Im thinking about doing the superstreet class yet this year but looking through the pics I see alot of race glass and number plates. I thought it was a street bike class. Am I wrong?

Its not how fast you go, its how little you slow down.
It's a run what you brung class. Yes you can run race glass and some riders borrow race bikes.

80%+ is street bikes. You just can't have held a license for a few years.
I guess that makes sense. Was starting to think it was cherry picking for the racers. I realize there is no cash prize but nobody likes to get lapped either.

With the "noobness" of Superstreet, I have not seen anyone on race bike or otherwise, been an overdog. Sure, given enough laps I'm sure a liter bike would lap a 250.

Yep no points, no trophies, just bragging rights. And I get lapped and passed all the time, it ain't no thing.
I lapped a couple people last round. It happens.
I'm like a full grown boy. I still throw temper tantrums when I lose. Just sayin.

I'll lap you politely then.I'm like a full grown boy. I still throw temper tantrums when I lose. Just sayin.
That's all I could ask for.I'll lap you politely then.
Lookin forward to meeting some more CSC tomorrow at HPR. I'll have a Blue S10, green EZ up, black n orange GSXR 1000 and bored yet patient wife.
Stop and say hi!

Definitely check out the SS class, regardless of how slow or fast you are. There are always other people out there that will be running a similar pace to you so it's a ton of fun. There was a guy out there last year who got lapped, but he's learned and improved a lot and now he's running quite well.
I had so much fun in the super street class.That's all I could ask for.

I live in Parker and looking forward for the last round in October.
Why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly
Yeah SS was a blast. No trophies or cash or anything else. But without a race bike that passes tech, and a MRA license, when else do you get to grid up with a real start/finish? Unless if it's in a straight line at Bandi.
I will be rounding up a "few" people for next years season to come out and race it.
Superstreet definitely seems like a lot of fun for less time/money and commitment than full-on racing (endurance or sprint).
After chasing Cornfed's GSXR1000 around HPR on my 600RR I can see where the bring-anything nature of it would be a hell of a challenge, and makes it exciting.
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

Ya know there is one more SS at HPR this year. Ive got alot of learning to do at HPR yet, but.......

There very well may not be, if the MRA doesn't get enough attendance at PPIR next round. Get signed up for PPIR!

PPIR, Banked corners. high speeds, concrete walls...
What else can a super streeter want!
MRA Racer No.427
Exactly, never been to PPIR and am racing with other street guys, next to the wall. Fun, but ah, not likely.
I think Ill start with a track day and go from there.

Fair enough. Just wouldn't plan on an HPR event in October if the entries don't drastically improve for PPIR.

Yea I am going to break down and ride PPIR so hopefully there is a final HPR race. Not holding my breath but I am hoping.
Would mra allow an electric bike? And yes I'm being serious
Damn, I don't think I can make SS for PPIR but I will certainly try for it!!!!
That's an interesting question - we have nothing in our rulebook about electric bikes or the classifications they would be eligible for.
SO that leaves me with some questions:
1) What kind of electric bike do you have?
2) How much horsepower does it make?
3) What does it weigh?
4) How long can it run on a single charge?
from there we could see about what kinds of classes it might fit in?
