No vintage on 2018 schedule?

Is this tentative or are there no more vintage races?

 

I had the same concerns. I contacted Evelyn. Sean told me he'd forward the correspondence but that THERE WILL BE VINTAGE racing.
Quote from Sean "we’re definitely not doing away with Vintage". What WERA Vintage becomes is yet to be determined. It does seem obvious that things would be a lot less critical if we had more Vintage racers filling the grid. I"ve got two newbies I'm bringing to the 350GP/500GP grids.

 

Good, because I plan on running all the rounds this year.

 

I'd heard or read somewhere about a very general breakdown like under 500cc and 500cc and over.....???

I was wondering if something like that was the case, if Middletons RD400 would be running with Jacks stocker Honda 350.....? how would that work?

Pure conjecture on my part here......I've got no dog in this hunt right now.

 

Sounds bogus to me. Now if they want to run 0-500 on the track at one time and 501 to infinity another, I may be ok with that.

 

Suppose the over 500 and under 500 were just two races, with the multiple classes in each race? If there was a formula that could include each racer's primary and bump up class, where those who bump up could be able to race and pay for expenses. Maybe even three vintage race sets that would ensure the ability of all to bump up which would increase WERA income? I've heard of the elimination of trophies as a money saving option as well.

Best bet would be to get everybody who considers themselves vintage racers to become active again???

 

Yeah, that's what I was saying, so....your 4oo 2 stroke and Jacks 350 4 stroke would be same-same with that general classification.

Hey Jack, fire up your startrek transporter so I can travel 800 miles a day instantly, and I'd be back in sir!

Either way it goes, I still plan to attend a couple races in 2018 to spectate and help out anyone who needs it.

Hey, is HMGP coming back in 2018?

 

Yep, I could see some people being caught off guard when a Formula 500 bikes comes by them at twice the speed. I could live without trophies. $25 gas card would work better!

 

F-500 race with the slowest bikes already... gp 350 ....

 

Mid-O gots some Vintage.

 

I agree with the trophy idea. Maybe trophies for gnf, but that's it. I bet those weekend trophies are less than 25 bucks though.

 

Who cares about dust collectors.....just give us a place to race, maybe it's time to ride those high up keep vintage bikes.... V-7 and V-8......

 

I'm submitting my WERA license application as soon as I get my membership number from the AMA. I built a YZF750 for V7HW and will be at Roebling in March.

 

Drop the Regional's, make it a National Series again. Five, six or seven rounds only, spread the dates out, fix Mid-O, keep everything else the same. Loose the trophies except at the finals if that will save some dollars, hand out blue ribbons instead.

 

No ribbons, just kisses from the trophy girl. Walker, you have long hair and purty lips, just sayin.

 

Mongo DANG!! I just started racing and ran two of your events last year in V6 HW. I enjoyed it immensely! I am planning on continuing in V6 and I am in the process of building a V5 bike over the winter. I want to keep racing with WERA and not AHRMA.

Guys pull out your old bikes!!

 

carry on, combine some classes, I'm OK with that

 

I'd rather struggle in a race with other bikes than ride around by myself
