how many track days a year

And don’t EVER (even accidentally) assert that Sean is somehow shaking the WERA snow globe.

Ask me how I know. I felt like a microbe...

 

Fixed with real world experience.

 

NC Bike is a great fun track... Safety on that one turn by the straight is not as bad as it looks however it would be bad if a bike hopped the air fence which it could.. I think the NO Pit Road is more dangerous than anything. also where would people watch and from where? No barriers.. no walls etc in the pit area. Not good for a spectating Event..

The Triple Crown.... That was the greatest racing experience I ever had by far.. I think I was the oldest racing that weekend for the whole event. It was Better than VintageFest at Barber IMO where I was the youngest..lol.. I appreciate WERA for putting in on and lasting as long as it did...

 

It's amazing how many people will write off the place having never turned a lap there, or even seen it person. The ownership of the track are some great people and willing to do a lot of work on their end to try and make things happen.

I would say, if you've been there, you'd know that you can see quite a bit of the track from the top of the 'hill' that's by the front straight.

There is that huge blacktop part by the front straight that could be converted, adapted, or something to make some kind of compromising solution. But just like anything else, it's give and take. It took N2's involvement to reboot the endurance series. It was a risk they have (and still are) taking, because WERA had to shut it down due to lack of numbers. That's no fault of WERA, but in the same breath, you can't expect a place like NCBIKE to fork out $ to undergo major revision without increasing their customer base first...

I never said any of these ideas were ideal, and it's going to take compromising from all sides to figure out what is actually sustainable.

 

For what it’s worth I didn’t even know what club racing was let alone any of the organizations in my area. I found out about trackdays through a local street riding forum. Once I started doing trackdays I learned about racing and this forum from the vendors, trackdays staff, and pit neighbors. Eventually I did the NRS with Trackdaz and started racing CVMA on and off since 2014.

It was a smooth transition and much more wallet friendly because little by little I was able to get the racing essentials like bodywork, stands, warmers, generator, camping/pit gear, etc WITHOUT sacrificing track time due to upfront costs. I do understand everybody is different but for a former canyon carving street squid like me this is what worked best for me.
