Hello all,
I have been thinking about getting involved in two wheeled racing for a while and I am seriously considering getting my feet wet this year.
Little bit of background about myself, I'm in Saskatoon and I've been involved in local auto racing of some sort or another for the last 15+years, this past season my co-driver and I took home the ACMS track championship in mini. I tinker with and ride older street bikes and do some dirt biking, but I've never turned a lap on a motorcycle so I would prefer to start with something very entry level such as the 250 cup class. Which leads me to a few questions:
How well attended is the 250 class? Is there much interest or is it purely a stepping stone for the larger bikes?
I'm on the wrong side of 200lbs, likely be around 190-210lbs for summer, is that a pretty big strike against racing a lower HP machine like the 250?
Is there a different bike/class I should look into that would be a good alternative entry level class?
Any insight/advice/information is much appreciated
