Rybo and I were just talking about this...

What if we re-branded them as:

Race of the Rockies Middleweight Superbike

and

Race of the Rockies Open Superbike

That would keep the classes recognizable to the contingency payors, as well as allow us to put the MRA ROR purse ON TOP of the manufacturer contingency.

That would be a decent payout on most weekends (assuming the manufacturers come back with their $$).

Qualifying would remain in place, classes would be 14 laps, surcharge applies to grow the payout.

Two concerns:

One is that some of the MWSB guys may opt out which would cut overall entries and payout.

Two is that ROR is a revenue-neutral class for the club - which means that we pay back out all that we take in. Even if it went away altogether, there would be no net loss to the club. OSB and MWSB are revenue-positive for the club. By doing this we are essentially taking two revenue streams away from the club.

Thoughts?
