so... are you saying a Solo 30 for F5 and one for F4?
or, just a 6 lap sprint a piece?
i have to say, as a parent that is looking to get his kid a fair amount of seat time without getting him killed by an over zealous 250, anything less than the Solo 30 is hard to get too excited about...

I've contacted Kawasaki several times about this and I have received the same response every time "not interested".
F6 and F7 run at the same time as F5 so they don’t take up any extra time in the schedule. Low entries in a class that is paired with another class with good entries doesn’t cost us time or money to keep it going. There was a time that Clubman only had 1 or 2 entries per event and we didn’t get rid of it. Wait don’t you race clubman Jesse?
Yeah, i do, and im really disappointed that more people dont enter it also. i think Formula rules would help this class...
but i will be the first to agree if that class gets the axe also due to poor entries.
i just realized i have been a little thick in the latter parts of this discussion...
if anything further could include a crayon drawing i would greatly appreciate it...
anyway...
i do not like getting rid of the F7 and F6 classes just because those really are the starting blocks for the little dudes... but, even if they were removed, it would not change what i would put my kid on the interest of learning how to race safely...

I do like Jesse's Ninja Cup idea.....reminds me of the XR1200 series or the CAMMRA XR100 spec classes. Ninja Cup could become CMRA's spec class, a middleground between the MiniGP spec classes for kids and the AMA XR100 spec class for serious racers. I know Kawa would likely be tough to talk aboard, but if it was truly a spec class of only Kawa bikes, it may help open them up.
An interesting read, the article starting on pg 26 about CAMMRA's XR100 class and it's benefits to new riders, building skills on slower stock bikes that are low maintenance and cheap to race. Seems to me that a Ninja spec class would be kinda the same thing for adults as this class is for kids....
Next Moto Champion - July 2012
Maybe we could pool resources from a DFW/Austin/Houston Kawi dealers to put up a cash purse and discounts on motorcycles/parts to racers wishing to compete....
Along those lines, Jesse, I was thinking some sponsor dealers and shops could kinda have a fixed-price or discounted race-prep package, everything you need to go from the dealer floor to the track.....safety-wiring, track fairings, etc. Makes it as simple as possible, introduces those new racers to those shops where they can continue to get service. It's not something that would go together overnight, but with the right attitude, I'm sure something could be made that would be beneficial to everyone.

If the rules made sense I would've run the entire season. I know of at LEAST 2 others with the same mindset.
