dude...racing is VERY bling...you can put everything else aside like house, marriage, etc...so you can fund it...or get a sponsor.
as for 2K on a race bike or a well built track bike...not likely. they can part out a few things on the bike alone and get that.
have you tried the 3x forums yet?

if you want to race competitively in the 600 novice class with WERA, you need a newer very well prepped 600, a $2,000 bike probably won't do the job
the F3 is a great bike for racing in the V7 classes, grids are usually small and you don't race against newer 600s
you might also consider an SV, you can find a 99-02 race prepped for dirt cheap. They're bullet proof bikes and aren't expensive to race (tire bill is a good bit easier on the wallet than racing a 600). The grids are smaller but very competitive. The good thing about this class is that a 99 is just as competitive as an 06
whatever you decide check the WERA board for good deals on race prepped bikes
what do you need to know exactly?
basically you get your bike and gear, do a race school that gets you a "provisional" race license, then show up for a race weekend with a bright colored shirt over your leathers. Race the weekend (maybe 2 weekends depending on org/what school you took) without crashing and they'll give you a race license

No no no - easy killer.
No title means it's not important. Over my dead body would I ride/race someone's stolen bike, don't think so, vato. There are salvage titles, titles of destruction - whatever from state to state it's generally something like that. I don't care about that.
As far as $2000 going for a race bike, hahahaha - yeah, the ONLY thing I do know about racing it's the bikes and they're costly upgrades.
For example: wrecked 2003 600RR, forks trashed, frame/swingarm straight. Stator/clutch cover needs replaced. Needs all plastic and headlight assembly is trashed. Salvage title = $2000.
That would be great, haha.
Anyway, I can only get experience this year and all I need is a bike to do that. I can actually get competitive once I have a bike worth tossing racing equipment on. Anyway, I'll check the the WERA site for tracks hosting the racing schools like you were talking about.
Any specific tracks come to mind from the midwest? I've heard Mid-America more than a handfull of times but their site doesn't say crap. Thanks for all the help, guys.
And about the being broke thing, I'm always broke. Every time I get into something I spend every penny I have on it.
I might as well have something to, "show" for it other than a bunch of gadgets, electronics and motorcycles/dirtbikes. I'm seriously thinking about quitting my job and finding a low-paying job sweeping floors somewere near a decent track.

Also, should I start in a lower-cc class? Or should I just hit the 600's?
Hmm... seems like a stupid question but the funny thing is I don't know the answer...

So should I redirect my efforts to finding a 250cc? 125cc? I don't even know where to look for bikes like that (other than like an NSR or something). I can't seem to find it on the WERA site...

Haha - see this is what I'm saying...
I can't find any SV's for sale! I bet you know where you could find 4 of them right now, huh? Can you point me in a direction? I would love to ride a Honda but I just want to get there first, I can worry about Hondas when I can afford to be more choosy.
Any help on the race-prepped SV's?
