I mean in the future.

Like karl said, this will hurt racers more than it will the factory.

I hope the sanctioning body backs away from their "tough guy" stance due to pressue from the field and not due to Yamah caving in.

The discussion about requesting a change has been running on the local racing board for a few days now, and some people are talking about petitions, letters, etc..Truth is that only 6 Yahamas were on the track in Superbike last year; two in the top 10 and one of the others was a R6. Half the field were on Suzuki, who have also apparently withdrawn support. I have my doubts that Suzuki will get the same treatment that Yamaha did.

That's him! I've known him for a number of years, rode down to the Gap with him last year too!

Well I know you're not asking me but I'm answering anyways. :lmao:

I plan on running one endurance race in a regional club type series and possibly a "femmes" race at the end of next year to get me into the feel of it.

Nice, how long is the endurance race?

I might be doing the 8 Hours of Daytona in October, assuming it's on the calendar & everything falls into place.

CrazyKell 12-27-2009 08:30 PM

This series runs 2 endurance race weekends. The race itself is with 2 riders and is 3 hours in length and a le mons start (or is it lemans? :scratch:). I've never raced before so I thought it'd be an interesting way to jump in feet first!

Funny thing is that the SOAR Series endurance races were successful enough that the RACE Series is running one this year too.

Just have to bring that crap into a racing discussion, huh?

The regional racing season runs from April through the end of September. Any other ways you want to make yourself look stupid?
