What would it take to ride WERA at LVMS Jan 23 - 25 on my 1125?
I'm not a WERA member. The only license I have is from ASMA. Could I get a license then? Could I race a beginner class or novice.
The bike is pretty much setup now for WERA as far as safety wire, lights are off, belly pan is on. |

MOST race organizations take licenses from other recognized organizations. If in doubt, you ought to shoot them a note. Sean Clarke (MONGO) is very good about getting back to you with answers - especially now in the off season.

quote:2008 WERA Rulebook, Chapter 7
2. Have a current, valid WERA Competition License or other racing license designated as valid at a particular race. Only WERA Licensed riders will earn points toward an invitation to the Grand National Final. WERA will allow racers with the following current licenses to participate in two WERA events before said racer is required to purchase a WERA membership: CMRA, RACE, WMRRA, OMRRA, CRA, USCRA and AHMRA. Riders who participate in WERA events with another race organization’s license ARE NOT EARNING WERA POINTS. Points are only awarded to racers with a current WERA License. Contingency awards are only available to racers with a current WERA license. Endurance team riders must all have valid WERA licenses.
And further down:
quote:12. WERA licensing requirements:
a) Resume: A resume or display of another organization’s current roadracing competition license may be accepted as proof of ability, and the new licensee may participate in that weekend’s events.
b) Successfully completing a WERA approved rider’s school. WERA recognizes the following motorcycle ROADRACING schools as the requirement for obtaining a Provisional Novice License: WERA New Riders’ School, Jason Pridmores STAR School, Fast Track Riders school, Ed Bargy’s Rider School, Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School, Corner Speed, Team Chicago School, F.A.S.T. (Canadian), CLASS, Team Hammer Advanced Riders’ School, Track Riders, MARRC, Freddie Spencer, Viking Race School, California Superbike (must take the classroom part of WERA’s school), RPM Track School, Ty Howards Racing School 35, Sportbike Track Time Pro School., Champion Sportbike Club, Wizard Racing School, & Penguin School. The length of time between taking the riders’ school and racing must not exceed twelve (12) months. If the school you have taken or wish to take is not listed call the WERA office to see if it has been approved since the printing of the rulebook or if it meets WERA requirments.
Shoot Sean a note. I've never had more than a couple days for him to get back to me on anything. - post up on the WERA BBS too if you haven any questions that are not "official" They're a good crowd. |

Steve, thank you for the information. I did read their rules and see the sites you provided. The next step is to contact Sean.
The sponsor is all in for this so it will happen if they will let me in. |

Dug,
Good luck!! I plan on racing in the WERA North Florida Series next year.
Also, you will need a steering damper for WERA. |

paint, I'm setup for WERA. What I'm trying to do is position myself to travel nation wide (not all the time, I still have to work some) and race on tracks I've heard about in my life. Florida is in the plan but not till 2010. We've got lots of tracks in the west and central America that will use up all our time for 2009. Just trying to live out the dreams. |

If you can swing that, you are lucky. The only 2 tracks that I've ridden were Loudon and Pocono (and Pocono was a paid trip from work). I will try to branch out a little this coming year and hit NJMP, VIR and Summit Point. |
