Re: 2021 Senior / Masters Roll Call

For a full season you'll need 2 sets of tires @ ~$275-$300 (so call it $600) and about 5L of fuel per day (so about $6), and I think about 2L of oil for the season - about another $50. Should be good if you start with a new chain and sprockets, but maybe add another $100 for that - so assume approx ...

Re: Race position board

Just to close off this discussion - the exec team decided to keep it on race control/timing due to constraints on time and the work required to install on the infield.

Re: Race position board

Re: What tires do you have left ?

Hows this for the 2021 season: We'll run open - choice of Vega/Mojo/Maxxis/Le Cont Fred to determine the spec tire that will be used for ROK Cup - if you want to qualify for t...
