Just my thought... But I think opening the sportsman class to 5 years defeats the purpose. If you want to open it up more, consider maybe 8 years instead. The added 2 years will open significantly more bikes without losing the purpose of the race class. And a side note: That class does have issues running in a mixed grid, as the riding styles and lines are much different, but we are at the same laptimes, thus affecting the placings in eachothers class often.
Another... The women's open can be run with another open class, rather than a restricted class. Maybe senior open, another open class.
I'd like to see senior open become a 40+ class, similar to other clubs, a senior race.
Just some thoughts.
Dont worry. We dont like riding with U either ;-)
If we have a additional 5 or 6 Motarders(Like Chuck says) Couldnt we have a strictly Motard race?
Id have no probs with with the Womens Open in the Seniors race.
