lap time maximum?

So anyone have an idea of laptimes for WERA at Baa-rber? I am wondering what would be the slowest that is not just a hazard

Thanks BWhip. Interesting that my track day times put me about 17th I might just have to figure out what classes I would be in

You won't learn much from people running the same pace as you.

Almost wired.

So what are Solo races? The rulebook is vague on the difference between them and sprint races other than no teams....

Also any suggestions on a number? Not sure if I will keep my dirt number (#179)

Solo races are longer than sprints (they used to be called Solo Endurance), but since the schedules are now so packed to get more entry money they have all been shortened to about one and a half times as long as a sprint. CCS and WERA used to run 25 lap Solo Endurance races at Grattan, but the last couple I ran were 15 laps (while the sprints were 8 to 10 depending on track density and number of total entries for the day).

Good luck on the number. You usually need to submit 3 choices and are lucky if you get any of them if you haven't been racing for a few years in the particular organization you are going to race with.

I always submitted the same number for all 3 choices and if someone else had it in the same region, then I would negotiate with them and have always had pretty good luck (but it's never guaranteed that someone will want to repaint their bodywork if they have had the number for a while).

#54 seems to have no one that has registered since 2005 in Novice in the South Same with 662. Kind of annoying that I might not be able to put them on ahead of time

How can they have so many of the same number?

Is it regional divisions?

It is broken down in regions, classes and novice/expert. And is someone from another region is there with the same # one has to put an "X" on the plate after the actual #.

I've always wanted 15 or 215. Both seem to be pretty popular choices.
