So Sean, is WERA going doing VMD?

I am working with the AMA about costs. I will update as soon as I get more info. Hopefully we will be able to work out a more cost effective scenario.

 

I can't even get a e-mail back so piss on them. Big f-in deal they want to give us two 10. certs for Bike bandit and now two free ticket to the museum. How about two tickets into the track that we already pay out the ass to race .AHRMA did it can the ama not afford too?What a joke.

 

I have been working with them all day and received info that your race entry gets you admission for yourself and one more person, there is no pit parking fee and no fee for a pit bike. They are working very hard to make the cost the same. I think they are there now. You pay for your entry and get two weekend passes and should be good to go. They will be updating everything to reflect this.

 

Cool....every little bit will help.

I'm not totally committed yet, but knowing this stuff will help my decision.

 

Should be a better deal than last year. Same cost to race that would have been charged with the same deal (2 passes) plus $20 in bike bandit gift certs, plus two tickets to the museum. They are responding very well to trying to get this right, let me know if there are other issues. I will get them to them and try to resolve.

 

Looks like both my gsxr 750's are legal on displacement and forks but I need to know if there are any wheel restrictions. I run 17's front and rear at 3.5 and 5.5. Any idea who can help answer this question. What about hybrids 1052 motor in 750 frame. According to the rules motor must match model it does not specify size.

Thanks I couldn't seem to get a reply. Now we'll see if they really do this and put it on there site.:up:

 

I am supposed to recieve a phone call from them today. I will update when I hear from them. If there are any other concerns please let me know. They seem to want to listen and do what the racers want, so this is our chance.

 

nice work!

 

I am in the same boat as Tim. I have sent 3 emails asking for clarification on which classes my bikes are legal for and have no response. If ya talk to them please ask what classes these two bikes can run.
1. Rickman framed CB750 with a full super bike motor (750cc) and Nova 5 speed gear box, CR carbs, twin front disk Grimeca brakes and clip-ons.
2. Honda framed CB 750 with a super bike motor (750cc), CR carbs, clip-ons, twin Grimeca brakes and 36mm Honda GL forks

 

I will ask when he calls and I will tell him to make sure he gets to his emails

 

Ok got the skinny on everything. Here is the email I received.

Hi Todd,

Just want to confirm a few things.......
• All Roadrace classes will be for AMA National number 1 plates, including the modern classes. The modern classes will not be eligible for the Grand Champion award.
• If a rider pre enters the event his/her entry fee will include two event hot passes (one for the rider and one for crew/guest) This is the same as it was last year.
• There is no extra fee for paddock parking or pit-bikes
• If a motorhome is your tow vehicle then it will be allowed in the paddock. If your motorhome is separate from your race package then you will be charged a $55/$60 camping fee

I have also listed below the facility rules from Mid Ohio....

I also talked to him about email questions for bikes and classes. The guy that the emails were going to isn't there anymore and he said he has answered all emails so some may have gone to the other guy. Send your questions to the following email and he will get back with you in a timely manner. Kevin has worked hard to set this event up with the racers in mind and I applaud him.

Yea, a bummer, but go ahead and take your knives and those Samurai swords.
