    Hey, I've got a quick question, I'm coming down to the 4th round cause I'm still chasing that streetstock title. However, I've recently acquired, thanks to my dad (will be quite a while in paying him back), a 2003 CBR600RR race bike that I plan to race in the future instead of my CBR250RR. My question is, being that I have never ridden a 600 sports bike before (have ridden a TL1000, and a GSR600) I didn't really want to take it in the supersports class first up. So I was wondering if I would be able to take the 600 in Clubmans instead. I have been told that they might not allow it seeing as I'm racing in another class (streetstock) and I have previously raced my 250 in F3. So do you know if I will be allowed to take the 600 in Clubmans so I can just learn to ride it?

    i dont think you can. Clubmans is for first year only i think you will find

    I think the same question was asked last year about racing 2 classes clubmans and st stock. Pretty sure they said no

    Down here clubmans is for anyone as long as they aren't riding the bike they are riding in clubmans in any other class. Apart from that anything goes. It seems to be a fairly fair system too. I thought that most clubs would run a system like that.

    VTEC, just race it in F2 and F1, who gives if you're not at the sharp end, the feilds are big enough that im sure you'll find someone to kick it with, there's a good range of riders through out the feild, you'll be sweet, plus you get a ton of track time being in both f1 and 2 and should help the learning curve with people to chase. i doubt you'll do yourself any shame racing it in F2 and 1 mate, after all you're out there and doing it, a lot of people aren't.

    Just go for it! Either that or go for a mid week coro loop, park the van in Kopu, good for testing or come to KF's track day at taupo as well.

    I would second that. See that means one less person to get beaten by in clubmans too... LOL

    Na, Even with my pathetic times, I still wouldn't have been dead last in f2, (and there would be no shame if I was!!) racing is better than no racing. Give f2 a go, but be gentle on the bike!

    Just take the 600 out in F2. No-one will mind if you're not at the sharp end. Also look at doing a test day or two before hand. That way you can find your own pace without worrying about anyone else

    Yeah it is my first year. The reason why I'm worried about going in F2, is that I just rode it about 15 minutes ago for the first time, and it was completely different from my CBR250, a lot harder to turn it in, and in the long race, I'll end up as lapped traffic, cause I have to know my machine before I start riding it hard. I'm just worried that I may be a hazard in F2 to start with until I learn how to ride this beast.

    Can't do a test day before the next meeting as I just started a new job, and I'll have to take the friday off work just to get down there for saturday, if I was to do the test day on the friday I'd need thursday off aswell which I don't really want to do. Ideal situation is to take it in Clubmans with plenty of room, and minimal danger. I suppose I'll just have to ask on the day, as I think they might let me. I'll take it in F2 at my second meeting on it though.

    Edit: Well after reading bruce's words for a second time, I'm not sure what I want to do. Bugger it, I'll leave it to the day.

    you will NOT be allowed to change stuff on the day. go back to the first post. get your entry sorted before hand.

    If you are entering other classes, then you can't enter clubmans. We want to help people get on the track, but we can't change things just for one person.

    If you want to concentrate on the 600, then switch to clubmans - but you won't be able to ride in superstock and F3 as well. If you ride in F2 then you'll have a practice and a 6 lap race. If you feel out your depth in the long race, then just pull in.

    Just do it man... don't worry about the being at the back (we all know you won't be there for long )....

    anyway do you remember the buzz that you got from the first race on the 250. this will be a whole lot better...

    Catch you in a few weeks

    ah dont worry about it man its all good.

    if people are in the front they have to get used to lapped traffic. nature of the beast. just concentrate on your own thing.

    just dont do what some people do when they start and try to move out of the way of people trying to pass you. just hold your line.

    ownis is on the person passing you remember
