      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi folks,<br />
<br />
   Now that I&#039;ve signed up for the race school I need to get the exhaust sorted on the bike. I&#039;ve seen pics from past events of Daytona 675&#039;s with what seem to be aftermarket exhausts. Can anyone share what it takes to get such a bike/exhaust combo below the sound threshold? I&#039;ve got a full Arrow system for my &#039;06 Daytona and it would be a shame to have to switch back to stock. Also, is there sound testing at the Abbotsford training? It would be great to know if the bike is...<br />

I want to get into racing this year and was wondering if there was anyone I can hire the Surrey/Langley area that can go over my bike and set it up for racing.<br />
<br />
I have a 2008 Yamaha R6 - Canadian Edition about 45,000kms on it<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I know this has been brought up many times before, but I&#039;m wondering what the plan is for novices this Sunday.<br />
<br />
Last race day there was a shortage of newbies, so we were put into the F118/F115 class (F115 which I myself did not race, but other novice(s) did).<br />
Speaking for myself alone, the F118 race was the most intense, enjoyable, and valuable learning/racing experience I have had thus far with WMRC &amp; racing in general.<br />
I can&#039;t quote anyone, but other novices I spoke to felt the same...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well, I&#039;m still track-bike-less as I&#039;m deciding which lightweight bike to go for my first racing year. One person recommends a 300 Ninja, which does look tempting as it gets rave reviews for its chassis and handling. Plus it has fuel injection and a slipper clutch. Another person recommends a 250 since there would be more racers to race against and the 250 class will still be around for a few more years yet. So, does anybody have any advice as to which way I should go?]]></content:encoded>

<br />
Some background:<br />
1. Best lap at the Ridge was 2:05<br />
2. Took Level 1 &amp; 2 witih California SS<br />
3. I ride a track prepped 08 R6<br />

I know it would be beneficial if I go with the 250cc class however I invested too much money...<br />

Does the bike have to be an ex250/zzr250 or cbr250?<br />
Can you run with no fairing at all, just number plates?<br />
I understand it is supposed to be a stock engine.. is that still the case? I read something about more slack rules so we could get some seattle area riders involved..<br />
Other than the engine does anything else have to be stock?<br />
Do you need/recommend an speedo/tach?<br />
