Clubman
Clubman Racing
Clubman racing has been designed to allow riders to try their hand at racing without having to have a dedicated race bike, or make major modifications to their street bike. Clubman racers must complete a New Racer Certification with UtahSBA, or with a recognized other club (such as MRA, WERA or CCS). To be eligible to race Clubman, you cannot have raced as a Novice with the UtahSBA or another club. There are no classes in Clubman, all bikes race together, and riders are only allowed to participate in three (3) Clubman races before being required to move to Novice Class.

Licensing
For 2007, PC-MoM will have three license categories: Clubman, Novice and Expert. If you race MPRA in 2006, you can not race Clubman, you can compete as a Novice, and you may petition for an Expert license if you meet the minimum requirements in Chapter 4 (see 4.3.3). Also, in 2007 all racers will be required to purchase a 2007 PC-MoM racing license and an AMA membership. Licenses will be available on line at www.utahsba.com by March of 2007. AMA memberships currently are $39/year and may be purchased online at www.ama-cycle.org. Please see Chapter 4 of the rule book for more information on licensing.
Nearly all street/road/roadrace motorcycles are eligible, with just a few modifications. Inline-4 600's (R6, GSXR 600, Ninja, 600RR) are most popular.
To prepare your street bike to race Clubman, you must (for full details, see Chapter 13 of the rule book):
- Remove all mirrors
- Tape or remove all other lights (masking tape is ideal)
- Bike must have bar-end sliders
- Put your racing number on the front and both sides of the tail section using 7-inch tall numbers. *You are not required to have a number plate, but the numbers must be clearly visible. It is best to purchase numbers at a local motorcycle shop, although tape can be used successfully.
- Any antifreeze in the bike must be thoroughly flushed out and replaced with water. Additives like Redline Water Wetter may be added to the water, but absolutely no glycol (i.e., antifreeze, Engine Ice, etc.) is allowed on the track.
- A 3 quart catch pan must be installed in the lowers. An aluminum roasting pan may be used. Racing specific body work should pass this requirement.
- Oil drain plug must be secured with silicone/RTV
- Steering dampers and frame sliders are not required but are strongly encouraged
- Have the bike in good working order, which includes:
- Neat and clean
- Good tires, properly inflated; must have valve caps
- Good brakes
- Good chain, properly adjusted
- Nothing loose
A motorcycle may only be entered in a class in which all eligibility requirements are met. If a motorcycle is entered in more than one class, it must conform to the requirements for each class in which it is entered. It is the racer's responsibility to only enter classes in which his or her motorcycle is eligible.
