Why is there not a GTO class for 1000cc bikes in F40?

[mtmansl]

Just wondering why there is not a class that allows 1000cc bikes for F40?   Just curious as I am 40 and have a liter bike and would love to run in F40.

Anybody?

Probably because there are so few racers over 40 with a liter bike is my guess.

[mtmansl]

I don't really see that...

Great, just what we need.  Now CCS will take this as we need another class in addition to our 65 other classes.

yeah, we need formula 55! LOL

What is the problem??  Why should 1000cc  fours be excluded from F40?  If you don't count GTO, there are only 3 classes that a 1000cc  four is eligible for, an addition to F40 would be one more.  Is that an unreasonable request?

I race F40 and don't have a problem w/ litre bikes joining the fun. Let'em in.

I'm up for a F40 Unlimited class. We could just race at the same time as F40 now but be scored as a unlimited F40 not with the regular F40 that has 750's, 600's and whatever else the allow.

I guess all three of you could have a good race.

You could do this or set up F40 with GTO, GTU and GTL.  Either way, 1000cc I4's should not be left out.

Seriously, do we really need another freakin class in the CCS structure?  Why is there even a F40 class?  If you're over 40 and are worried about tradin paint, then take up knitting or golf.  Total waste of a class and time on the track!

 There is a F40 because some guys over 40 for like to compete with guys around thier age. Me personally I don't care what age you are. When the flag drops I'm going to give it my all to win! For those of us that have big bikes generally only have 4 races on a normal weekend that we can do. F40 would give us another race. Sometimes we drive 9 hours plus and doing aonther race would be great. The F40 GTL, GTU, GTO is a great idea. They could all be ran at the same time so this would not take any longer then the F40 that is run now. Obviously you are not close to 40 so you don't give a crap but for those of us that are about to be 40 or that are already over 40 we do care.

[mtmansl]

Why do you even care?  You have made your opinion known twice in this thread.  Duly noted, move on, as there are obviously other people that would like to compete in a class that already exists...

looks like you ride a 1000cc twin, maybe they should get rid of the twins class too then you could just race it against the other liter bikes
