ATTENTION IN THE HADDOCK! - Endurance Race!

[Kurlon]

No slicks for vintage, DOT's. Not sure about rains, probably stick with a good set of DOT's.

Rains are legal, tires just need to be treaded in some form, and not hand siped, do NOT need to be DOT legal. I wasn't sure if they were lifting the slicks rule for the endurance or not. So, I've got this set of rains...

[Doc]

That sounds like a rumor Heath would start...he is not a Pirelli fan, I doubt he would even get on the bike if they were Pirelli's.

Gino on an EX...sacrilege.

Oh really? 160 or 165 rear?

They're actually 170s, I was advised to go with them by Stickboy for a 4.5" rear so the ride height matches slicks/DOTs on that rim. I've run the same setup on a 3.5" rim (GS500E, didn't you get a chance to ride it in the rain one track day too?) with good success.

REALLY

[Kurlon]

I wouldn't have gone with that setup either initially, but that was what the BT rep suggested for my Fizzer's 4.5" rear.

[Doc]

[Kurlon]

I'm short a legal helmet and boots that fit/are safe, and I really shouldn't be spending money that doesn't progress my FZR... bah.

[Doc]

BJ will be talking to people at the track this weekend. Look him up if interested.

I dont know what that means... and I won't be there. can you pm me some info?

Gino on an EX...sacrilege.

So... Looks like Hawk Nation is fielding a team!

Gino and I were going to run with Charlie and BJ on an EX500 but they let us out of our contract, we found a Hawk, a couple more Hawk riders and we are in!

Gino, Chris Watt, John Linn and me. See you at the races!

Doc is working on the something. I have no idea what it is?????????


I cannot confirm or deny if I will be able to run 17's on it?????


This is a great reunion of a Turn 1A crew.
BTW it was great seeing Scottie Ferguson this weekend.\

Doc is "working on" something that will need the once over by the rest of the team lol. If you run 17's on this thing I will be speechless.

I wish Scott was allowed to race but I think John should do nicely and now I won't be the slowest team member (I hope)

[nt650hawk]

Scotts knock on the noggin and family has different plans for him other than racing. Which is jperfectly fine. Maybe he can be part of the team and do some scoring for us. That would be cool.

[csmutty]

Don't forget your fire extinguishers and team scorers!

[nt650hawk]

C, where are the rules for what we need?

[Doc]

I have an extinguisher and Scott would be cool as scorer. Lauren would be cool as well.

7 Endurance Racing Rules
Each season, the USCRA endeavors to run at least one vintage endurance
roadrace. The endurance race requires multiple riders to race
a single motorcycle for a period of more than 1 hour, with 2 hours
being the normal length of the race. Classes for the endurance race
are determined by entries, but normally there are classes for both
large and small displacement machinery. The following rules apply in
addition to those listed in the Roadracing section of this rulebook:
1. No one under 18 on pit lane.
2. No smoking on pit lane.
3. Mark pit area with tape ONLY, do NOT use paint.
4. All crew members must wear long pants, shirts and sturdy shoes.
5. Each team will supply a scorer.
6. Each team will have a fire extinguisher with someone pointing it
at the motorcycle during fueling. Engines MUST be shut off
during fueling.
8. Fueling towers/pressure fill systems prohibits, gravity fueling only.
9. No rider may ride for a period of more then 45 consecutive minutes.
10. When entering the pit all machines must come to a complete
stop. Marshall will signal to continue to pit area. All riders will
ONLY use 1st gear on pit lane from stop box to marked area.
11. No more than one rider on a machine at any time.

Ok, I can't race (no gear) but I can maybe play pit monkey for T1A if needed. I'll even bring a backup extinguisher.

If you need to you are probably the same size as me. I have spare lid and spare suits.

You are in! Your official title will be "Point the extinguisher at the bike when it is fueling guy".
