new racer

I want to know exactly how to get signed on for this 2008 MRA season as a new racer. I have an AMA membership. I have taken a new racer rider course via vanmar racing. Who do I need to contact to get my number plate and sign on for this up comming season?

Re: new racer

If you have completed the new racer school through Vanmar, complete the 2008 Membership forms and mail them in http://www.mra-racing.org/index.cfm?...orms_downloads

Re: new racer

Novice GTU is a up to 640cc class and GTO is anything above that so the 750's and 1000's. As a novice you can run both novice classes and both amateur classes. In addition to this, you can run middleweight endurance. I ran all 5 of these classes last year and had a blast. You need to fill out these documents, click here.

You have to check the following

Race school of $150 (unless Mark can pass you)
Competition License of $100
Transponder of $240 (unless you already have one, if not check it, you wont find one cheaper)
AMA membership (unless you already have a current updated one)

Don't need to check the following

Associate member (unless you don't intend to race but want voting rights)
Crew Pass (but I highly recommend to buy some especially if you plan on having a crew. I bought 3 this year mom, dad, and gf. It costs $10 every time you go through the gate as a non racer on race day, so the pass will pay for itself in 5 races, and there are still 5 races left!)

If you need anything else, call me.

Re: new racer

Don't think they allow NOS in the MRA though.

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

Oh no you didn't LOL

No this past summer I built a 1999 ZX-6R 1st pic is when I bought the bike and the other is 90% done. What is not shown is the woodcraft rear sets and yoshi pipe front fender windscreen and green rim stripes safety wired and exhaust hanger. Faster Motorsports has it now putting on the finishing touches. Enjoy.

Also I got a hold of the MRA president and he filled in most of the blanks I had questions on.
