Gotcha… 😀
I “tinkered” so much last weekend (and most of the season), I didn’t have hardly any time left over to watch the other racing. :idn:
Everything I’m reading about in this thread backs up why I’m a big fan of Spec Class racing.
For a class to work it has to have the 3 “F’s”
(Fast, Fun and aFfordable)
I think we all have been through “checkbook racing” and let’s face it,
old ass national bank (the back pocket) can only take so much.An excellent example of true spec. class racing was in STARS this year in the Easykart Class.
The ONLY mods allowed on the karts where:
1. Change color of body work.
2. Change size / style of seat (no carbon fiber seats allowed)
3. Change steering wheelNo pills on the front end, no trick items anywhere, all stock items on
the kart. (And a tech team to make sure this was the case)
Race director called for what the rear gear would be for the race and
that’s what everyone ran.
(See STARS website or http://www.bretgalegorracing.com for the STARS rules)
So it came down to THE DRIVER !
And the racing was normally less than 1 second from 1 place to last place.
Bottom line: Great racing…. Fast, Fun and aFfordableJust wanted to throw my opinion in…
It seems to me (after getting thouroughly worked over my first season in 125 Novice shifter) that a stock moto class would have been a better place to start.
As far as a new class- I don’t think we need one, stock moto= novice, everybody else that’s not pro= S2. We just need to agree on a reasonable level of tinkering….(the hard part).
As a side note- I had I GREAT time racing this year! You guys put on a great series- I’ll definitely be around next season…
