    anything to help keep some 2-Ss on the grid would be very much appreciatted... a bump up to 125cc and exclude GP based motors would get us there...

    We showed up. Granted, not every race, but it's been 2 very busy years with an end in sight.

    Dad is dying to build a motard based on a 125 mx chassis and motor. I believe he wrote you a request letter last fall about it. Those will go to 148 fairly easily. We could do a 250 even. I would like to race something that could win overall but I have little interest in racing a 4 stroke.

    a seperate unlimited-ish 2-S class to run with the evil 4-S superstock classes?

    I applaud CMRA's decision to create new classes to take advantage of new bikes rolling off showroom floors. Sure, it messes all of us up who love and race the 250, and I love me some f5, f6, f7 minis, but change is inevitable. With worldwide markets and high fuel prices expanding demand for <500cc sport bikes, with manufacturers stepping up to the plate, this guarantees our club's new racer appeal and longevity. I am actually stoked to see how fast a 500 can run.

    2 Questions for Walter:

    1. Now that we have a class for 500cc twins, and there are countless air cooled GS500 twins gathering dust in basements, can we get an exception to allow GS500 air cooled twins in the 300 class, or relax the 500 class rules to allow something more flexible than SS rules for air cooled twins? I can't foresee anything but a well built fuel injected CBR500R winning the overall championship next year.

    2. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can we stick to MSR-C 1.3 and the short course format at all other racetracks? PLEASE!!

    Peter

    you don't think the old ninja 500r would be competitive against the cbr500r?

    Don't forget KTM will be bringing the Duke 390 into the states next year. A KTM will be making a run at the overall.
