Re: Endurance Handicaps

As Endurance Coordinator I have reviewed the data just as the previous coordinator last did in 2020. I used his words and format to post. I have expressed my personal opinion. I have also invited the participating riders to contribute their data to support their opinion on the performance index. So...

Re: Endurance Performance Index

I too agree with Kirby's points. I was going to run a P3Lwt in endurance this year but am now on the fence about it. Not because of the effect this change could have on my team's results, but because there was no prior consultation with participants. A fait accompli. If the Endurance Coordinator ope...

Re: Endurance Performance Index

I've had it. Enough of the topdown leadership and lack of communication to the membership from our current president. What else are we not being told? Was there a majority of endurance racers (let alone VRRA members in general) asking for a revamp of the endurance handicapping system? Answer: no. I ...

Re: Looking for recommendations

Hmm...Purchase an already built reliable race bike (helps if from a VRRA member), from a Period and manufacturer that attract you, perhaps with a smaller displacement (unless you're comfortable with more power), for which parts are relatively easy to get, and is easy to work on. I know, complicated ...

Re: Bike substitution

I also agree……… However………… This is club racing. Which means the focus should be on having fun. Not much that’s less fun than watching an endurance race from the pits when your bike expired/crashed/got taken out (not for dinner!). Roger Kirby. There's a line in the movie Full Metal Jacket, "Yo...

Re: Bike substitution

Endurance racing is as much a test of the machine as it is of the riders. That is a key part of the attraction of endurance racing. I do not support substitution of bikes during the race. It involves more work for the volunteers and is inherently unfair to teams who do not have access to a replacem...
