CCS/Florida will now run the 500 Supersport (Combined) class at all events.
It will run in race #16 with Lightweight Superbike (EX/AM Split).
Thanks Henry
Very cool
Just acquired an '05 EX. If all goes well, I will see you guys in February.
Oh yeah, about february.... :biggrin: High side on an SV the first practice of the year left me with two broken wrists, broken thumb, torn pec and detached lat.
So back to the 500SS class. I was told it was a two year experiment, so what's the verdict? Will it be around next year?
I sure as hell hope so!!! I remember that 2 year thing also,and got a little concerned. The true LW/LW classes/grids are finally growing up here,so it would be a damn shame to get rid of it now.
I received responses from Kevin Elliot and Henry D that the 500SS class will be offered again next year for CCS and CCS Florida.
Personally I think 500ss should be removed. My teammate ran it for 2 years (not full seasons) on his cbr500r. There was MAYBE 1 other 500 at one other race. Other times we would see someone on a 500 practice but not race. We only made 4 races last year and he was able to get 2nd 500ss amateur in florida, behind a ninja250 or 300 that ran the class all season. Also a well prepped 300 will accelerate just as fast as a stock motor 500. Anyways long story short, he sold it and bought an SV650. As far as we know there are no other 500's racing in FL anymore.
