But i know I have to do something to be able to do this. My question is what all do I need to have completed and by when before I can race in this race.

    Do you have any track time under your belt? Basically have your gear, bike prepped and take school.

    VIR in August will probably not have the riders school, so you will need to complete it before that weekend.

    come to VIR race in march and take that riders school then you will be better for august race check out the role book and wire up your bike some ebc or vesra brake pad and better brake lines and race bodywork you will be ok the frist time out then gat to the suspension ctr will be there at the first round and if you want to spend the 2 gs he can hook you up with that too GOOD LUCK . You will never look at the street the same cause ive been hooked for years and im now 33 . WERA by far the best place to race . Just make sure you dont weave on the straights to break a draft its a 100 dollar fine sorry had to throw that in there

    Yea I have a good amount of time on the track already. Bike is already race plastics and safety wired some but not all the way like I am sure it is required for WERA. I already have race tech suspension parts in the front and a 3 way race shock in the rear. Its already been setup for my weight and how I ride. Cycleczy what do is that race in March so I can go up there and take the school so I can get ready for the Aug race? Thanks again for all the tips guys and girls. What do you mean there is a $100 fine for breaking the draft in the straight?

    the race is march 5-6 the riders school is sat and then you can race some sprints on sunday you just have to wear a riderschool shirt over your leathers > LOL i weaved at summit point so the bike behind me could not draft as well and i got a 100 fine

    yeah last guy who weaved at a race at wsmc in the lwt class was disqualified because not only did he break the draft, he was also weaving/blocking the other riders. you can break the draft, but only head one way, towards the outside i think.

    wow thats crazy I have never heard that before until now. Thanks for the dates for the March class. Where do I go to sign up for it and what price am I looking at for signing up for it too. Also what needs to be wired up? I have the drain bolt, fill plug and oil filter wired already. What else do I need to do to be ready to go by the time I get up there?
