Roger Bonham is not racing this year. He and Matt always ran the same times as pro’s, as does Jake and Matt. It’s going to be the same talent level as last year, hopefully with more karts to race against.
I do not think we need to start splitting up classes.
I’d rather race with 25 versus 5. Combine it, learn how to pass and enjoy the experience!
Then you might be like the TaG Masters class, The class that the spectators love (other than the class their kids race in) and demand 20 lap mains.
in my opinion, there shouldn’t be a pro and novice stock moto class because honestly the stock moto class is basically becoming the next pro class as it is… because it is affordable, and shows what every racer really has in themselves, not their wallets. I think it is a great thing to be racing against people of “pro caliber” as you say it, because it makes you better. If you have people better than you it helps you strive to be as good as them and work harder to achieve that goal. Even as an entry level there are plenty of people to race against in the class, and at that point you should still be adapting to the class and should probably not be too worried about points anyways?
the CSC is fairly good practice for the national circuits, and i guarantee if you raced there it would be ten times more hardcore in a stock moto…
just my words!

We will have our stocker again. I don’t know how much Greg will drive it as he wants to concentrate on the Rotax. But then again, Jeff will be back after graduation and I know he would love to drive it.
The stock class is quickly becoming the “Pro” class around here. With Matt and others coming in, the talent level will be the highest of the shifters.
But this brings up a good topic, do you have to race for the “win” to have fun? We have often said that we would rather be in the middle of a big, high quality field than first of 3 or 4 guys. The one thing about a big field, no matter what your level, you have someone to race.
A small field just gets strung out and is little more than organized practice with a trophy at the end. A big field is where the fun is. The race for 10th can be just as fierce, or more so than the race for first. I hope the spec class gets huge.

Hence the reason TaG Masters is the most watched field. Great action, passing and sportsmanship.
