

Seriously though, I don't mind paying for a track day, but I sure hope there is a race group.

 

don't you WANT N2 to keep the "Advanced" registrants limited to those who aren't going to be way off pace? I'm sure it won't be a problem to register in Advanced if you have an Expert race license.

I don't know Rob real well, but he's a smart and reasonable guy. He's going to make sure things are done right. Sounds like they might even be considering 2 advanced groups or something.

 

Practice is typically until 11, with races starting at 12:00 or 12:30, as is. With a four hour race, I would guess it won't be all that different. Maybe a little more practice, starting the race at 1:00.

 

In! Might even bring someone fast with me.

 

hmmm. Team Velocity Racing.... a reunion race would be awesome! just need a bike guys.

 

Army Of Darkness is in! This is going to be a blast! I can't wait to see some old friends.

I would like some help/clarification on the classes.

From the N2 website I get this description of the classes: Heavyweight – A & B Superbike, A & B Superstock Mediumweight – C Superbike & C Superstock Lightweight.

When I look in the WERA Rulebook - I see that A & B Superbike are unlimited displacement. The A & B Superstock Mediumweights 750's and 1000's with superstock rules. The C Superbike/C Superstock are essentially 600's and 675's.

Is that correct? Am I missing something? Is there no SV Class, or would the SV's run with the 600s?

This brings up other questions - like what are "good" lap times for a 600 superbike vs. a superstock SV on the new course? Also curious about lap times for a big Ducati or 1000 superbike v. 600 superbike v. SV. Is there any data available yet?

Thanks.

Dave

 

Oh. I copied that from the N2 website.

So the classes are:

Heavyweight - A & B Superbike, A & B Superstock

Mediumweight - C Superbike & C Superstock

Lightweight - All machines legal for LW Solo races

Is that correct?

 

Yes you are correct.

If you guys find anything like that as far as typos, questions or suggestions just let me know.

I will start checking this thread regularly. You can also email me at:

As far as questions go about the format for Friday we will have that finalized soon.
We realize that a typical 20 minute Advanced session could create some issues for teams trying to get up to speed so we are trying to figure out a reasonable solution.

Ride safe,
