i-Zapp Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 was going to run an old F2 Honda as my racing debut, but the bike has significant issues and won't be ready by the weekend. was tempted to just run a WERA C class on my TD 600, but i'm too slow and don't wanna embarrass myself even in C. I think this year i'm going to do some recon and see whats up in each of the classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesmoDuc Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 man, don't let what you think others will say deter you .... last year I started both races on the front row and then carefully executed a retreat to the mid/back of pack. I rode my best, and it was what it was ... had a blast doing so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUYZFR1 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'll be running the A classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 No idea how to get signed up if I wanted to or what I'd need except a couple hundred $$. Not sure what class I'd run with the 750ss either... Maybe next year. I'll be wandering around the track and checking out my buddy's setup in the pits as well. He's running his 800ss I think in A class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be running the endurance race next month at Pitt, you think you'll look slow out there during vintage days hah! You should stop by saturday while the motoamerica guys put on a passing clinic on my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester_ Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) I am going to try and make it, just had a kid born yesterday so need to make sure everything is good on that front. Also I haven't been to mid ohio yet this year so it might be a bit of a struggle. Edited June 28, 2017 by Jester_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha my wife lets me do whatever for the most part. We discussed it a week ago and she didnt have any issues with me doing a race as long as everyone was healthy. And its not like id be spending the night or something, just drove back and forth for practice and whatever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
