i see one listed , but as per my previous posts i belive there is nobody in it? i d really like to run my kz, would i just get put into another class?
Rumor has it, that the Sportsman class is where this years hottest riders will be contesting for EMRA club glory and future SBK opportunities. The class is comprised of the worlds leading motorcycles...of 15 years ago...and the most talented riders of the last decade...or two, or three (or thereabout).
Anyone can run in the "regular classes" but it takes...well...a true sportsman to compete in the, uhm...sportsman class.
There are some guys from Grand Prairie bringing a couple of bikes down too, so make sure you come out one way or the other!
Sportsman, motard, formula gp, and now Vintage all on the track at the same time.
With that in mind the motards certainly aren't "pylons" as they are posting faster lap times than all but Ian and Dave.

He's on the forum under the name DrSuzuki real name Kent. PM him and let the benchracing begin!really? what kind? anyone know? gives me fuel to go that way with mine
Passing is fun and all but it would be nice to start the Sportsman, gp, vintage, ahead of the motards. They are the slowest machines on the track, I'm not saying the riders aren't fast or capable of decent times, but they make for a stupid mess of pilons at the beginning of the race. Imagine the frustration of starting experts behind a novice grid, then watching one or two of those pros, thread the needle off the start, leaving the rest of them to hesitantly, and curtiously, try to catch up passing moving obsticles while the leaders 'check out'. It happened to me last year, and it was frustrating to say the least. I know Ian's reponse to me asking why they started at the front was because they were faster than most, but their machines are definately limited and when it comes to the start of the race and the straight it sucks. I guess I would like to see the motards batlle amongst themselves and have to pass the slower 'street bikes' than visa versa.
To me it's simple when you look at the times the machines are capable of, why start the pilons at the front?
PS. no disrespect to any of you motarded riders, I'd really like to try it out sometime.
If you don't like to race with them, the solution seems obvious.
When I scrolled through last year's results I couldn't find a sportsman time that was faster than the fastest motards that's all.
