I need info on starting next year!?!?!

I'm sure you guys can help me out on this,
Next year I plan on racing. Joe a former wera worker said that i should take my test down in west Virginia cause they have a full track day, but I would like to try on nelson ledges. Or somewhere close near northwestern PA,

I would like to know When, where, avg cost ect. for starting next year.
if you can help a beginner out hook me up!:up:

 

plan on spending at least a g a race weekend not including your bike

 

I believe everytime WERA is at Nelson Ledges in 2007 (except for the national weekend 9/7-9), they are planning to have a rider school. If you already have track day experience, that should work for you. :up:
5/5
7/7
8/18

 

wow! thats it? damn i thought it was gonna be around 2 to 3 grand, thanks man

 

yeah man the only exsperience i have is motocross, never road on a tack day

 

if you run a 600 and enter every class possible with new tires maybe. that doesn't include truck trailer food and umbrella girls

 

wow tomastopher, you remind me allot of my uncle haha, but yeah i got a trailer and haha the umbrella girls, i got enough to go around the whole track lol

 

can i borrow a couple?

 

It can be done for less than $1000 a weekend.

 

:up: the umbrella girls is where I spent all my money last year. I didn't place worth a crap but I had a hot chick to keep me cool and hold my rear stand and umbrella.

 

what kind do you want? i got the tall ones, short ones, skinny ones, no fat ones tho so if you want that sorry but dont carry them haha

 

thanks dtalbott

 

Might wanna try a track day first...these WERA boys ain't no joke.

 

lucky bastard. out here it costs alittle more

 

'ill take two tall ones on a trial basis and if i like them i'll place an order for two of each

 

You just have to pick and choose. To spend less, pick a bike that doesn't eat tires. Of course, you can spend as much as you want to spend.

I wonder how many people have thought about racing, been told to budget a grand a weekend, thought, "Jeebers, that's like four trackdays," and never tried racing.

 

marcmcm, yeah i kno but, i think i can show better with racen them guys, i dont like racin with guys that suck! i can handle them

 

dtalbott, yeah man i know about the tires, but i wouldnt mind racin a cbr 600 or just nething in the 600 class...
yeah i kno them type of guys to, my brothers one of them. but im possitive im pritty committed to sportbikes... plus my uncle has raced for years, hes gonna help me out!

 

not trying to put any one off with fees and two sets of tires that's what i averaged last season out here. on the other side though my team mates dad raced an sv on a single set of mich pilot powers for the whole season two to three races per outing and he placed 1st or 2nd in most of his races.

 

How many weekends are you planning to race?
