Thanks for the info, Dave.  I thought I remembered it being that way a long time ago.  Low grids being the norm lately, I don't understand why that isn't revisited.  I'll be 35 in two weeks.  That being said, I'd love to be able to flog the old Duc in F40 class.  And I bet there's a few others that feel the same way. 

Do you know why there was a shift away from that mindest?
I don't think it attracted a lot of riders in the way F40 in its current form has.  I wouldn't recognize how expanding it would necessarily result in more entries in F40. 

With the small grids, were you entering unlimited classes?

It's allowed in Unlimited.  I almost won ULGP on my gay SV1000 in 2007 at Gateway.  Definitely not as cool as anything Ducati.  Go race, dammit!!!  :)

Well, unlimited bikes have always been limited because of various expenses first.  So, that population is smaller than MW & HW guys and then the LW guys.  To exclusive idea for a class.

From a dollars and cents point of view, it seems that there are more Middleweight bikes out there than Unlimited. If Unlimited machines are used then I would venture to say that the middleweight guys won't even bother try. I would be curious to see how many middleweight riders there are now and how many of them will not race F40 with the inclusion of the Unlimited bike.

Right now for us folks in Florida the F40 race gets a little hairy with what appears to be a higher occurence of red flags. Large field, bigger bikes, to me means more incidents can happen.

I guess though if it an all new class within the F40 group that may be a different story.

I'm sorry, I didn't clarify. I mean run them at the same time as the F40, just score the Unlimited as a diff class.  Maybe start them in the first wave?  I dunno just grasping at straws here....   I just really wanted to run F40.  I don't think I'm going to have extra coin for another bike. It seemed to me
they had space on the grid for more bikes
