how long before a road racing series starts

It's got to be only a matter of time before BRP sponsors a road racing series for these machines. It would be great to be able to get F1 style nose cones with wings from the can am performance group.

I believe Doc and some others unofficially have had several road races. :clap:

Having been told of a couple of cross desert runs with throttles wide open for miles... Well, you get the idea.

I don't think the Spyder is really a safe track bike... In a controlled "paid for" track time environment... yes. In a 20 to 30 Spyder racing field... hell no. I'd hate to see a multiple spyder pile up on a track, that would hurt...Big difference between a crotch rocket low side and what can happen on a spyder.

I've gone into turn one at 90 mph with 25 400 pound shifter karts woo hoo

If you can't die doing it it ain't really a sport

Think lie down seating a harness and a couple roll hoops

A crash like this?

I asked BRP officials about a "SRL" ( Spyder Racing League ) @ Homecoming in '08 , the only response i got was a "dumb-founded look " and "lets see what you can put together and we'll talk" ... BRP is currently sponsoring the GNCC (offroad) and other events i'm sure (Seadoos & Snowmobiles) ...

I think if we could get a sactioning body such as the AMA or CCS(Championship Cup Series) or ASRA (American Sportbike Racing Assoc.) to allow us to give a demonstration of what the Spyder could do on a road course , We might have an opportunity to start up a series !! So many factors are involved its not funny ,,, getting the Spyder thru safety tech inspections ( could be easy ; if all spyders are "stock" minus the usual... exhaust , tires , suspension changes )( like Legend Cars), getting all ryders through a "race instruction school" that will issue the mandantory "racing licence" to be on the track , and many thousands of dollars later......we might have a chance

I think it will take other manufacturers producing some competition before we see anything like that, if ever at all.

I think it would be a cool idea, and you run the Spyder the way they are with minor mods only. It isn't motorcycle racing if there is no chance of crashing and getting hurt.
