I'm not racing and will never race, unless I win the lottery. Too expensive. Riding tracks with buds is plenty for me. We still "race" during track days.

and i didnt assume either of u meant a full season, just a few races here and there. racing a full season is buttfucking expensive, but one or two races isnt that bad, and worth the experience...and also addicting

I can't say what i get out of the sponsorship (it's in the contract). I don't think they'll pull it, there's other dudes on the local forum that got sponsored too and they're no way near as fast as me nor do they race.

whats your series gonna be like? how many races, what tracks, etc. rules? novice class, so probably kinda strict...guessing nothin past a pc/pipe, clutch and gearing changes? stock internals, stock head? spec tires or whatever u want? too bad you're so far, i'd roll to every race. checking split times, seeing where you're better than other riders, where they're better than you, where you're losing time, all that shit. i fucking love racing. period.

It's a part of the CCS I think, which means if you want to you can also go to some other tracks and get points for CCS in addition to the ones you got from Loudon. Not sure about all of that though. There are various classes I can run in, because you want to bump up to amateur fairly soon I think and you need at least 10 races and a good index to do that. At Loudon bigger/faster bikes don't have that much of an advantage because the track is so tight and technical. For example my buddy ran his 600 in the heavyweight superbike class and took a podium I think. Therefore when I get started I will just take a lot of races to get experience. There is supersport (pretty restricted), superbike (less) and then unlimited. There are also weight/displacement classes obviously. I wish you lived closer too haha... a pit buddy is an invaluable resource. I don't need someone doing split times until I start to get fast though... I'm friggin' slow now. Typically people run several races a weekend, like 3 or 4. I think there are 8 race weekends per season roughly.
