...hold up there Trigger, you missed last week’s discussion.And a +40C class with guys that don't do big jumps would excite him much more....... and come to think of it, I was the first to mention it....
<v:shape style="width: 24pt; height: 24pt;" id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="">.... I think it would be wise to split up the age classes into A-B-C as much as possible. At a bare minimum A/B is one group and C (non triple) a second group.
</v:shape>Oh for sure. We ran a 30+ C back in the day. I will have an official class list this month. As far as the no tripling. I don't know about that. I Will consider it.
Randy just called.....wants to sign up "sport" too.....Now what is the plan when Rocket, Silvers, and Zman all sign up for "sport" classes?
That all sounds good with starting early and getting limited amount of practice on Sunday morning! You could always go with 4 lap first motos and see how fast it goes..... and if it goes quickly with no added stops, make it 5 for the second motos! It would be the opposite of other tracks now, 4 laps first moto plus lots of docking around and we're running late so we go to 3 lap second motos since it's late and we kept people here all day!
Agree. 4 lap motos would be an 8 minute race. At least in Gonz times.4 Laps for youth classes,
5 laps for adult classes,
15 min. + 1 for pros (8-9 laps)
Now what is the plan when Rocket, Silvers, and Zman all sign up for "sport" classes?
Not sure if this was mention but when I use to run the C class they would put us on the gate with the A/B guys. One gate but score the C class seperate.
1. This allows for full gates
2. This gives the C guys a chance if they want to see what the pace is like with the faster A/B guys. (Which the goal of C Class is to move up)
3. Also the C guys can still get 1st , 2nd , and 3rd places ect....
4. And the most important thing is this allows them to see what is going on in front of them to hone there own skills and improve there riding.

Wulfpack, you guys better check your drinks!!!
JO, Careful staggering Vet C with faster classes. You dont want faster guys lapping into a C class.
I have never raced there and the track is pretty long, but....
At Daniel Boon they sent us off. +45 then sent the 250B class off and they were way in the mix of the 45 class
Wulfpack OUT!
This might be true when you are young but as a VET C rider I have no desire to ride faster. I'm just in survival mode!!!Not sure if this was mention but when I use to run the C class they would put us on the gate with the A/B guys. One gate but score the C class seperate.

So is this 2 stroke class out or what? You have to run a 2 smoke class.
I'm sure that being loosely associated with the Pit Posse doesn't lump Rocket Sr into the A/B class........LOL. After all, he is the reason that Sharc and I were debating where to put a guy like him! He'll be excited and I asked him directly what he'd rather ride....... and +40C (didn't use sport in my question) was his answer over a +50 class that would have guys like Sharc that can ride BC at a very fast pace.
Based on the comment you made about him not wanted to race with guys he didnt know jumping the bigger jumps, I think 40+ Sport would be his class.
