redkow97 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 for those who have RACED with MotoSeries:how much is the race license, and do i really have to pay $175 to take their school and learn the race line, and braking/turn-in points before I can buy it?I've completed a WERA race school before, and a 60-second conversation about starting procedures and some of the more obscure flags (that MotoSeries probably doesn't even have at the corner stations) would be all I need to pass any written test they want to give me...I may have to drill 2 or 3 things for wire, and throw yellow plates on my bike, but otherwise, I think i'm sold on riding almost exclusively with MotoSeries this year.Does MotoSeries have a tire vendor, or at least someone who can mount/balance tires at the track?I need new rubber before I can turn a wheel this year...

blue03636 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 license is $100I would think the WERA school would be fine but I would contact Todd about it. Make sure you let him know when you took it and that you have still been doing trackdays since then.Yes, Todd sells pirelli and they have a dunlop rep and somewhat of a bstone, michilen, conti rep. They can all change tires for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only an additional $50 compared to a normal track day. Either way Todd can let you know for sure.As far as tires, if you buy from the vendor they will mount and balance for free. Make sure to follow the rule book as far as safety wiring and bike prep.See you in April at the first event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 damn man, the transponder is a total ass-fuck...at least it looks like they hold value. $300 used. yikes. Then another $100 for a race license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yep, I got one because at $35 a day for rental adds up quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 well i hate to say it, but if it's between a set of tires and a transponder, the only thing the transponder's got going for it is that it lasts longer...i need to find some shit to sell on eBay ASAP.

jbot Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 well that and you can't really race without one, and if you're planning on racing more than 10 days, you ought to get one. besides, try using a set of tires for a season and selling them for 75% of their value. actually, if you buy the transponder used, you'll probably get just about all you pay for it when you go to sell it... unless you break it or don't keep the battery maintained.

rubbersidedown Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 So how does nelson ledges and bever run compare to putnam or midohio The track at beaveRun is comparable in size speed and layout to Putnam. The facilities are nicer at BeaveRun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 The track at beaveRun is comparable in size speed and layout to Putnam. The facilities are nicer at BeaveRun.Beaver Run also has more elevation changes than Putnam. Putnam and Beaver Run are good tracks that have a decent width of track, challenging layouts in different ways, plenty of run off, etc. Both tracks are right hand turn dominate with a few left hand turns. Surface is good on both, I haven't ridden either in the rain but I have heard they are both pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 If that's the case might just stick with beaver run and mid Ohio then because I liked how nesba ran the beginners class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbersidedown Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I've ridden Putnam after a night of hard rain. Enough rain to wash off any stray fluids. The morning was clear so we rode even though the track was still wet. Traction was BAD and unpridictable, like ridding on tar strips. I suffered a lot of ass pucker. It started to sprinkle just before my last session and I sat it out. I will not ride Putnam again if it is wet. I've talked to others in the area that are familiar the track and they Putnam in the rain is SHIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Putnam damp is sketchy. Putnam full wet is fine. With rain tires of course. If you had DOT race tires, they probably were sketchy...But, Putnam is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
