Confused... Need some help

I was planning on running grattan this weekend up in Michigan, but weather looks like crap...

Looked at the wera schedule and wanted to get my license anyway, so thought I could swing by Nelson...

SO...

I haven't signed up or paid for wera and I found the form online, but don't think I can get it signed and turned in by Saturday.. Can I bring it there?

How much is the racer School?

I can't get on MAPS because I don't have a wera ID.. So how since its so close to the event am I screwed? I can't race on sunday, so can I wait to do gingerman or grattan later and use that as my race weekend?

I just want to go and see what wera is all about and take the school and mock race...

Sorry for the noob ?'s

 

racer school is 100.

membership fees for the year are 110?

trasnponder rental is 60 unless you have one already - although i am not 100% that you need this for the rs.

you can wait til gingerman/grattan for your first race if you want, doesn't matter.

i'm fairly certain you can register for wera membership at the track. i seem to remember some people doing that last time i was at registration. seemed like a lot of things with wera you could just show up and get taken care of without a lot of hassle the week/month prior such as the case sometimes with securing a trackday spot.

redkow97 is going too, as well as sjc and myself. hope to see you there

 

Do it dubguy!!!!

 

Sweet thanks!! I'm going to try and make it happen. :up:

NICE!! Easy Peasy!!

I'm working on it.. If my buddy Gene gets his bike together I'll be in.. If not, I'm not sure I want to go alone... I'll find someone!

 

ALSO..... Can I get number 330 by any chance? I'm novice riding a 600...

Thanks

 

i dont think it's gonna happen... there are a lot of 330's and a lot are within the area.

Do it dude, even if Gene can't go, just do it. You will regret it if you dont. Grattan is out 100% we both know that, so just roll up to Nelson!!!!

 

Nelson's area code is 330 btw.

 

yes i know that.

 

They gave me 330!!! :up:

 

Last Question...

I just ordered my yellow number plates from Kruzel, but they won't be here in time for race school. Can I have expert plates and NOT my number for the school?

Also, how much track time do I actually get the 2 sessions we go out on the track? Is it a normal trackday type session, or is it like a parade around the track learning things here and there?

Thanks!

If I can't have my white plates and wrong numbers can I just use duct tape or something?

 

we had the opportunity for three sessions but the last got rained out.

first session was a "this is the track, there are the corner stations" - similar to a novice trackday but a higher pace

second session was a pretty much a go for it session

third session would have been the same but ours got rained out.

i can't comment on the number plates thing, however the gut feeling after reading the rulebook when i started was expert plates would not be acceptable. use some duct tape. just my inclination though, so take it for what it's worth.

edit: if you're just doing the race school, i dont think you'll need to even do the numbers/plates thing yet until you tech for races (you won't go through tech tomorrow). there were guys that didn't have any numbers out for my race school and one even still had some stuff needing wired and kickstand removed. so i guess leave it as is but bring the duct tape...

 

I have a decent sized piece of yellow vinyl left over from making my number plates.

Definitely not enough for anything fancy, but enough to get you a front plate...

PM me on ORDN.

 

in a pinch, i've seen yellow duct tape used.
