    Options to Race this season?

    So looking for opinions on what my options are to get on the grid the last two races of the season.

    -Option 1: do the last 2 superstreet races this season and see if I can get my license for next season

    -Option 2: Do a approved school (Ricky Orlando, etc.) race the last two rounds which will grid me up further for the start of next season

    -Option 3: Say screw it, prepare for next year and do track days, race school to get me back at my slow race pace

    -Option 4: Keep sinking money into the Kawi and stare at it in the shop as if I yard saled' that think the wife would kill me

    Options/Options/Comments? :wink:

    Another option would be to do a one on one race school with New Rider Director Jeff Brown on the Friday before one of the final two rounds and get your race license. Otherwise, I would suggest either option 1 or 2.

    Come out and do the superstreet races dude. It will be a large grid of riders too I imagine, so should have a few guys to chase around and get your speed back. Stop throwng money at the Kawi it is pretty enough already man, hahaha. See you soon.

    For God sakes, please stop doing Option 4! Unless you want to sell it to me at a discount

    I got Hackings shock off his attack Kawi so this thing should put itself out front

    Superstreet might be the best way as I've always been a fan of sliding in the back door :shock:

    I suggest you do Super Street next race and then figure out your next move. I am betting you will then dump at least 2 more G's in that bike. :lol:

    Get back on a R6 8)
    Has it been to long since your last school that you have to take another to get your lic?
    If so I'd go with Jim and do the 1 on 1 and run the last two rounds. To get starts and running pace that you dont get much of at a td.

    That seems like a bad marketing idea for the shop....I think you should claim lactose intolerance.
