Wouldn't this be fun.
Do it, Ken. I would, but I'm outta vacation time :sad2:
It'd be fun but would be expensive. Ken would have to take Penguin or the USCRA race school again to race:lmao:Quote:

Ken invented road racing!

hey, he's not that old!:mecry:
Do it Ken!!!!
Thanks for the encouragement. If the stars align just right, I just might do it.
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.Quote:

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...Quote:

Mine may not be legal because of some of the mods I have that Bill's bike does not have.
Just enter it. Nobody's protesting at USCRA one off events. It's about participating mare than winning.
It's not the mods, other than displacement they're all solidly P4F3 legal, the year was the hangup.Quote:

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