We are very excited to announce our cooperative effort to provide a VRRA support class for the upcoming CSBK National events. The first will be at the opening round June 12-14 at Calabogie Motorsports Park for our Period 4 machinery. If the first event is successful, the second would be held at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park August 14-16, one week in advance of our Vintage Festival featuring our P3 riders.
In support of this inaugural venture, Pro6 Cycle has generously provided us with four practice slots at Calabogie during their practice days previous to the event. All four are available to purchase from the VRRA, simply email info@vrra.ca. Two passes are for the practice day June 8th, and the other two on Thursday June 11. Calabogie is an amazing purpose built racing facility, we HIGHLY recommend anyone considering attending this event enroll in one of the practice days at the earliest possible convenience, even after these four passes sell out.
Bullet points:
- All VRRA legal P4 machinery and bump ups are eligible for the Calabogie event.
-VRRA competitors only. You must hold a valid VRRA racing membership to be considered for either event. Single event VRRA racers will not be accepted at these event.
-registration is $240.00 CND. This covers the racer's entry into the pits plus one crew, transponder, track fees, Friday practice and all racing.
- If you intend to race, you MUST send an email to info@vrra.ca as early as possible to confirm your participation before the event with your VRRA racing number, name as it appears on your membership card, and membership number. You must be pre-authorized by the VRRA to race the event and you will be required to produce your VRRA membership card at registration, NO EXCEPTIONS! If you show up unannounced at the track, you are not guaranteed to race as the VRRA must provide a list to the organizers.
-Friday practice is mandatory unless you have extreme circumstances and have been on the Calabogie track before. This is a safety issue.
-usage of CSBK transponders is also mandatory for all track sessions. They will be issued at registration.
-registration opens Thursday evening, at track ONLY. There is NO pre-registration with CSBK
-every lap including the Friday practice and the Saturday's qualifying session is live timed, just like Moto GP. Any best lap time can be used as your Sunday grid placement time.
-we will practice as a single group, and race as a single group.
-Sunday's final grid will be set purely on lap times from qualifying, but each class will be scored separately. 1-3 will be awarded for each class.
-The use of Dunlop tires is NOT mandatory for the VRRA classes, but we should try to encourage Dunlop and Pro6 as much as possible.
- There is a sound restriction at Calabogie, make every effort to make your bike as quiet as possible, if you have been considering a re-pack, now is the time to do it. We will test at shannonville to give you an idea of where you stand.
That should cover the nuts and bolts of both events. Please bear in mind this is a unique opportunity to show off our club at a national level. Not only will these be very exciting weekends, but there will be a lot of eyes turned our way. Take the opportunity to answer questions, and shake some hands. You'll be surprised just how impactful your machine will be to a crowd of fans accustomed to seeing brand new rocket racers. Take the opportunity to put your best foot forward, and let's have some fun with it!

) we post our big grids, I'm certain they'll find a way to accommodate us. Same true with DB worries. Make sure your not excessively loud, and it'll all work out! I'm personally wicked excited for this round. It's gonna be a blast!
