What is WERA?
WERA Motorcycle Roadracing offers a thrilling experience that allows riders to safely tap into the full potential of their machines, free from the constraints of street riding. Participants can enjoy the power and handling their motorcycles were designed for, without concerns about speeding tickets, traffic hazards, or the unpredictability of public roads. WERA membership comes with valuable benefits, including limited excess accident insurance while racing, discounts at participating shops and businesses, and access to various programs and awards.
WERA prides itself on fairness and equal competition, with well-formulated policies, rules, and class formulas to ensure a level playing field. The organization welcomes participation from contingency program sponsors and race teams, but its management remains independent, prioritizing fairness for all participants and the overall health of the sport.

Established in 1973, WERA has played a significant role in expanding road racing into regions where such programs were previously non-existent. Moreover, the organization has maintained an exceptional safety record, reflecting its commitment to the well-being of riders.
WERA races a wide variety of motorcycles, with classes based on factors like engine size, experience level, and specific motorcycle models. This diversity accommodates riders of all skill levels, from novices to seasoned professionals, making WERA a dynamic and inclusive platform for motorcycle road racing in North America.
