So I have gotten the itch to do some vintage road racing. I have done a couple track days over the years but that is all. I would be building a KZ750 twin overbored to 906cc. After talking with a guy racing one in Canada I think I can get the weight down to 350lbs with 80-85HP. The classes I would be looking at would be WERA Vintage 4, or ARHMA Superbike - heavyweight.
Right now I'm leaning more towards WERA because it seems like the class rules are a little more lax, and this bike might be competitive in that class. In the ARHMA heavyweight class I would be significantly outgunned on power because I would be racing with the KZ1000 and other big 4s. Also a big part of the ARHMA superbike class is to preserve the look of the era. which they are pretty strict on. I understand the desire for that, but that is less appealing to me.
Thoughts on the two organizations?
