I would love to try out SuperStreet but I have a couple of questions. Do you have to register by today to get in? Should I not try it out if my only track experience is a day at IMI?

[Bueller]

IMI experience is fine, but not even necessary, this is geared towards street riders that may have never even been on a track.

http://forums.mra-racing.org/viewtopic.php?t=12495

Not sure if there is a pre reg deadline but I'll bet you can register day of event. I'll let Jim answer that for sure.

[Mother Goose]

You can register the day of, but there is a cut off time. Don't ask me what that time is though. ;)

Registration for Super Street is open up until the day of the event. We would prefer you pre-enter so we have an accurate count of participants and can staff instructors accordingly, but you can show up that morning and take care of the entry form and payment.
We've had many participants with no track experience so you will be fine. We created Super Street for street riders to try racing without the added overhead that is usually necessary to race.

[tecknojoe]

Ill be cornerworking. Guy in the blue hat. Come say hi

[Bueller]

If I come say hi to you in your corner I will have had a bad day :lol:

[vort3xr6]

Someone let me borrow their bike for superstreet.

[Bueller]

Run the DRZ!

I think you can't have had a license for 3 years though. :)

[grim]

If i can get some new tires before this i am in!

[vort3xr6]

Yeah I figured having white plates last year would pretty much ban me from superstreet.

lol @ DRZ @ HPR.

[Bueller]

Hey there are usually a Ninja 250 or two out there. My wife will be running one later this year.

[Kitten]

I believe that Superstreet is one of the best ways to get into track riding/racing as you get quality instruction by a professional staff. It really help to not pick up bad habits by trying to learn on your own. Just my $.02

And yeah, I know what its like to be broke....I'm lucky to be making this weekends race haha.

[r6rammy]

I'm hoping to run superstreet at some point this year. Cant make it there this weekend, will try'n make it out to the race next round. Good luck ya'll.

[jbnwc]

Looks like I'm spectating...unless someone needs a hand in the pit!:eyebrows:

I can always use help prepping and drinking Coke. I'm planning on helping Slo empty his cooler and helping JR eat all his carne esada. It's a fun place to be even if you aren't racing. If it isn't windy I'll be under the ginormous white ezup with the red ZX12R. Come say hi.

[jbnwc]

Potential buyer for the table saw today if it gets sold I'll get tires and sign up :up:

All the major tire distributors will be at the track. I also have a small stockpile I might be able to help you out with. I assume you would run the ZX-6? I have a set of NEW 120/180 Dunlop Qualifiers I could let go for $220. I have a front Michelin Power One for $100 if you can get a rear.

I also have a front Power One RTO anyone can have for $20. I wouldn't use it for racing, though. The edges are done, but the center is good.

[thankgod]

Dang I have to Work overtime :puppy: Sat and had previous plans for Sunday! Looks like I'm not gonna watch any of the action this Weekend!!! Be safe and fun ya'll!!!!

[madvlad]

Buying a pair of boots friday and keeping an eye out for leathers hehehe... I'm 5'6 160lbs, if anyone knows of a set of leathers going for a decent price that can fit me lmk. Most people 5'10-6'2 seem to be wearing 42-44 so I assume I'm like a 38 or so. Never owned a suit before so playing it by ear lol

If you don't find anything better, I have a size 40 two peice you can use(not looking to sell). I am roughly 5'9 155 and it fits fine.

Thanks for the offers guys!

@tecknojoe - lmk when I can try those on, I also assume that every brand has differences in sizing due to material and features?... G-force has a Speed and Strenght race suit for $400. Any experience with these by any chance?

@joew, I may do IMI this Sunday. If so could I use them?

I'm not sure how the A* suits run since I've only had 2 suits before. you can swing by tomorrow evening if you want. I'm usually home after ~4pm. Not sure about the speed and strength suits. Start a thread about them. I know that AGV makes cheap suits and they work well enough

If you're time crunching to make it this weekend you can use my suit. Just pay for repairs if u eat pavement

[sag]

how many are usually in a superstreet race? i want to do them this year but am fearful of competitive attitudes and someone crashing into me because im slow as balls.

[Matrix]

Thanks for the offers guys!


@joew, I may do IMI this Sunday. If so could I use them?

I will be at HPR all weekend and I doubt you want to drive all the way out there. I will be around tomorrow night putting the final touches on the bike if your around the Arvada area. Your welcome to give it a try to see what you think.

[flyingmonkey]

I just sign up for the SS

See you guys on Saturday.

[Bueller]

There are different sized fields depending on weekends. You have the option of starting in the back. I haven't seen many issues with the race part itself, and almost all are single bike incidents. The racing up front can get close but mid pack and back are pretty civilized. Most have the same attitude as you, they want to have fun and keep it real. My wife will likely be doing one later this year on her 250. She will end up getting lapped but she holds her line very well so people shouldn't have a problem getting around her.

Not on a crunch for time really, just more curious as of around what size suit I need. I'll still be out at IMI but maybe to watch and learn more than actual riding for the time being. I'll hit you up next week at some point to try it on. Seems like the suit is gonna have to wait for another bit as I think I need chain and sprockets for the R1 (20k, it was riding kind of funny on the way home)... surprised they lasted this long though I did push 27k out of my OEM on the 600 gixxer but this thing being a 1000 don't think can go there and I'd rather not risk it lol

Unfortunately I can't tonight but thanks man, I'm studying for my ASE certifications couple hrs a night to see if I can move on with my life and maybe make more $$$ and be able to attend races with more comfort at some point lol... Good luck this weekend bro!

[TransNone13]

Not going to make it to this one, good luck everyone with SS. It's awesome :).

[Peanut_EOD]

I will be there tomorrow! Look for the giant RV that says Peanut on the side.

[summit82]

I will probably be there Saturday as a spectator. One of my friends is competing in MRA round #1.

[jbnwc]

I think last year there were grids anywhere from 9 to 26 or so. You have nothing to worry about with regards to other riders. Most are pretty relaxed and everyone wants to bring their ride home unscathed. I'm probably one of the most aggressive in SS, but I would much rather take 4th and not hurt anyone rather than go for 1st and risk crashing with someone. There are no points or trophies, so the reward is just how fun it is. As long as you stay on your line and ride predictably, you will be fine.

It's a really tame race if you want to take it easy:

[Jmetz]

I might head over on Sunday.

[asp_125]

There's been good, clean racing at the front of SS, but the rest of the pack tends to sort themselves out like any track day. Just remember you don't win SS on the warmup lap!

true, i've seen a lot of the SS people just outride themselves and go down alone. no-one's out there to win a spot in ama
