either way, as said, it is all theoretical until we hit the full track and actually see first hand what the difference will be. west loop, other than one section i think the 600 had the advantage, but throw in the extra straights with the east side and who knows.
the big thing i think is this, will more riders compete in the sbk if it is split up into the 600's and 1000's. feeling they have a better chance. if it does that is a good thing. instead of having maybe 15 bikes on track, we can up that number to 20-25 that would be awesome, making it cheaper to hold that race. that does effect the sbk numbers, as i dont see that many riders jumping onto 1000's to replace the lost 600's.
but run the grids either mixed expert/intermediate like mission and calgary(pretty sure i remember rob saying they ran mixed) or do combined grid scoring the 600's and 1000's separate.
i personally like the idea of running expert/int combined, was a lot of fun in mission. helps the faster intermediates learn from the experts and would make for nice big grids.
