I am interested in getting into ridding again. It has been about 15 years since I was on a bike and I was wondering about classification for races and bikes? I don't really know where to start? Any help is appreciated.

Welcome back to riding. You can find the classes in the rulebook.. http://www.cmraracing.com/content.ph...Book&tabid=123
There are classes for pretty much any bike. The rule book will help you figure out what classes it works for. Before you race though you will need to take the cmra racing license school with lone star track days, ridesmart or fast line. Once you complete that you can apply for your prov nov license and start racing. Another pro tip, I would corner work or show up to a race weekend and hang out and see what it is all about. Getting your first exposure and seeing what it is like with out the added stress of riding is nice.
In Y'all's opinion what size of bike should a 43 year old rookie start out on?
Welcome to the forum. You are the perfect fit for F40... See you at the grid!
1400cc hyabusa....... I kid. I'd say ride whatever you did before, you'll be comfortable and there should be several classes you can run. What did you ride before?Quote:

Well, Pearson runs an xr1200, he's no spring chicken. +1 on the 250/300 route. Little bike would be good to dip your toes back in.
WELCOME BACK!
The rule book is a good source and so is the 2015 Class Courtesy Guide on the Forms page our race director Walter Walker puts together every year.
Ninja 250 fits into 4 classes/3 races on Saturday morning, ESS (E Superstock), ESB (E Superbike), ULWGP (Ultra Lightweight GP) and 500SS (500 Superstock).
500SS and ESB classes run together but are scored separately.
