Pismo Beach Race is coming like Xmas

[400exrider0004]

I plan on being there. I will be racing my red 06 450r #4. I will be racing in the ATV Sport Class and or Production Class. But I have a question, I race in local and state series but I havent raced in a WORCS series race. I talked to a WORCS official and she said I should race in either A or B. But I havent raced in a WORCS race so tell me what you think. Also I go to the dunes 1-2 times a month so im leaning towards the B class??????

Thanks and I am looking forward to the race!!!

Well, since Pismo Beach is the last race of the season, I would think racing B class would be recommended.

I believe once you race in a higher class, you need to continue in that class or higher... I believe you can not go from A class to B your next race.

Since you are not competing for points at this point, and since they hand out additional prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd... You may get something additional for that day!

If you race the B class, you can decide next year what class may better suit you to run.

I believe there are some great racers in the B class too.

Good luck!

When I was talking to the worcs lady she said that C class for that series are for true beginners, "people that dont have confidence" and I told her I have been riding for a while and she recommended A or B. Im just conteplating because I havent raced in this series before, and i dont want to have a surprise of getting beat extremely in the B or A class because all series are different. Also what class are you guys racing in?? Production, Open, Sport?? I need to know what the C class racers experience is.

Sorry for so many questions

LOL's... I personally think there are some "good" riders in C class too!

For some reason, this series called WORCS brings some great competition to the races.

Personally, I have been racing several years, but this is my first year of WORCS. I opted to start in the C class and see where that takes me. I feel comfortable in the C class, and I am having a blast meeting some good competitors!

I find the WORCS series to be a great circuit... I hope you too find it to be a great experience!

Ill probably go same route as you and race in the Production C and the Sport C and see what I should do for next year. Start out small and go bigger i guess. Thanks for your help, and Ill see you out there

I run Production A and Open A, I don't do very well, but I know exactly what i'm up against, and know exactly when i'm progressing.

In other words, why run a class that you think you'll do good in, and possibly Sandbag, when you can run a class that you'll do mediocre in, then you'll know you'll have to push yourself hard, and earn your placing.

My personal opinion. Some agree, some don't.

[400exrider0004]

I totally agree!!!! Actually I went from thinking about doing C class and realized the same thing you did. So I have decided to race in both Sport B and Production B, I cant wait!!! Thanks for your input!

If you are a guy whom rides alot - go b class - I know they posted the difference at the burnt ridge practice as B (amature) - don't hit doubles - a (expert) hit doubles - -and that's about true too - I race b class - and hit a few of the doubles -and did good ...I personally don't get to race alot and seem to do alright in the b class - and if you have a buddy going w/ you - check out the team race - -it's a fun race ...no contingencies....but a good time and only $20 each

Not that I disagree, but...

If you are a beginner, and you do not have experience passing someone, why put yourself in a position that you may not get the "full" effect of racing? (Thinking that you will get passed, and that you will make some passes).

Again, not that I disagree, because I agree racing with faster racers should make you a better racer by trying to keep their speeds and watching their lines.

Added note: As for me thinking about racing B class, I believe most of them "jump" pretty good, where I do not. Not sure if Pismo Beach will have jumps or not, but I would be affraid of some of the faster racers flying over my head! (Actually, something similar has happend with me in the C class)

Whichever class you decide, I hope you have a blast!

Well I look at it like this...If the race was at a MX track, and I had no clue on how the experience level is in each class(which I dont) I would enter C only because I havent had experience with this series. Now me and my family have been going to Pismo about once a month for about two years now so I am pretty confident with that terrain and anything thats thrown at me. So since I know the terrain I worry less about the experience of the other riders and I should be able to keep with them hopefully. So I think B class will be GREAT! And will see what happens Thanks again for everyones help!!

Also the Pismo race is more of a whoops, turns and straight away kinda race. Itll be fun!!
