2018 Vintage Classes

Race 13 is different on Sat and Sunday. I think he meant for Sat, race 13 is F2 and V5 which might still be a stretch considering some of the SVs on the track but not as much as Sr Superbike (600/1000). it would be race 12 on Sunday.

 

Does anyone see an issue moving FSS from Race 7 (LWT SB, V6LW, DSS, FSS) to Race 9 (Sat - Clubman, V4, V3, 500GP)? 250 speeds/times are comparable to V3/V4 bikes. This would help me get 1 more race in as I can't race 3 races on 3 different bikes at the same time with current setup for Race 7.
I have an SV, FZR490, and 250.

Did you get my email regarding V6HW ?

Thanks!

 

In my case this mainly applies to looking for a bump up class for GP500 to have a second race in the day. Before, we went from 350 to 500 and didn’t look any further. Now I’m looking at V3 or maybe FSS, even though my bike isn’t listed. I’m thinking lap speeds might be as close as I can get without being a rolling apex for the modern bike guys.

 

IMO, V5 also slots into Clubman well. Look at GNF Clubman lap times versus V5. Clubman has been faster. A max built Clubman bike will beat a built V5 bike with equal riders at Barber. It would be a close race at Road Atlanta.

 

Exactly.

 

Lookin' for some help here.
Say I go down to Tally (planning on it with a big *maybe*). I run my wee little 250 in 500GP. No problem; life is good. But I'm planning on bringing my modern single which I would normally run in Clubman. However, Clubman runs in the same race as 500 GP. So what would be a the next best class to run my big single?

 

Get it, you know the classes and lap times, I received some bad information on what runs in F2

Just about all of true the F-500 bikes bumped to V3, they are now part of V3, I believe they will be looking for pump up class, for some of them they are looking for it not to conflict with their second race bike.

I will be a candidate for V3 on the RD and Clubman on an RZ but they run together, so V5 on the RZ and it will be a single race on both bikes (when I actually get to race)

 

Bob give me a call. Still working on the tr3 squish scenario.....also info on the 421. Keith Powell 850 570 5015

 

Cool, can you run an RD250 bottom end for the six speed tranny? Can you emulate TD porting? That with some head skimming and carbs should have you motoring them CB's.

 

I seem to remember Mr Mercer's CB, when he made the jump to V-1 spec., was not full on. Something along the line of a three quarter racer, carbs and a cam and maybe a little more. Still reliable and cheap to maintain, I just know he and I we close in performance on my stock RD350 and had some fun close racing on a few occasions.

 

If only there was a piston supplier........
