f40 why no 1000's?

[StuartV666]

Could somebody official maybe weigh in on this?

And, put me down as a vote for "Please, please, PLEASE add Unlimited Supersport to the Formula Forty class."

It seemed to make a little more sense to not allow 1000s when there was no LW F40. But, now that there is, there seems to be no sensible reason to NOT allow 1000s. WERA's equivalent allows the equivalent of Heavyweight Superbikes (i.e. 750s with lots of mod) and Unlimited Supersport (i.e. 1000s relatively stock). Personally, I would be fine with excluding 1000s actually built for Unlimited GP.

I made my return to racing this year (finally) and my new bike is a GSX-R1000. I raced 600s on and off from '90 to '03 and I wanted to try something bigger for a change. But now, there's not very many classes on a weekend that I can run it in. Being allowed to run it in F40 would really be nice. (and I don't see what the reasoning would be for not letting me do so).

Come on!! At least for next season? I won't be 40 until October anyway.

How about it Kevin or Eric??

Oh, what the hell - I'll buy into that.  1000's for next year +1.

Maybe you can get Kevin to let 1000's into a couple of rounds this year as a "test" to see how things go and get a feeling for any impact it might have on grid size.

Stu   I don`t think this would change your mind at all but you do realize that F40 points do not count towards your overall points don`t you? I just like to bring that up now and then as F40 newcomers are usually in the dark on that one!

I think all you old farts should get some sort discount on the f40 entry fees

just like the senior discount you guys get at denny's

Just wondering ?   When you formula 40 guys go thru tech do they make sure your dentures aren't loose

might have to safety wire those too.... all jokes aside... I commend the old schoolers. I just hope when I'm 40+ i'm still racing. Keep up what the good work guys and keep doing what you love.. I think the f40 should have I-4 1000's allowed so I'll vote for it!! 

[sryan296]

They may be old, but tommy and dennis  still spank me every weekend

[Protein Filled]

I heard they do and that they also have a special port-a-poty next to tech where they can change their depends...It's right next to Tommy G's pit, so he can get to it easily

[sryan296]

I was wondering what that smell was

[catman]

Think they'll be a f60 class for my retirement in 10 years?If you are racing then ,you prolly learned the right longevity lessons of this sport so any size bike should be your weapon of "CHOICE"   Isnt this just before the kids talking you out of driving your car anymore? I'm not going easily on that one!!My response may be something like :finger:and ive been saving this up for you kids NJ JOHN

[StuartV666]

Ho, ho, ho, hee, hee, hee. You guys are hilarious! ;)

TommyG, no, that doesn't make any difference to me. I've got a 1000 to race (for now), and I just want another class I can run it in. Unl SS, Unl SB, Unl GP, and GTO aren't enough for a whole weekend.
