SRL ... Spyder Racing League

I would like to see how much interest we can generate about a Spyder Racing League ! how many owners would be interested in racing their Spyder on a road-course ...

Sounds like a plan!

I am interested in learning more about this idea. I am sure there are a whole lot more questions than answers right now though. Such as will my insurance company drop me if I participate, and will BRP void my warranty?

If it was a real league with real prizes etc. I would be purchasing a new spyder and just doing performance mmods on it.

That would make sense as well. I guess I need to think outside the box a little more.

[docdoru]

Any time

[StriperKing]

Sounds good, just need to figure out how to squeeze a kawi 1400 in there.

[Barbary]

Any time

I knew u'd say that doc....

I have been wanting to go to Sac city speedway or infinion raceway on a track day to see what I could do on a road course with the spyder. May have to look into it a little more, you have revamped my interest

[patches]

I thought the local LEO's and Highway patrol already thought I started one..hehe. Count me in..we need to take the bikes up to VIR..went last year, lots of fun.

[altonk]

I'm there

[Raptor]

I'm with Bullet24. A new platform would definitely be in order. There would probably have to be different classes as well. Stock, modifieds, and then perhaps an "unlimited" class, where anything goes! This sounds like fun...

[sylblk]

Good question. I have a friend who races classic sports cars at both tracks. I could bounce a question or two off of him and see if he can provide some input. I do know that a typical track day at say Infineon or Thunder Hill usually runs about 250 - 300 bucks a day, but I'm not sure they would know how to deal with Spyders as they usually require instructors to be present to give you some mentoring before they turn you loose. The instruction focuses more on the technical aspects of the track itself, where the flag stations are, where potential trouble spots are and so on. But there is an inspection process of the vehicle that you intend to put on the track, so there is where the problem may occur. But let's see what can be done...

To get a sanctioned league started would require much more effort. You know, there was a gentleman who raced sidecars that checked in on this site and introduced himself etc. Perhaps if we could find him he could provide some insight as well...

Sounds like a plan, I am close to infinion and used to live in napa for almost my whole life. Hey, and we wouldnt even have to remove our pesky kickstands like the 2 wheel folk

Hey Patches, did you run your Spyder at V.I.R.? That would be amazing! V.I.R. is a fantastic facility. If you did I would really like to hear about your experience there...

[Magic Man]

We're in!

[Bob Denman]

Any time

If Doru the Destroyer and Al are in, we'll need a class for the , and then one for the

[Dochands]

I'd be interested as well.

Are you talking about something along the lines of Auto-X Racing? A closed course usally set up on a back runway... racing against the clock kinda thing.

That would be pretty cool

[SethO]

I am, of course in for any racing that can be done. set something up in area of spdyerfest this spring.

[Lone Spyder Ryder]

I would like to try it. would be fun

If you are thinking road course with the spyder, better look at putting a hand brake on the bike. I was on a road course (Mosport Park) in Ontario Canada for a couple laps (pace) with the spyder as part of a BRP sponsored event. Some tight corners the forces did not allow real good brake application. I think with hand brake it would be a blast, but with the stock foot brake your asking for trouble.
