Street stock question

**blackstars_10** · 30th August 2008, 09:10

hey what is the age range in street stock. Im interested in giving it a go but dont want a bunch of strange looks from 13 year olds parents (oo hes too old for this level!!). So yeah is there lots of ages or just youngins?

12-120, though your RGV250 is an F3 bike

I was told i was too old once , so i came back and won a title just to stick it up the bastards and then i retired (again) lol.
Go to a track near your place and see what the age range is , i think you will be surprised.

13 to 120. In Motorcycling Canterbury and the South island National support class series there is a cutoff at your 20th birthday. 20 and over are "seniors" who display red (rather than black) numbers. For the Sportfotoz Cup the age cutoff is your 17th birhday, with extra restrictions to exclude riders who age qualify but have had two or more meeings on "more senior" race classes such as 125GP, pro twin, F3 etc.
Coaching, training and access to club bikes is the same for all age groups.
We've just been coaching a new rider at 58 years old in Streetstock, initially using a club bike.
PM me or someone in Otago M/C Club and we'll get you going with full support and training right away.

So a KR250 would be ruled out too

Yep, but F3's all good if you've already got the bike
