The first being 125 Novice (8 entries) and 125 Fat boys (10 entries). The next is to run Junior 1 and Junior 2 together. Again, the fields aren’t very big and they run close to the same lap times. Somebody is going to have back markers, but it really makes no sense to put different types of classes together and different age groups together.
Novice 125 and senior/heavy 125 did run together. In terms of lap times, the junior 2 kids were closer to 4 cycle senior than junior 1 (Which I find odd but I have the final laps times in front of me!) Junior 1 had 16 racers and a lap time spread (fast to slow) of 9 seconds per lap. We should add the junior 2 to them? There were only 4 junior 2 racers. We can not put them out by themselves, it adds too much time to an already cramped schedule. Who do we put them with? Where would you put them? If the 4 cycle senior drivers can practice on the track with juniors and not hit them, why can’t they race with them?
By the way, the shifter classes were short changed in the finals. All our races were shortened to 15 laps. The 4 cycle senior class got more laps than anyone. The day is already too long when you have to cut laps from some of your largest classes! We should have cut the laps from the smaller claases so that the bulk of the racers got what they paid for.
The two largest classes are the Pro 125 and the Junior 1, both with 16 entries.
In the finals We had a total of:
46 shifters
41 Tag
42 4 cycle junior and clutch, of which 30 were in junior 1 and kid karts.
