How fun!  That's awesome!!!  Too close to the old due date to go to, though.   :(

I think the Blackhawk series is a good idea, too, rather than track championships.  So far, on paper, things look like they could be better than I've seen since we've started.

Are you reading something different than me?

Not much has changed.  But if you win the Blackhawk Championship, you get no return on that investment as I'm reading it.

Points change was long over due.  Change for number plates was over due too.

tep ten plates are given out by points X PI.   thats a big change.

35 point system.  that a big change.

Blackhawk farms championships  not just 1 am and 1 ex.   It says there 40 class champion trofies for the two tracks.   so you can race only blackhawk and get a top ten plate ?  dont understand all of this yet.

I don't think so...

I'll race you...I don't have any either.

The question I have is that it's on the 7th...Sunday...

So, a 200k race along with the other fifty events...

What I read said there was no more track championship, but there were class championships at Blackhawk instead so there's a mini Blackhawk series.  No, no more free entries, but, I think a mini-series is more fun anyway.  

Also, what I meant about "on paper" was changes as a whole--point system, track stuff, etc.  You could just tell that something had to change here.

I don't think there will be number plates just for BHF.  I think it's just class champs.

You're right.  Class and overall champions at Blackhawk and Summit.  No free entries.

solo challenge is for 1 person, no rider change needed
great track time, its own race within a rac, not scored overall

yea but do you still need the scorer and the pit board guy ?
Title: Re: Team Challenge at Blackhawk
Post by: Super Dave on December 16, 2005, 12:08:48 PM
CCS has always supplied the scorer.  Pit board?  Well, yeah, you'd need someone to help with that if you wanted one.
