    26 - finances are currently an issue outside of my control so the tail end of 2017 was pretty rough. I'll be back out there soon, but if I'm gonna do it I'll be doing it right.

    I didn't start my first motorcycle racing season until I was 26-27, so you have plenty of time to do it and have fun. It sure is expensive, but also a lot of fun.

    Good Luck!!!

    I was wondering that too?

    Team is here, there were transponder issues for some people in every session so it could be that simple.

    Only 7 twins? That is kinda sad.

    Reg shows 9, and 1 that isn't showing up on timing I've seen posting on Facebook they are there and ready to go. Transponder problems maybe? Still wish there was more.

    I kinda figured at least a few more Wera guys would have done this too. Looks like that FZ07 has some legs on the back straight.

    Yeah, I was hoping this would be a bigger class.

    Figured you might know being involved with WERA. But you had a dozen or more in the last race at Roebling this year according to the results I just looked at.

    You need all that MA stuff including license, eligible bike (gen 1 SV650 or a full on Gen 2 Superbike is a no go), entry fees, tires, matching shirts for the pit crew, etc. It is not cheap. If you already have an eligible bike it is not be too bad. They may have had more on the grid if they had made the rule change for the early Gen 2 SV650s earlier. Even for the Gen 2 SV 650, I believe you have to make sure a bunch of the parts are on the MA approved list.

    I don't blame them. The grid size is lame as well. I'm surprised it's so small, I think
