[Ken C]

Wouldn't this be fun.

[OreoGaborio]

Do it, Ken. I would, but I'm outta vacation time

Do it, Ken. I would, but I'm outta vacation time

It'd be fun but would be expensive. Ken would have to take Penguin or the USCRA race school again to race

Could you imagine Ken taking the Basic course again.

[Paul_E_D]

I'm taking it... Actually, I just have to do a friday practice and take the test. I don't think I have to sit through the newbie orientation. And Ken, DO IT!

[KB]

Ken invented road racing!

[brady]

hey, he's not that old!

[Rada]

Do it Ken!!!!

[Ken C]

Thanks for the encouragement. If the stars align just right, I just might do it.

[Kurlon]

I like that idea. I had to read the last one four times, $75 bucks!? Ooooh eeee! Reminds me of the 24 hours of LeMONS!

I just realized, I know where there is a 1984 GPZ 1100... if we can revive it in time... It's got a rack of Mikuni flatslides on it in place of the factory EFI, it spent it's last years in service getting prepped as a drag racer. We have most of the parts to convert it back to EFI, but it needs some massive TLC before it's raceable.

Looks like my Hawk is not legal.

[Kurlon]

Looks like my Hawk is not legal.

I'm still waiting for hard confirmation on that btw... initial response made it sound like Period 4 Formula 3 will not be a part of the endurance which eliminates Hawks, FZRs, etc...

It is part of the endurance.

[Kurlon]

It is part of the endurance.

Hence my surprise at being told by the people running said race that it isn't.

Bullshit. It is. It was last year and I have had it confirmed that it is for this year.

They just don't want you there.

[Paul_E_D]

It better be, cause that's what I'm racing!

[Doc]

Mine may not be legal because of some of the mods I have that Bill's bike does not have.

[Paul_E_D]

Just enter it. Nobody's protesting at USCRA one off events. It's about participating mare than winning.

[Kurlon]

Mine may not be legal because of some of the mods I have that Bill's bike does not have.

It's not the mods, other than displacement they're all solidly P4F3 legal, the year was the hangup.

[csmutty]

Oh...don't worry about the FZR. They allowed it last year without any issues. I can't believe that they wouldn't this year.

So I guess reading the rule book pays off, Here is the line pertaining to Formula 3 and the FZR's

You'd honestly probably have better luck trying to find a bike and making your own. That's what I did. Borrowing a friend's EX500.

I don't see how it's any more likely to find a bike from a friend than find a friend with a bike.

Anyways I was just saying I'd participate on a team if people are looking.

[Doc]

You, me and kurlon...

[CTarna]

You, me and kurlon...
