Because the younger riders felt like they were being discriminated against if the points were included. They were being a bunch of pussy's about it. :-)

We pay our money to race the race just like everyone else, so who's being discriminated against?  And while we're at it lets do away with the performance index! :)

Same reason Heavyweight Twins doesn't count or Femme Moto doesn't count.

Well it's funny because every F-40 racer I know,Twins and Femoto also race in all the other classes,plus F-40's been expanded so much now,and frankly of you look at most the riders the lap times are lower than alot of other classes......they're all competitive classes (all the F-40)

I would have to say because each of the above is a restricted class - would technically give a 40+ more points to earn in a year than the rest of the competition (just guessing here) under the age of 40

of course you could say the same about racing a 600 vs a liter bike.....

So I guess the fix would be to have the unlimited GP class be the run for the number one plate? All bikes are capable of running in that class

If they all crash they would do fine. Farewell are they going fast enough to crash?

Can you sense my sarcasm?

Exactly.  Don't get it twisted.  We're a mean, ol' ornery lot of racers.  Aggressive and fast.  It's just nice not to have a grid size of 42 kids hopped up on energy drinks :P

LOL....right on...but I kinda like it up close and personal,with skilled,expierienced racers,the meat grinder changes when you add that element,especially first couple laps.... :thumb:
