Again- what was the goal for the change? The goal of the handicap system was to grow participation. The idea that people would be more likely to participate on whatever machine they already owned and still feel like they had a shot. Not go out and buy a new machine to stay competitive. This was the...
After looking at the data provided - still without any explanation as to what the goal of revamping endurance was...... Here is my analysis of the file provided. You are cherry picking data and using too small of sample size to really have any hope of accuracy. Thats why lap records were previously...
I don't think non VRRA class bikes should be taking trophies away from VRRA class bikes.... Add it as a separate class. Open- well that's a little different. It's not a native class for any bike. If they are running in the regular classes- should there not be a handicap for that too then? Another b...
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...
The original proposal was to remove handicaps for P3, P4 and P5. I am against removing handicaps. The same team and tactics should always be faster on a later period bike. The exec meeting when we discussed the endurance proposal, among other items, was over 2 hours long. After much discussion a 1%...
So a p3 middle is only 1 sec per lap slower than a p5 middle at mosport with the same rider? Sorry this makes zero sense. You might as well just eliminate handicaps and run what you brung. The original plan was a slight tilt in favour to older machinery to get people out on track. Your current plan...
This makes no sense. Are you saying that a P3L bike is doing effectively the same time as a P4-F3 bike, the only difference is 0.01%. Can you post the data that is behind this?
I second that, this makes anyone planning to race a p3 light bike immediately rethink it.
Brian, I think we're beating a bit of a dead horse here. Many, many riders are running 165 slicks on 4.5" rims in our club, myself being one of them. Whether the bike is 350 or 400lbs shouldn't really make a huge difference, but may required you to run a little more tire pressure. I'm also VERY...
I understand there are rule changes possibly happening for the endurance series in 2024z Can the details be shared so the membership can plan accordingly? Thanks Something strikes me as odd here. If the class rules and handicaps for endurance are written in section 8 of the rule book, and the rules...

Is this RSVP for the AGM or the banquet? I for example may not make the AGM depending on what time I arrive in Brantford, but will make the banquet. Thanks! Kevin
Well, after lots of thought and deliberation, I’ve decided to sell the sidecar rig and focus on racing solo bikes next season. I Truly had a great time riding the rig, but with the amount of classes I like to run it is just too much to keep moving. Bill Quail and I had a great season on this rig, st...
One question with the new software, I see it seems any number may be entered for any one of our bikes. How are the rider numbers being tracked and maintainted? In series tracker there was a greyed out list.
Just want to make sure I've entered my info correctly. Thanks, Kevin
Testing the waters here. I have a 1978 CB550 I picked up a while back to build into another vintage race bike or cafe-race streetbike that I'm thinking of letting go. The vast majority of the parts needed to put it back together and get on the street are there. (missing stock seat, frame slightly mo...
