    Rich I was going to ask if Tech (aka Pete) could come around Friday after practice and tech our bikes personally. Sort of a house-call-tech-visit. Think you can gete Pete to do that? :D

    NO NO NO

    This is all wrong!!! WERA needs to go back to the format of 4 lap heat races with longer practices on Saturday.

    And raise the entry fees 50%.

    See!! More racing, more money. Everybody wins!!

    We'll need to recruit some FNG's for tech then.

    I run the solos because I can't get to the first practice session.
    Really no change as I see it.

    I did too, then i figured in the entrance fee, tires, gas.... trust me you feel more like a winner without figuring that stuff in :up:

    at least with pump gas and take offs you can end up in the plus, but I'm not winning either :(

    IMO,

    Solo's will now become trackdays

    Nope. Racers race and while some may use it for track time, when the green drops they still go racing.

    Correct, but why race 100% when the racers REAL race is Sunday for points/payout.

    To me there is no reason to risk my bike/injury for a $250 payout if I win. Sunday you get Contingency and points which is where I put my effort. I always arrive Friday to tech early sat and get in practice and work on my bike in the afternoon. I normally only do the solo's the first 1 or 2 races.

    Not worth the tires and what not to me. Just my opinion.

    I hope it works out for WERA and its racers.

    The vast majority of racers don't earn contingency, they race because they're racers. So for them there is no difference between a Solo or a sprint other than race length.

    Dude I'm pathetically slow and I love the Solo for what they are...a long sprint race. Some people just need to stop whining.

    Okay, so is the opposite true? If you only sign up for and ride in a Saturday Solo are you going to be barred from practicing on Sunday morning?

    Yes. Why would we give you more practice when you're not racing?
