Hello Everyone!
after having a blast on my RC390 at IMI Motorsports recently i am seriously considering getting into track racing. this is the first bike i've owned, and also my first time racing said bike, so i have a few questions.
my plan is to join the production class, which doesn't allow any changes to the motor except for exhaust. it does allow unlimited changes to the body, and suspension if i understand correctly. so my questions are:
-am i blowing smoke and should just do track days? my 2nd time at IMI i got a 1:16 w/o knee dragging, but i'm not sure how that time fairs to other RC riders that actually race.
-what mods with the RC are crucial to be in competition with other bikes in the 400cc class?
-what tires would you suggest?
-replacing the rear suspension seems to be a given, but what about the front?
- if i leave my bike relatively stock do i stand a chance?
- what would be the estimated cost to race my bike for the season, excluding the mods needed for the bike.
any additional advice or needed mods would be much appreciated!
