    Shouldn't we be encouraging more riders out on the racetrack?
    It would be great to have pre82,89,95,99 etc in one race and same for juniors in another if the fields would warrent it and they prob would BUT you now got to convince every racer to knock a lap off every race to fit in another class or maybe just 1race(longer per event).I already look at the amount of time per buck at the events.Or do you dump clubmans and tell them to enter the class there bike qualifies in.

    Well...lets spend a good bit of time having serious debate about this "new" class. Get an idea of the number of riders. Work out some rules to try and keep the racing interesting and costs realistic (just like pre-89 and I didn't use the word 'cheap'). From my perspective there are certain classes that consistantly have very few bikes entered so they're voting with their feet anyhoo. If there were 20 riders who say they'd 100% compete in this class then it's a simple numbers game....you drop or merge classes where there are say...6 bikes circulating.

    If club racing events are continuously over-subscribed then that's a good thing. You can always split events. The new class should be intended to attract new racers, not further fragment the existing "pool" of riders.

    Which ones Stevey ? PC usually has 28 - 32 bikes.
    Clubmans only has 18, so some room for more there.

    But as Mossy says, if you increase PC entries with PPC then some existing PC racers will get pushed into Clubmans. Not a win win.

    Do you mean hold more events ? Who is going to run these extra events ?

    Then let them enter Clubmans if they want to get into racing.

    There is no way I want my track time reduced bro. I am not into cross entering to get more track time - if anything, I would rather have a little more track time in my particular class.

    If there's enough demand then supply always follows.

    Part of the attraction of racing is "what class will I take this bike into after clubmans". Mossey is bang on about clubmans needing points tho'
