if someone is going to run C SBK as well as F1... and those classes qualifying will be combined. A good assumption would be that they will just carry over one Q time for both classes?
it seems like a really simple question but it feels like it has to be asked.
Coming up with the color schemes is the easy part. Making sure the system doesn't crash when two people with a #1 plate end up in the same race could be more work. It's a solvable problem though, it just needs to be solved.Originally Posted by Joseph Caruso
We also have a full year to figure all that out and update/change systems if needed.
Yes you’re right, it’s never been done. Should probably take a year or two to figure out how we do this.

At this rate I'll believe it when I see it :DHey, I'm retired
No doubt it can all be worked out with a bit of thought .... glad you're 'on the case', I'll relax and move forward to spectating
Our system will handle alpha numeric.

There is a problem with running F1 and C qualifying together.. What if someone has a 1k and a 600?? That would make qualifying a challenge for them.
Also, What if a 600 rides up in 1k classes? Couldn't someone on a 600 theoretically be a 1k and 600 Champ? I like our current system where someone earns points through various races rather than just focusing on a single class.
While I dont think we have anyone that would be in that situation now if it did happen then we would have to split that session.
There would be no issues with this. In fact there is a very good chance that it would happen.
No offence intended to our current and past #1 plate holders but the only way to win a real championship is through head to head competition. In our current system we seldom have that.

I don't either but it remains a high possibility. I'd prefer to do one session if at all possible!While I dont think we have anyone that would be in that situation now if it did happen then we would have to split that session.
That is a very good point but we already have championships in every class. The overall is a nice way to recognize good performance over multiple classes. Theoretically any expert could compete with anyone that is in the running by buying a bike that fits in the classes their competitor is running.
I agree with Jordan on this. The way it is set up now honors class champions and the #1 plate honors the most dominant over all irregardless of class. Cleland came in and took #1 from Daniel, and so can anyone else that is that dominant. However, Daniel was more dominant overall this year than David and Doug or anyone that competed in his/her respective multiple classes. He was not faster, but more dominant overall. I like that. David and Doug were awesome, but did not dominate their respective races as Daniel did. Again I like that.
Taking away F40 and rookie expert classes makes this an honor for over all dominance on an even playing field.
As a past #1 plate winner (never got a #1 plate trophy and kinda bummed about it lol) I personally like one #1... It kinda would seem like a participation award to have more than one #1... If someone wants a number 1 on there bike then they can race any class, I raced and won 9 class championships to win mine. Not saying you have to do that to win but.... Just my opinion.
But lets not leave out those Saturday Racers anymore!
I think it would be good to give points for small bike classes, and combined novice/expert classes. i.e.Classic, modern classic, f3...
