Whats the dead line for signing up for the SS race? Pretty sure I can make it but won't know for a couple more days.
Thanks,
JP

As Bart said, you will have time to make use of the warmers for both the practice session, and the race itself.
You can sign up the day of, at the track, but be sure to get there early enough to get the paperwork filled out, unload your bike, and be ready for Tech, prior to the classroom session. The Superstreet bikes will be going thru tech inspection immediately following the classroom session, so there will not be time to unload and prep your bike.

I can sign up online also right? (obviously not at the last second). Can I also download any paper work and have it already filled out?Originally Posted by Throttleroller277
.
Your grid position is determined by when you registered, so if you want to start up front, register early. If you want to start in the back, wait until the day of. Last year, we couldn't do the additional paperwork prior to arriving at the track so I would assume that is the same this year.

While practicing launches, do we turn around on the hot pit lane or somewhere, or do we do a full lap while the other riders launch.
Unless they are changing something, after the launch you will go around the track at a cool-down lap pace. You typically never go the wrong way on a track, on the track entrance, or the track exit.Originally Posted by jgixxer1

Since most of us don't have tire warmers, SS riders will actually need to use these laps to get a little heat in the tires.Originally Posted by spideyrdr

Ahh, Bartman, thanks for the laughs!! I do miss your sense of humor and can't wait to give you some hell this weekend at PPIR.

Soooooo, I may or may not be doing Superstreet this Saturday. I'll be out there on Friday for the lapping day. So I was wondering if I could get my bike through tech on Friday (if Moham is still doing tech on Friday) and not have to worry about it on Saturday?

Superstreet has its own tech after the classroom session, so relax young one.
Must do it meow!! :lol: Thanks Bart.Originally Posted by Bartman

I'm registered for the Super Street race this weekend and was wondering if they let the Super Streeters loose during the Saturday morning practices. Unless I overlooked something, the bike will pass regular MRA tech. I know there's some track time with the instructors, but I could use some time dialing in version 2.0 of my bike. Thanks.
Superstreet riders are not able to participate in the morning practice sessions. That is reserved for licensed racers only.

I will let somone on the board correct me if I am wrong on anything I am about to state. Otherwise here is what info I have gathered from other posts recently.
Super street riders are not ever allowed to participate in the MRA racer practice sessions.
Superstreet riders can do the previous friday track day to an MRA race weekend with the exception of the very first race of the year which is exclusive to racers with MRA licenses.
So in summary for this weekend coming up, it sounds like the only track time available for you would be with the instructors during the Super Street program.
In future rounds Friday would also be open.

Figured that was the case. Thanks guys.

This is correct. The MRA has the option to reserve the Friday trackday as "exclusive" but we only intend to exercise this option at the first round.
The only practice session that will be available for the SuperStreet riders at the first event will be during the designated SuperStreet practice sessions on Saturday.

I am tossing the idea of superstreet to "get my feet wet" as it were. I have a ton of questions though, so please pardon the new guy.
1. What bikes are typically being brought in for SS?
2. Is the only track time available, after classroom sessions or is there an open time that I could get a better feel for it?
3. I don't want to use my existing bike (love the blackbird too much) are there pics or video available to see what others are racing?
4.Is there a limit to how many times a newbie can race SS before required to license or move up?
I apologize in advance for the seemingly stupid questions, but hope to have enough info in case I can make the June Race.
Is it a mid-life crisis or am I crazy?
1. Bike of choice seems to be the r6. Over half the last bikes were r6's. Then some liter bikes.Originally Posted by willi1962
2. We normally get like a 20-30 minute session with an instructor when all races are over on Saturday. Then a 5 minute break, then 2-3 laps practicing launches, then the 15 min or so race.
3. There is an older GSXR race bike for sale on here for $1k. Here are some vids of the last race - Mine: http://youtu.be/Id1bSJAoEEM Others: http://youtu.be/0cc21inh29c
4. There doesn't seem to be. The only rule like this is that you cannot have had a race licence in the last 3 years.
5. You will have a blast.
Not because the R6's are the best. But because they are plenty available and if you need help the knowledge and spare parts are readily available.Originally Posted by WolFeYeZ
Don't get me wrong, I love the 2 diff R6's I have had but that doesn't = the best.
Oh and if you really want to focus on technique, a 250 is an excellent way to go too. and very affordable for race maintenance.

Thanks for the replies on bike type. I've never raced bikes, just canyon straightening on the blackbird and turning left in a dirt track car. The videos are pretty cool, perhaps a little intimidating.
Then to see a bike or two go down, yikes. I would imagine, just like running up bear creek canyon, the adrenalin pretty much overcomes everything.
