Dunno if/when/what I'm doing this season. I might run MRA, but more likely I'll run a car in either NASA, SCCA or both (boo!). Yeah, cages suck, I know. However, they tend to be easier to sponsor and net out cheaper to run.

Though, as it is, I may be FAR too broke to do anything but dream of racing and pit for Team My Little Pony... if they're racing this year...which is unconfirmed....

SO...I dunno...

i wanna know what car you race that is cheaper to race then a bike..

Well, that's what I've been looking into for about a month, I'm not yet sure it's true.

Someone who's a local racer (won't name names) has tried to convince me that if I compete in SCCA's SSB I could drive the car to the event (yeah, and not wad it) like you do for an AutoX so no $16k car hauler or truck needed. I've got two free & clear cars (one 95 one 98 ) that I could run, or could sell and buy a prepped car for between $7500 to $15000 depending upon which class and division I run.

I've got lines to Kuhmo and some other auto sponsors that'd pay both contingency and support money (for entry fees, etc) which would help offset racing costs for the car.

For a bike, I've got nothing. No sponsors, no trailer, no truck. I'd need to start from scratch and pay all the expenses out of pocket--and my pockets are pretty shallow with the economy in the shitter.

However, I've just found out (today, actually) that since I've got no recent credentials, then I'd have to spend $2200 for a 3 day race school for a regional SCCA/NASA license or $4500 for a national. Plus, I'd need all new SA2005 helmet, suit, gloves, shoes, mask, underwear etc--and that all adds up (probably $2k at a guess).

That puts me back towards MRA, and I could try to pick up a cheap track bike, but I work Saturdays (so I miss half the schedule) and I'd still need trailer/truck/crew etc.

SO...unless there's something I'm missing, I'm most likely I'm not racing again this year...

I may still be a pit monkey, but that's about it. Peh.

I'll just corner-work again this year. As much as I 'd like to race, it's not in the cards. But, I really enjoy the scene/community of the MRA and like to contribute where I can. Those of you that can't race might want to consider at least giving it a shot once. They're always looking for help.

What happened to the "Good Ol' Days" when you could just strap on a leather flight helmet, a pair of goggles and a white scarf. Then, you and a bunch of other World's Fastest Indians would cram next to each other at the start as some local hottie dropped her scarf.

Not sure if there's one here or not but I know they have in vegas every year through Fem moto. I heard nothing but good things about it.

[N1KSS1KS1x]

I planing on doing as many rounds as I can in 08 and full season in 09.

[Horn_E_NINJA]

I am putting an 06 R6 together and hope to get into the 18 April MRA class. Just have to find a few more parts. Then I plan to race at each track at least once this season.
