    Eliminate Heavyweight Supersport and Heavyweight Superbike from the schedule.

    Rationale: Come on, HWSS = MWSS Part 2, HWSB = MWSB Part 2. Our schedule is too long and does not have enough contingent time should we need it.

    GSXR750, Panigale 899, MV Agusta F3, MV Brutale, possibly the new H2, plus some other bikes coming down the pipeline are pure HW bikes. Every club in the US has HW classes. The grids are large, manufactures and vendors pay great contingency, and every other club n the country has HW classes to support these reasons.



    If you want to get rid of a class that is 100% redundant............get rid of thunderbike. Hell we could get rid of one our two production cup races we have every weekend (these are EXACTLY the same.)

    I like our schedule, but looking to get rid of some great classes, with great races, so we can save maybe 15 minutes a day is a bad idea IMO. We could get rid of F40, cause it is just a repeat of.........or get rid of...........cause it is kinda like.........

    We could always just start the day 15 or 30 minutes earlier.

    We had a great time watching you and Pete battle all year but look at the grids or results and compare HW to MW. They are the same race. We should cater to the majority of OUR racers, not the random out of town guy with an MV Augusta. Panigale 899, MV Agusta F3, MV Brutale are all thunderbikes. No one has a GSXR750 (except maybe someone cheating)

    I never understood why we had production cup both days either...

    I'm open to other ideas too, I just don't want to be out there running superstreet in the dark or packing airfence in the dark. We need to do something.

    I think you have a good point, but this would completely shaft the couple of heavyweight bikes out there. Maybe eliminate HWSS and keep HWSB since they are almost completely redundant.

    Personally I don't think we need to eliminate any SUNDAY classes, since Sunday does not run long. (HW Superbike = OK)

    However Saturday often runs long, and I would support cutting HW Supersport from the Sat schedule in an effort to get Saturday back under control. Even though I run HWSS....

    Worst case I would support cutting both classes because I agree the heavyweight class is mostly dead. But Shannon pointed out, we're getting bikes on these grids.
