Super Twins Racers need to read this

[Old808]

The whole concept of the overall championship is bunk anyway.  That's why you don't see it in AMA or MotoGP.  Everybody knows what the feature class is, and who the top dog is.

Unfortunately, this is a club level sport, which means that it cannot be everything for everyone.

I think that sums it up right there!

Call me weird, but I'd like to see the #1 plate go to the guy with the highest performance index.  Or just have one deciding race...you win the race, you win the plate.  I dont know...i see guys finish mid-pack but then place a top 10 overall.  Thats not right...the plate should go to the fastest guy

I think the reasoning behind not allowing points in some classes is because the machinery or rider is exclusive to that class.

THANK YOU.
The points don't count because it's an exclusive class. If you have an SV, You can already run all the supersport and superbike classes, all GP, all endurance classes, and if you add supertwins and thunderbike you could collect points in pretty much every race.

This year plate assignments will be points times performance index which is perfect. Based on that system Feuerstahler would have the MW #1 plate this year, which no offense to jonny moore, would be fitting.

Question; Do points obtained as an Am. in SuperTwins count towards acquiring an Expert license?

[gethighracewear]

Yes, I was bumped to Ex, and 75% of my points come from supertwins.

[Gixxer124]

The reason some classes don't count towards the overall is because they have very small grids. Most supertwins, ULW classes and F40 have less than 5 riders. It's not fair to a MW rider who has to race against 30 or more people.

Hell, just drop the overall points championship thingy... what exactly does it mean anyways?... just that these are the guys who collected the most points.

Like old808 said.. motogp, ama, wsbk.. sh1t, not even old FUSA, new ASRA has it.. so why does the regional series have it?

Because we all have low self esteems and we need something to look forward to when we get all old an crotchety... :P ;D

Uh, guys?  CCS is a business.  The points rules are written to insure that anyone chasiing a championship or #1 plate will be required to make all the race dates and enter lots of races.  All this carping about the policy is unrealistic.
Let's say some really great rider comes along, and wins all four of his middleweight classes for all five of the weekends he shows up.  Well, that makes him undefeated, and probably the best rider in the region.  It does not automatically make him champion of any class, or the #1 plate holder.  Undoubtedly, people would then carp about whoever DID win the championships and #1 plate, saying they weren't worthy.
CCS sets up the series to reward regular participation.  This makes good business sense for CCS, and gives racers something to shoot for.  The racers who chase championships are the meat and potatoes of CCS.  Without them, there might not be a CCS.  This is the hard, financial reality of what it takes for an organisation to put on a series where we can all play at our own financial ability.

Just read through the new point and championship system for 06 (points X PI), and I do think that will improve things.

I guess we should wait and see how the latest changes pan out before we start begging for new ones.
