WERA Nashville April 17th
 

I am going watch my sponsored riders at Nashville. Anyone else want to go?

Hey Drewpy, me and A are probably going to head over on Saturday after I get off work, get a hotel if need be.

We haven a empty room at the house if you want to stay here

Sponsored? I thought you just gave him some free stickers

Sounds good to me.

Will you be working that night? Been wanting to see the bar.

Pretty much, but I get to slap my logo on their bikes because I gave them free stickers. That means I am a sponsor.

dam, you should at least buy him some tires

I am just an associate sponsor, it's not like I got a huge sticker on his bike.

Then pay for a damn oil change

im not working that night, so we are good to do haha

If you see mongo kick him in the nuts for me LOL

Hell, send one this way. I'll slap it on the kids bike, dead center of the windscreen.

Send me your address, send me a size you would want it, it's rectangular so about a 5x3 ratio like on the header. Also a front color and background color, just like the white and black up top.

Hey Drewpy, still have an available room?

Yep, we got ya kbup

Awwwww yeaaaa. PM me your addy.

I need it to, drewpy.

If we are sponsoring a racer, shouldnt we get him some publicity going on the forum for him? Like who he is, etc?

Not TWFix, TWVinyl.

Ah, that makes better sense.

Me and my son Brandon will be there. He will be racing his Ninja 250... #291. Come by and say hi. Any hotel recommendations?

Not sure may want to ask drewpy

This...

Good luck to your son! :dthumb:

Clarion hotel is nice, or the double tree hotel

Thanks for the info. Hope to see you guys there.

We will try to come find you. Send me your cell in pm and I will send you mine back.

Trip, let me know if he doesn't get back to you... this is the kid I sponsor :)

sounds good

I guess I'm not staying with Drewpy...

I am not sure if I can even go yet. Work is not cooperating. I may end up working. Good possibility I will easily pull over 80 hours this week maybe 90. This will be a saturday decision for me.

Yeah kbup you can stay, it wasn't even a question, you should know your welcome here

Annnnnd, the kid took second yesterday...

Cool

I totally forgot to look for him today. I knew there was something I was forgetting.

Here are a few pics I took:

Jawesome good time!

who is the wcw on the 2 smoker?

Willis Cycle Works, it's a local shop for bike work. Good guy, does good work.

Well, Brandon got FIRST in eSuperstock on Sunday. He got the hole shot from the second row on the grid and gapped second place by about 25 seconds.

Didn't see his race, I was in the pits watching some of the US129Photos group getting ready for the B Superbike Ex & Nv, V7 HW race, we were in the process of heading out because I wanted to get back to Knoxville early.

Draik didn't race against any 125s. He did well against the clubmans and formula 2 guys though. So he took home a 1st for the 125 class.

My other racer, Jamie Murray got two thirds in C Superstock Novice and C Superbike Novice, HWT SS Ex & Nv.

Going to this race has got my gears going, I want to research more about the different series. I kinda want to race a small displacement bike. I really love racing my 50 at the gap, but I kinda want to move up. The mini bike series in WERA is kinda weak, I want something more than that. I wish they had a more developed 250 series.

theres a washington cycle works up in jersey that also does very good work and works with a lot of the racers

What about USGPRU? They have both a 125 and 250 class.

That's what I was thinking. I don't know much about CCS, if they're in your area...

CMRA is the bomb diggity for 250 racing...

Too expensive. I want to be able to run a cheap Ninja 250 or something similar. Plus isn't USGPRU pretty elite.

CCS (out here anyway) doesn't have much in the way of small displacement participation. The LW classes are primarily SV's, with the occasional TZ 250 thrown in.

I think WERA is the only group with a Ninja 250 class?

I am not sure, I know I could run in like e superstock/formula 2/clubman, but I don't know how competitive a 250 would be in the last two.

Depends on who is running... :wink:

yeah, but on some of the bigger tracks like barber or nashville, a 250 even with a skilled rider can get dominated by a decent rider with twice the motor. I know 600 is the class where most of the people are and probably where I should focus on, but I just like small displacement racing better. Wish Ninja 250 series had more of a crowd. May start looking into motard racing as well. I really want a WR250X, so having it for race and play would be cool too.

Don't do 600 - that's meat-grinder material. The 250's are a big deal racing here. Bryan was telling me about how disappointed he was with the lack of crowd at Nashville.

Yeah I am not going to get into 600s, I just don't have the desire to race those. I either want to go for 250s or motard racing.

Sorry we didn’t get to hook up at Nashville. Another time maybe.


The Ninja 250 or CBR 250 is a great bike to race, cheap and fun. WERA and CMRA pull in about a dozen 250’s for the E-Superstock class. The West Coast also has Ninja 250 classes to run in. In addition to the ESS class, you can run Vintage 5 and Clubman classes with WERA. With CMRA you can run Formula 4 and Clubman. Although the 250 is out-gunned in the V5 and Clubman classes you can still pull in a podium.
