Knowing this is the N2?forum, with possible bias toward track days, want to ask about transition from track days to racing.
Me: done about 8 track days over 1.5 years
Moved up to a mostly stock Ninja 400 this year. 5’9” 155 lbs.
About 60 yrs old, so no expectations to go pro, just enjoy competition from my days of autocrossing and track days in a heavily modified Datsun 510. Not expecting to podium either, just compete and hopefully pass a few people.
Questions:
1. Track time: Guessing I’d get more on a trackday than WERA or CCS? What’s the better bang for buck?
2. Cost. From fees perspective, which is more?
3. Bike prep: would need to do all the safety wire stuff and all, but what should I expect to pay for consumables, like tires, etc.?
3. Competitors: what would I be up against?
A bunch of 18 year old elbow banging Joan Mir’s or old farts like like me?
4. Series: AHRMA might be better suited to me, but while I do most of my own work, I’d rather ride than wrench, hence the Ninja 400
thanks!
