    Time for a new class of racing?

    thinkig with pre 83 pre 89 .. bears .. and with modern bikes beign what they are....

    How much interest would there be in a jappa class for 90s bikes? What would be the ideal bike to run in a class like this?

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    Just curious, how old were the pre89 bikes when the pre89 class first was introduced?

    In other words, what year did the pre98 class start?

    I think a pre 2000 class would be great.
    It'd get some very capable machinery out there.
    I call it like I see it. Don't take it personally.

    Pre89 was only just recognized last year as a legit class, you may need to be good at holding your breath!

    I guess I was thinking more of the club racing scene where the class has been going for longer, if I'm not mistaken.

    I'm not sure if cowboys were thinking about a new Nationals class or just a club class?

    Yep, correct, I won the class in the actrix series in 2006, and it had been run well before then too It may be a tight squeeze for many clubs to fit in another class, unless they combine.

    nationals doesnt need another class. yes I was thinking along the lines of club racing.

    merge with bears class? or start just in front of them

    Pre 2000 is a good idea at club level. Just gotta convince a club but combine it with BEARS sounds good...

    VMCC seems to be keen to try a new class each year, or at least the few years I've been participating their excellent series.

    Year 2009 we saw LG Superbike class then the 2010 Sidecar class, who knows what's coming this year?

    One thing you have to realise is that no one actually asks riders what they would like. A survey of riders in each series with some specific questions would be interesting. Too ofter ex riders and riders of different series have to much input into the rules. The nationals for instance..... Maybe they should survey the handful of riders that actually turn up what they think would work better and make it better for them rather than listening to people that dont turn up even when they change the rules

    While I probably could get down there, I suspect they won't let me enter without leathers?

    But cheers for heads up - is it gonna be on telly?
    and why aren't there more?
