in my opinion, it probably takes the right person to start in the middle weight class....I dont know you personally but from what I've read on here you'd probably have a lot of fun with it (I know I did). As far as racing the 929 in that one race, the other thing to consider is the fact that the GTO race on sundays is also probably the most red flagged race at the track....I ran it for two weekends when I was a novice and stopped wasting my money on it. It would be a shame if you came to the track, practiced both days, then had your one race canceled after 4 laps.

The middle weight class is definitely the most challenging, most competitive, and can definitely be the most expensive....but I love it. The lighter bikes (now this part is just from observation as I dont race one) tend to be a lot more "for fun" kind of classes...less power and weight means more technique in corner speed so a lot of guys have a lot of fun on them. They also dont eat tires up like the higher HP bikes do (I go through two sets a weekend, lightweight guys go through a couple sets a year).

But like Dan said....as long as you're having fun thats what matters.
