S.O.A.R. 2014 Race Schedule is UP...
- Thread starter HawkEye#311
- Start date
What about practice weekend, is there a Friday to that? I am guessing noI just requested all 6 Fridays off work.
I don't think so. Last two years that I've gone to were just Sat/Sun. Not sure if I'll be there for the practice weekend this year.
I'm targeting 2015. I can't afford it yet. When I do it I want to really go for it and try to win the rookie cup.
That is what we all track/street riders think, then we get slapped in the face by some really hooked up bikes with some fast mofos in Rookie
He needs an 80's training montage to start racing this year

That's another reason why I'm not ready. 2013 I had some good track days with racers out there, and found lots of things to work on.
bwahaha... AWESOME! But I prefer the WAR montage.

its cheaper then trackdays when you think about it. friday/sat/sun track time and racing one class will not be pricy
pm Ken and as him what he thinks. you will always be where you are on trackdays, just get into soar and you will be faster in one weekend vs a whole year of track
I know about entry fees. I'm thinking more about tire costs. You can point out as many things as you want, and please do, but I won't be racing in 2014.
my 14 year old son will be racing this year
Awesome!

You'd be surprised at how much rubber you don't burn up. Your not doing 8 20min sessions for 3 days. I can get through a weekend on a set of tires on the 600, the 1000 not so much. Friday practice, Saturday practice on one set, qualify Saturday on a new set, practice Sunday morning on the old set and race on Sunday with the qualifying set from Saturday then use them for practice at the next round. This is doing RACE where you get more practice on Saturday because they don't hold an endurance race in the afternoon and on a 1000.
Nice! That's good to know. I'm going back to Dunlop this year and will get my bike working well on those (it is currently set up for Dunlops but for a lighter rider). I'll gauge the wear and hopefully be able to do what you suggested.
Use a KR106 front. One tire should last you all year.
What compound? I'm thinking medium front medium rear.
A 302 is the medium, use that. I was using the KR449 American rear in 7455 (or whatever the Medium+ compound is)
Okay, thanks. I was actually thinking of trying the 211GP in a 6838 front and 7712 rear (that's the medium multi-tread, and the 7712 is also used for the medium rear slick) so that when I'm done with them on the track I can use them on my street bike for a few thousand km. Any idea how the 6838 compound compares to the 302? The 211GPA rear comes in a 7455 also. I'll be talking with Sandy and Johnny at the show before purchasing. Already emailed Johnny a bit and he said there are always new compounds coming out and either way they'll have the compounds that work best for our tracks.
