Schedule is up here - https://www.wera.com/pdfs/eventschedule/roeblingnat031923.pdf and pre entry is open.
Mongo, has WERA ever done pre-reg paperwork and/or tech on friday evenings after the track day? CCS and LRRS series would do this from 5-7 on fridays. It would help the scramble saturday mornings for those who have 60-90 mins to get wait in line for paperwork, tech, and heated tires for practice group 1.
From my limited experience, they do it sometimes, but not at all events. I'm not sure how they determine that, but I think it's based on how busy/crowded the event is. At big events like at RA and Barber they've done reg and tech Friday evening.
That too. If they gotta travel far and can't make it there until late evening. Is it WERA's practice day on Friday or a track day org?
It would absolutely help and we try to for the consistently large events - however for the normal ones our officials are doing the same thing as most racers, working then traveling to be there Saturday. Couple things on the 60-90 minutes - pre enter, get to registration early if you don't pre enter, get your warmers on your bike when you get up or get to the track (something else that should be pretty early too), then pop them off to run through tech and then put them back on. You'll also be in group one on Saturday about once every 5 rounds as I rotate the groups every event within a region.
i did just notice that it was moved for RRR, thanks. i was pre-reg and was first in line for paperwork and tech. by the time i got my sticker, i had exactly an hour to get the warmers on, bellypan back on, suit up and go out for group 1. worked out for me, but felt like a scramble if i wasnt super early.
stick, i wont be getting there until around noon on friday, is it possible to pay for half a day if there are spots available?
Some assorted things - Roebling Road pre entry for both days ends at midnight tonight (Monday the 13th - and no I don't know what I didn't set the last dozen years events up like this either). New procedures at tech - no more tech forms. Vortex and Bridgestone will have event forms to fill out and those can be turned in to tech or registration if you run their products. Everything else posted so far requires you to sign up online on their sites. We will just as a double check be marking down your bike number and ID number so as always remember to bring your entry form with you. Same old stuff with no belly pan on for tech and bring your helmet but no need to bring all your gear. Not 100% sure yet if we'll have registration in the tech building or outside of the gate. That'll depend on the weather and the registrars tolerance of chilly mornings so we'll sort it out when we get there.
Bikes on track at 8:30am tomorrow. Live timing will be here - https://www.race-monitor.com/Live/Race/128853
For Immediate Release On March 19th in the Open Superstock race at Roebling Road Raceway, there was was an incident on the front straight involving an ambulance and two riders. The ambulance was leaving the track to transport an injured rider from an earlier incident. Due to a miscommunication between the ambulance driver and race officials the ambulance crossed in front of two motorcycles. Both riders did fall but walked away from the crash. WERA is investigating what led to this incident and will be instituting any necessary changes to prevent the same thing from happening in the future.
