Protests for Ninja Ready To Race Class
Stock Ninja 300 model horsepower of 35 rwhp is the standard published issue. Motorcycles entered must not exceed this rating to race this class. This rating will be used as a guide, with a comparison of real time rwhp should a challenge happen. If a protest should occur, TPM will do everything to rectify a fair resolution and will take the following action.
Racers desiring a protest must do so by notifying a team official within 30 minutes of the race conclusion. The motorcycle under protest must temporarily be surrendered and will be physically checked over by a team official. The protest could conclude. If the protest continues, the challenger will post a $300 challenge fee, which TPM will test further for rwhp using a dyno.
TPM Ninja 300cc motorcycles will be used for comparison on the same dyno as the motorcycle in question. If the challenged motorcycle proves over the set rwhp, the challenging racer will keep the entire challenge fee, and the challenged racer will pay a $100 dyno evaluation charge. A revised race finish will be posted. The challenged racer will be disqualified from the race
If the motorcycle falls within the normal range of rwhp, the challenged racer will collect $200 of the challenge fee, and $100 will go to dyno evaluation charge. TPM officials have final say.

About
Club president Glen Goldman raced motorcycles starting at a very early age. Over 40 wins and a Championship in CCS in the 1990's, Glen went on to race Formula USA and select AMA rounds. Glen was chosen to race with Team Fast By Ferracci aboard a prepared Ducati 748.
GPMoto was originally an 80cc two-stroke spec series, where everyone rented and raced the same bike. Long story short there are no more bikes and now the series aides riders getting started racing on their own bikes and experts to get their skills to higher levels. Race GP Moto during select track days and you too could go on to having your own racing career or just stick around for the fun of it.
