2023 Rulebook

SV65o in V7 as a lightweight twin superbike. Does that also mean 1999 Ducati 900ss air cooled twins can run here. The old vintage class for that bike is V8 middleweight that turned into a shit show when the 130HP R6 bike were let in.

 

Thank you, Mongo. Not a lot of 900SS out there, but they are literally sitting ducs in V8MW. Pun intended.

 

fuel injected 2 valve air cooled 1998-2002/ carbed 2 valve air cooled 1991-1997 900SS

 

hey Mongo, has there ever been the thought of a handicap for heavier riders on small bikes? i remember LRRS brought up the idea with this a few years ago.

something like on the Grom cup, if you're over 200 lbs, then some additional performance mods are allowed? sort of evening the playing field with the riders that eat salads.

 

Looks like I will be back with WERA this year to support the V7 MW and HW…. Schedule coming out around New Years Mongo?

 

It's up on the site

 

LRRS always did weird things out of the norm, one great example was having 3 classes. Novice, Junior, and Expert(?) where almost every other club in the US didn't do the same. Apparently the NHIS circuit was too difficult for some?

 

It's now Novice, Amateur and Expert with a line blurring 'Street' class as well for the TD junkies who can't quite commit yet.

 

That makes no sense IMO

 

it's a way to bring in street riders that want to try it on their street bikes, before going full dedicated race bike, suit, etc.

 

What you just described is a TD rider. So the natural progression would be TD, then provisional novice, then novice. After months or years said novice moves to expert because of the many laps/experience with other higher level racers. And back of the pack experts aren't anything new right? Then if said rider can't hang or doesn't like the expert pace then they move back to novice but with a lot of experience. In the million years of racing WERA has never seen the need for a middle aka Jr. class. And neither has CCS. Just saying

 

we both know there are over confident street riders that want to jump right into racing without a TD under their belt. where i agree with you that it's more of a rookie/parade lap, it does have potential to bring in more business for the series, trackside vendors, tires, etc.

 

Any chance on allowing 1160cc triples in the HWT class? That would open up the newer speed triple

 

If they were Heavy or a Twin I would say go for it… Otherwise no
