So, finally through the handbook. One thing I noticed was: Under a Provisional Novice License, a rider may race Sportsman events but not a National Challenge Series event. Does this mean as a provisional novice you can't run an event that is both a Sportsman and National Challenge event? Will end up being July before I can go out if that is the case. Thanks in advance - sorry if this is a stupid question.
Have you roadraced? Even if you haven't, not a big deal. You can do the school and race Saturday and if all is good we will let you race Sunday.
I have, just not with WERA. Have a friend who started with WERA last year and talked me into giving you guys a go - my location (Morgantown, WV) isn't the best for the way the WERA regions are broken up which is why I had not previously run with you - thought this might get me to make some longer journeys and hit more locations (previously just at Mid-Ohio, Beaver, Summit, VIR).
If you have a current race license from another org, you won't be prov novice. Just show you license when applying for WERA and you are good to go
If you've raced before with a real sanctioning body (some track days do mock races which don't count) you're not a PN. I'm guessing you've got a CCS license and you'd be the same level with us as you are with them.
Thanks (you are correct)...all ado about nothing I guess...sorry about that - thanks for the helpful feedback/responses. March can't get here quick enough (this warm winter is like a tease).
Additional question on that.. are you guys going to allow PN to run the Endurance Race @ PIRC? I know of a couple people who got their provisionals waved to race in it. Was just curious if that was going to become somewhat of a standard practice? - I have not technically raced.
Yes if the riders have a good amount of track time under their belts. These Endurances aren't the same as the old school National series but there are still fast riders/teams out there so we are doing it case by case. Just trying to balance being as safe as possible with still getting new people on track.
