Who races?

[zortness]

That's pretty sweet, getting trophies during your first races. I got my first ones this year, during my 2nd season (and I've got a little stack of them going now). I guess that's a big downside to starting in the "meatgrinder" class, but I still love those little pieces of plastic and metal. I hope I'll get some more trophies this year, but it's going to be a bit different in the expert divisions.

Edit: I don't even know why I put no as an option.

Your poll is invalid due to lack of "Tater's whore" option

I got pushed into Expert after my 1st season because of finishing in the top 10 (9th or 10th I don't remember) and whined about it when I got the "You will be advancing to Expert next season" letter. I called Kurt Hall at WERA to try to talk them out of it, but he said with 11 Podiums, 4 Wins and a top 10 at the GNF I needed/had to move to Expert.

I didn't think moving to Expert would be so good for me but I didn't have a choice, so I just decided to step up and do it. it was better in Expert than Novice. Safer riders and faster riders made me a faster, safer rider. I won the first Expert race I was in and went from there.

Yes, I race.
CMRA

[CW AF 03]

Yes, I race. WERA West. Ducati 1098. No, I am not crazy OR made out of money...I just love that freakin' bike!

[smileyman]

Trophies and plaques...You know everyone asks me "how much money do you win?" And when I tell them we spend incredible amounts of money, risk our lives, and fight tooth and nail for a little piece of chrome covered plastic and wood they just kinda stare and nod..."Ummm, Uh Huh, OK then look at the time"

I love my championship jacket and it is a great conversation starter. Some don't think you win them and ask how much a jacket like that costs. I throw out what it takes to run the season, 11 races worth of entry fees, travel accomadations, equipment, tires, and spares, and they get all confused...Still I hold those trophies and that jacket in higher esteem than I do my high school and college diplomas...

I win every trackday I enter!

But seriously, I bought a track bike (07 zx6) with the intentions of racing CMRA and WERA events. However, due to unforseen financial setbacks I was unable to run. I haven't even been able to do trackdays in 07. I still have the bike, but don't racing in the picture for 09 either. I am actually looking to trade it for another street bike so I don't have to run around on a lowered and stretched Busa every time I want to get out.

I do however have the ability to take the Busa to the track since drag racing is much cheaper around these parts.

I do a little racing in between crashes.
