If you have started Novice at WMRRA just finish Novice with WMRRA and then get your expert license with WMRRA. Then you can go to MOM and race in their expert races as they accept the WMRRA license (might have to end up buying their license to continue running with them though)

I watched the vid again today and Colin passed him on the outside in T5. The CBR was mid-corner with almost ZERO lean angle. Wasn't even hanging off the bike.

I am already an expert so that is no worry! I am coming from a club based out of Colorado (MRA). I graduated last year and ran one WMRRA race here in Spokane!

ricksr6 · 02-19-2007, 04:24 PM

So is it going to rain on the first race weekend there in Seattle???

This would sure help me decide cause I am sure it will be nice in Utah March 31st!! HAHAHAHA

Hypnotiq · 02-19-2007, 04:30 PM

It is the first Novice weekend of the year. Of course its going to rain, possibly even hail!

That's cool. Just think of all the $$$$$ you're saving by NOT racing. You can buy several RealDolls to keep you company with that cash.

jezterr · 02-19-2007, 04:55 PM

realdolls don't whine and you don't have to buy them anything.

wait... shutup.

Exactly - T2 to be lazy 1 day, T5 to radio in the Red flags. Don't want to be the sweeper for T5 or T7

Hypnotiq · 02-19-2007, 05:26 PM

Sunday will be the day to be in T3 or T5 for Novice. All 60+ bikes going at it.

Carnage.

Hells yeah. Last year they were crashing out in packs in T3 & esp. T4! The scary thing I later found out was that most of the crashers were on street tires in the rain.

"Oh, I can't afford rain tires." Bullshit. The crash you just had will cost you $800.

No Quarter · 02-19-2007, 06:26 PM

NICO is NUMBER 20!!!!!!!

COOL!!!!!! Thats a cool number!!!! Way to go!!!!

I figured I'd pick a number of the place I'll finish most often.

I can't help to think you're happy to see novices crash, Nico. :( Why so morbid?

So, I came up with an idea... I'm gonna register last... as last as possible. That way I have less to deal with, and I'd be chasing the pack, instead of getting passed. I'm not silly enough to think I'm gonna come in top 10 with my SV for novice, so I might as well work on my times in the rear, and avoid getting a bike up my @$$.

Also, it's about learning and not crashing, right? Expert is where you can work on placement.

Yeah It sucks I have to change my freakin number cause WMRRA doesn't let experts run 9XX numbers dang it. 997 has been my number since I went pro in MX back in 1999.

Something you will learn during the NRC but if you want to be at the back of the grid, just grid there. The starters will know what you are doing and its ok by them.

But I highly recommend just gridding where you are placed and not worring about it. I say this because you will want some experience being in a large group of people charging for turn 2.

As to not being in the top 10 with your SV. You are a good rider, you just might be surprised.

No. I'm happy on the Hurricane. Low cost racing at its finest.

smcnees · 02-20-2007, 09:18 AM

I'm 309. The group that I go to the track with has 409, 509, and 609

ricksr6 · 02-20-2007, 10:09 AM

I am going to put in for 797 that way I only have to change one number when I run WMRRA.

The only other thing I was thinking, is getting lapped by the 1:35's...

Now that would hurt.

What's the likelihood the top 10 placements are gonna be 1:38 and under? Cuz I might think I'm fast, but not that fast. I'm working on reliability, lines, control, and keeping my bike as pretty as possible.

Mr. Sunshine, have you seen me ride???

I think there were 10 or so lapping at/below 38 last year. Maybe more this year. Don't let it deter you tho. Even if you bring 45's you'll still lap people

ricksr6 · 02-20-2007, 10:48 AM

So in the rulebook it says the 7XX numbers are for other club novices. Does this mean they won't let me run a 7XX number either if I join the club???

Sorry Kat, it's not being morbid. It's not something I wish for happen.

However, its a fact that it's going to happen. 60+ new racers on the track at the same time for the first time with varying skill levels and speeds. I just hope that no one gets themselves hurt.

Don't worry about top 10 placement. They aren't races. They are heats. The goal of novice is to improve, learn, and graduate when you're ready and skilled enough to run in expert.

Just because someone is turning < 38's doesn't mean they are good or are gonna graduate. They may be an unsafe rider, they may not know what they're doing, etc.

Concentrate on you and making yourself better. that's all.

Mr. Sunshine, have you seen me ride???

Yes I've seen you ride before and when I heard about your lap times I was like "Damnit I'm not gonna let this track newbie kick my ass."

To put my face with my screen name I was the one standing up sorta behind and to your right when you and Micheal were talking at the suspension seminar and Micheal ended up leaving.

I remember being in my first expert race where I ended up falling behind the couple of guys I was battling with (for last place or something.

) (I have an excuse....my left ankle was screwed) and here I am going down the front straight full throttle at like a 130+ and Ross Delong blows by me like I am sitting still. *That* was

The 7xx number range is for the novices people who come down from Canada.

Valid expert number ranges for WMRRA is 6-699. If you run a 7xx number you will likely be assigned a different number for the day if you want to run an expert race.

Well my bike is going to usually have 997 so I guess I will have to get some six's made or something so I can change it for WMRRA events!
