[NJ SpeedZone]

Haruki,

 

The tracks will be open for practice all of that week leading up to the race.

What motor will we be using for Can-Am Plus?

[Samiam]

Effective 4/1/16, at all IRRA^® Premier races the only motor permitted in the Can-Am Plus class will be: Hawk Retro.

[usadar]

Which rear tires are recommended on the Engleman and King?

Haruki

[John Streisguth]

Typically Kelly Retros work well on the Engleman, but for the last enduro race we used HVR soft Wonders, and they worked good.  

 

On the King, Thunders have worked well. 

[James Grandi]

The King needed Thunder medium last year. I don't think anyone got another tire to really hook up except that - also agree with VW that Kelly Retro is usually the go-to tire.

 

However, last year, the track became incredibly loose on race day morning and stayed that way for almost all of the Mains. Kellys were a struggle to be on. I believe Matt Bruce won the Can-Am race on JK treated.

[John Streisguth]

That's good info, James. I missed last year's Brawl, so I was going by what usually works for our season races.  

 

As always, it pays to think outside the box a little!  

[usadar]

I would like to know the store hours between October 30 and November 2.

[Danny Zona]

So with hurricane coming through my town I'm unfortunately not going to be able to make this race. Major bummer because I've never been so prepared for a race.

There is always next year though and hopefully I can make it.

Good luck to everyone.

[JerseyJohn]

Can we post the guide depth for the three tracks?

[RCG97]

JJ.

The braid depth on all three tracks is .025".

[elinsley]

I have a room booked from Thursday until Sunday. Anyone looking to split a room?

[JerseyJohn]

... Engleman is .020", King is .025". As told to me by the guys that win there.

[usadar]

I am sorry I cannot make it to the Fall Brawl this time.

Good racing to everyone.

Haruki

[John Streisguth]

Sorry to hear that, Haruki, you'll be missed!

[Noose]

Just a reminder, folks, that we change the clocks this weekend. "Fall Back" so you gain an hour!

[John Streisguth]

Yeah! I'm sure we could all use an extra hour of sleep Saturday night!  

[JerseyJohn]

Man, that's right up my alley LOL.

[Half Fast]

Jersey John knows sleep!
 
Cheers.

[odbuttgude]

Good luck to all the racers this weekend at the Fall Brawl. Really going to miss it and everyone.
