Any place to race small street bikes in CA?
« on: December 28, 2012, 08:43:33 AM »
I'd like to do a bit of racing.
Are there any tracks or clubs around the SF Bay who do small displacement spec racing? Like Ninja 250s for example.
I checked Willow, Laguna, Sears, and a few others - Seems like eveything around here is all about superbikes. I don't do super bikes.
Looks like there's a small displacement vintage series up in Portland - which looks REALLY cool - but that's too damn far.
Ideally I'd LOVE to race something like a Dream 50R. YouTube has some vids of Japanese guys buzzing around on those little 7hp wonders. That looks like a LOT of fun. But of course we can't do that here...
So, any ideas?

do you have bucket racing, a fun way to get out on the track and not cost a fortune. http://youtu.be/1WZAyeC8S2Q

Are you looking for a place to race your Ninjette in particular, or just a small bike?

Chuckwalla has a large Ninja 250 community. Willow Springs has a class for Ninja 250, IIRC.

No, not a Ninja 250 specifically, just something small, cheap, and slow.

Re: Bucket racing - man, that would be PERFECT! But I've never seen anything like that around here...

I just found some stuff on the AFM site. I'll have to look deeper once I get out of work and The Man isn't watching.

How many AHRMA events are at those tracks in your area?...they should have a 250cc class at most events?  There is also WERA and maybe one other vintage racing org. but not sure who does what in your area...
