Sweet baby jebus.....don't feed the trolls. That's rule #1.
I'm still really liking the curb appeal of the suspersport "ride one off the street" class. It'll take some time to gain traction, but if we still had that rent a wreck 636, the misfits would be in!

Racing is serious business, you know with all these full time racing contracts up for grabs and all.
I think you're the only one I can think of who doesn't have fun doing this. Again, you should reread some of these posts again and think of why that class is there to begin with.
Honestly, I'm just baffled now.
Track days are what you should be doing if your in it just for fun.
If youre in it because you want to get better and strive to win, then racing is for you.
Racing is about trying to win, not trying to have fun. Fun is the bi-product that keeps you going when you suck and can't win.

For some. I race cuz it's fun. Winning is a byproduct which makes it more fun. If the effort required to win starts taking from the fun, I'm done

We'll have to agree to disagree. First two races of the season and I haven't even sniffed the podium. Battling for 14th at Tws was a hoot. The guys who take it all serious and want to only win never last...........ever........
Unless they win...
...or they start racing cars.. Lol

And soon after, they quit cars...
YMMV
They won't be competitive for the overall, but being it's own class they can get a class podium. If it gets more bikes on the grid, awesome.
True...but only one bike raced in the class at TWS. Showing up and getting first is cool but also rather meaningless and not typically why people go racing.
The team actually was fairly competitive overall at 10th so they might have won even if there were others in their class, but the class needs to grow to at least a handful of bikes to make it actually "racing" and attract others.
Class wins absolutely mean something if the class is big enough where there is real competition. For example, I think there were 16 or 17 bikes in the E Superstock Endurance race at Houston. The class winner was 15th overall but I guarantee you they felt like they were racing and it meant something to win that class.
Obviously the class doesn't have to have 16 bikes in it to make it worthwhile..but it definitely needs more than one. Hopefully a few more will grid up for the next one in this class.
