Round 1 Weekend

[steadyeddie]

Hi everybody. New to the board and to WWMRA. Am coming out to play with you all this year and have some questions. Is there a VP vendor at the races?
Is there a Pirelli vendor as well? Is anyone willing to supply me with gearing info for an SV? As I am coming a fair distance is there a reasonable hotel nearby? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. :D

Welcome!

Pirelli will be there. Tigershark Racing is the group that comes up from Portland for Pirelli.

As far as VP goes, NO! There are pumps at the track, Sunoco is the race fuel available. Vendors are fined for ANY fuel sales that take place at the track so if you're going to pick up VP, DO NOT DO IT AT THE TRACK. :)

I think there is a place in Tacoma that has VP, but I'm not positive.

Can't help with the SV.

As far as hotels, check out Covington if you want to be really close to the track (few miles).

HTH,
Nico

Nico covered everything else... for the SV gearing, try PM'ing skidmarx here (or hopefully he'll see this post). They race an SV650 in LW SuperTeams/LW Endurance, and he's always willing to offer advice.

15/45 or 15/44 (if you are fast) for a supersport bike

Fast? I get passed by grandma in her Buick on her way to church :D Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.
