Racing my 1st Ninja 250

HotRedTurbo · August 10th, 2012, 09:53 PM

Hi, I purchased a 250 not too long ago for racing. I've already found and learned so much. I can't wait for my first race!

I have before and after pix of the bike. I took it apart with a friend last Sunday.

There were 3 250's at my last track day and they really looked like they were having a lot of fun! I'm sure you will also.

Yo HotRed!

You'll be lining up with me for your first race. We are Spec Class Racing on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/specclassracing

Your local neighborhood ninja enthusiasts. Have you done any of the SoFla Track Days? I think we will be at PBIR in late September. Be sure to look for us, we are usually right at the pit track entrance. Moto-Tech Racing, you'll see all the ninjas outside. Come by and pit with us, we can always squeeze in another ninjette under the tent.

I checked out the page. I'm new to this book of faces. Why can't I find a "friends" link on that page as well as others? I havn't done the SoFla Track Days. I've only been to JGP on my GSX R600. My friend just bought a 2011 ninja 250 and we are tearing that bike apart this weekend too. He raced CCS and was hoping there would be a good "250 class" since most races are local/closer. Can't wait to meet everyone and race!

We are averaging about 6 - 7 riders per event. They send us out with the sv's and the 175's. I'll tell you what... after every event we have other racers coming up and asking about the ninjettes. My buddy rents his 3 race bikes out at track days and "everyone" who rents them, wants to join.

I'm thinking next year we will definitely have a bigger field.

Sounds like a lot of fun! My friend and I are eager to start. We'll be at it again this Sunday to work on our bikes some more and watch the race.
