I’m only in to my second season, but they are into the 12th year/season for this class. We have 5 rounds a season with each round having a practice/qualifying session followed by 4 sprint races (6 laps). At each round, one of the races is a ‘Le Man’ style start which is fun. One of the rounds will also include a 1hr endurance race that can be riden either solo or with a partner that you swap with at 30mins. Race tracks are few and far between in New Zealand, so 4 of the rounds are held at the same track with 1 round being at another track 3.5hrs drive away. Other classes also run on the same day.
The aim of the class is to keep it cheap and fun and to get young racers started, give old hats a class to get back into racing as well as everyone in between looking for fun. So the bikes are stock and must run road legal tyres – no tyre warmers allowed. No mods to engine, suspension etc. Just remove road gear, lock-wire and go racing. You can add braided brake lines, fork fluid weight/vol is free to change, jets are free to change and thats about it. Because it is cheap to race, the field is large, which means there is lots of fun to be had! Doesn’t matter if your in the top 10 or last 5, there are battles to be had everywhere! You can pick up a race ready bike for between NZD$1,000-$2,000. I’m not sure what the numbers were before I joined, but last season there was about 40 of us, this season there is 50 – the track limit.
Look up ‘CTAS Live’ on Youtube – he live video streams the races and leaves them on his channel. Next round is 20th November.
