Something like this was suggested in 2013 ..
Redesignate
Heavyweight Supersport to be Middleweight Amateur Supersport
Heavyweight Superbike to be Middleweight Amateur Superbike
Remove Heavyweight Endurance
Specifically
2.2.3.A - Middleweight Supersport rules stay the same
2.2.3.B - section is removed
2.3.2.1 - Middleweight Superbike rules stay the same
2.3.2.2 - section is removed
2.7.A - remove "Heavyweight"
4.2.A - Amateur definition (RoR restriction) is applied to Middleweight Amateur Supersport and Middleweight Amateur Superbike classes.
Reasoning -
- There hasn't been and are no "heavyweight only" bikes in the MRA (except for Cindy's) so the classes are duplicates of Middleweight.
- There are enough entries in the heavyweight races to warrant keeping them
- Designating these classes as "middleweight" is just acknowledging reality
- Making them amateur classes will expand trophy and contingency opportunities
