With all that is being changed in the infrastructure
of CCS/ASRA.
I feel there are three things that the origination may
wish to address.

First, with the change in the points structure, the
amateur to expert point level (750) should be
addressed. The new point structure would require a
racer to finish 4th or better in 3 racer per weekend
in a 11 weekend series. A 500 limit would require a
10th average under the same conditions (in my opinion
a fair point). A 375 limit would put the average at
about 13th place. (calculations not based off of twin
sprints or double point weekends)

Second, with the change from FUSA to ASRA, I would
like to suggest a class change to allow Amateurs to
participate in the series. I suggest taking the
Amateur Unlimited GP (run trophy only on ASRA
weekends) and label it as, "The Breeders Cup". An
additional thought, offer trophy "Cups", not the
standard plaques for this race. As it stands, amateurs
can only run in Thunderbike, leaving out most of the
Amateur from the ASRA weekends.

And last, it is my opinion, that all newly licensed
racers should have to corner work one full day prior
to racing for their first time.

I agree 100%.  School on Saturday, cornerwork Sunday, race on the next weekend.

Willow Springs Motorcycle Club (WSMC), its a requirement that before you can get your EX card not AM you must corner work for one day. It can be broken up into 2 sessions mornings one wkend or afternoons the next that
way you can still race.

Or make it so they have to work a full day to get their license and also have to work one day (like your example where they could split it) to go expert.

I don't think a person should have to cornerwork to get a race license.  If I want to cornerwork, I'll sign up for it.

What, are all you people doing Auto-X's on the weekends or something?

[BRG]

If you want to race, sign up to race.

If you want to cornerwork sign up to cornerwork.


Track time....

What is the reasoning for people wanting racers to cornerwork?

I've raced, done track days, and worked corners. I absolutely think that you should be required to work at least 1/2 day on the corners to obtain a race license.

Why?

Because it gives a racer a perspective they would otherwise miss. Cornerworkers experience the same adrelaline rushes that a racers do. They must manage track safety at their location. They are in communication with race control, and learn how overall safety is managed first hand. This experience is invaluable to understanding the sport at another level required for participation.

While I appreciate what cornerworkers do.  I don't feel that I have to understand their job in order to be a safe or better racer.

Getting their (cornerworkers) perspective may be interesting and useful to some, but I think invaluable may be too strong a word.

[oldguy]

You get to see the fast lines thru the corners you work! That's a good reason.

Oh, and you get a good perspective of the riders, and can almost tell who is going to crash. IMHO

IMO having racers cornerwork to learn how to race better/safer would be like having a lifeguard drown to learn CPR....one doesn't help the other.
