I think that was a typo. I think they were refering to the 2 classes. Although if it is a new class....cool!

Nope...definitely a new class for the 250 Ninja.  Should be ridiculous fun on the super cheap.

It would be nice to have another sportsman class but then again the grids aren't big enough to begin with.

Doesn't matter if they make it a 2nd wave of an existing race.  It's just another couple of bikes on the grid.  They can have thunderbike, sportsman, and lightweight thunderbike all on the grid together.

Shoot, bringing back the CCS Florida Vintage Series had more of a grid than thunderbike. Marc Miller even had money for the top three finishers.

I believe "Ultralight Thunder Bike" is designed around the Ninja 250 Spec racing.

Who's going to go out and buy a ninja 250 for one race, for all you shnit talkers I wanna see them on the grid . If you did any spec class it should be sv 650 and kawa 650 oh wait that was ultralight. As far as I can remember spec classes only last a year or two. Just change lightweight to what you all want anyway no ducatis no bimotas or change it to no italian no exotic no nutten unless its made in china and ebays out with a clean title for 28 bucks

WERA hasn't had a lot of success with their E superstock (Ninja250) class.  I agree with what you're saying, too narrow of a field.  But, if they run it with an existing class it doesn't take up track time and it's more entries.
As far as your other comment, I have no problem with a Duc 800 or a supersport prepped Duc 1000 but the Bimota needs to be indexed out of ltwtss and ltwt SBK.  They can run thunderbike, ltwtGP, GT lights

Marc the Kawi and SV are Japanese. The Chinese stuff just wouldn't be allowed(Fischer).

That would fall under the Bimota "You actually have to be able to buy one" clause.
