MAM GP & MW Memorial Day Weekend Info

[extrakt0r]

I have more back to backs at Heartland Park (btw the sprints are 7 laps there too) than I do at a TrackaddixGP event.

Again, you know this before you enter...That is the difference...

This should allow all MW Riders to bump up into all Heavyweight and UNL Classes...You would only have 1 back to back in HWSB and UNSB, but and could make a choice to do one or the other, or run the one back to back...

Unless you're F40 like Tommy G who will still have 3 back-to-back races...

With MAM being a tight technical track can you imagine how many people will be grided in the mw classes. There might be 30 experts and 30 novice give or take. Thats 60 to 65 people on that track at one time. You know there are going to be some red flags, a crash or two, and other unfortunate things. Giving 20 mins per race is a little unrealistic I thnk. It seems that having practice for most of the day on saturday is a waste of a good day for racing. How many teams have signed up for Sat.

Unless you are a Heavyweight 40y/o wanting to bump up to unlimited. Then you would have a back to back to back in the mourning, and a back to back in the afternoon.  They would have trouble getting on the bus to go back to the "home" after that.      -Snack

I thought that too. But when you look at the schedule for HPT there are 4 ASRA qualifing rounds fallowed by 12 seven lap spints after lunch on Saturday.     http://www.ccsracing.com/schedules/2006/HPT%20June%20ASR-CCS%20Schedule.pdf

That's who I had in mind.

Although I'm sure he'll respond with "wanna race?" I'd have nothing to say at that point....

MAM is hardly tight and technical...

Think Blackhawk...

It's no brainerd either. By the time the first wave is off and the second one starts it will look like the Bristol Nascar race.

Not bad.
But...
If you're a middleweight F40 guy who likes to run HWT and UNL you could have two back to backs in the mourning alone. Here in lies the problem, you are never going to be able to make everyone happy. If you schedule for the guys who run LWT and MWT bikes then guys with MWT bikes who like to race up are going to complain, so on and so forth.
