47th Annual WERA Grand National Finals - 2019

Letters hit the mail this morning, delays due to personal stuff and west coast races but Emily worked her ass off and got them all done an in the mail.

Schedule will be on the main site later today and pre entry will open shortly after that. Same layout as last year for classes and times. Worked pretty well other than weather Friday so no need to change things.

Fees have gone up slightly as expenses have gone up too, not at the office yet so I'll double check to make sure I have them correct and get them posted as well along with the information for non WERA racers who want to pre enter the AMA Road Race Grand Championship classes. Same setup as usual basically, if you've never run an event we've put on then email me and I'll get you an ID number so you can pre enter. I need your address, bike number and AMA number. You'll need to have a current roadrace license to show registration. If you have run with us you should already be in the system but I'll probably have to update the expiration date so email me about that too.

Looking forward to a fantastic event on the new pavement so we hope to have a great turnout and fun times - especially the Halloween party being put on by Stickboy Racing (okay, Honey is doing it all).

 

Schedule is up!

Must have only exported one page. Gimme a sec.

 

Done.

 

Okay the Sportsman/Vintage and the National Challenge Series events are open.

Pricing will be as follows - $115 for the first class and then $100 for each additional. This is the same for all three different series/events so it'll start over at $115 for Nationals and AMA RRGC. Pratice Thursday morning is $80. Endurance is whatever the normal 4 hour costs and can be done via the N2 website.

AMA Road Race Grand Championship info is here - http://www.wera.com/schedule/gnf.asp?x=1098 Pre entry for it will open next Tuesday at noon or as close to noon as I remember to do it. A lot will depend on when I get home from Nelson on Monday

FWIW - Kayla Yaakov already kicked all your asses getting pre entered before I event got the above post done

Okay it was Dave but he's fast too

 

Okay people - seems as if some are confused based on facetubes - the GNF is NOT a double header. Each class in each series runs once over the weekend. Look at the schedule. If the class uses a letter it is the Sportsman class. A number is a National Challenge class. A number with AMA in front of it is an AMA RRGC class. If the class name is exactly the same in each series then it will have after it Sportsman or National and the AMA classes have AMA in front of the name. The date I had to choose for the event (series) as a whole has NOTHING to do with which day the classes in that event (series) run. The schedule is the order of the classes and shows which day each class runs, pre entry is NOT a schedule and has nothing to do with which day any given class runs.

 

AMA Pre entry opens in about 3 minutes....

 

You got third sorry

Kayla Yaakov (really Dave) 1st, Doug Royce got second. Very very close race though!

 

For WERA classes no reciprocity with anyone. This is the GNF. We also don't do reciprocity with MotoAmerica at any event (just as they won't let you race on just a WERA license). For the AMA classes any current license works.
