RACE FORMAT CHANGE POLL

[Jeff]

So let's hear it.

If the GT classes were dropped to allow all other classes to be lengthened to say 12 laps, would you pay $100 per class to enter the new races?

If not, how much would you be willing to pay?

No, I like the GT races.  I look at them as a way to get up to speed on a track that I haven't been to before or to refine my skills on corners that I find difficult then put it to use in the sprints.

I think Superbike and GP should be combined and heavyweight and unlimited should be combined to allow for more practice time in the AM.

Keep GT and drop either Superbike or GP. GT races are the only class that CCS runs that is even close to the time on track of a national level/pro race.

+1

The GT races are the most fun and the best deal for track time.  If changing anything, combine classes that are the same like superbike and GP.

Question before I vote.

So you are saying 100 bucks for the 1st race and how much for second, 3rd and there after?

4 more laps isn't much.

Personally, I'd like to see qualifying for certain classes. Like do qualifying for Thunderbike, a MW class and a Heavyweight class to grid riders on how fast they are not when they registered.

Here's the overall deal...

When costs go up for a company, revenue has to go up as well.  Find a creative way to make that happen!  The only 2 ways it can happen are for the number of entries to go up, or for the cost of the entries to go up.

The largest complaint I've heard so far on the board is that there aren't enough laps in a sprint race...  Adding laps requires creating a gap in the schedule.  The only way that can be done is to remove something.  Well, if you remove something you need to offset the loss by a gain elsewhere.  How do you make that happen?

[YellowDesmo998]

Do it by dumping the redundant classes! Superbike and GP?  Heavyweight and Unlimited?  Why?

[extrakt0r]

No way...

I like the GT Races...8 Laps is enuf for the sprints IMO.....

+1     Lets have qualifying for at least MW supersport. That seems to be the race with the largest field every weekend. I don't know how many of you(if any) attended the "superbike shootout" at MAM a few weeks ago, but the qualify concept was fun, and add to the enjoyment of te weekend.

My quick opinion is...

Cost of racing is why most people back out of the sport.
Raising the enterie fees isn't going to help that at all.

If CCS is looking for more revenue, they need to find ways to attract more people to race.

For example, offer something inbetween Am and Ex... Like a Jr EX rank... Not to open that can of worms...

Regardless, I only really like running the GT races.
In my opinion, they need to drop either GP or Superbike for MW HW and Unl. I mean come on... when was the last GP bike raced that was only legal in the GP class?

I know that I hear from a lot of am's that they get pretty tired even in 8 laps.  I think it might turn away some potential newbies if the races were that long.  I know my first couple weekends it seemed like the GT races lasted a month lol!

Drop Lightweight GP, Middleweight GP and Heavyweight GP.

Have Qualifying for all Superbike classes. But still allow 250 GP bikes to run in LWSB. Cutting the GP races out screw the 250 2 smokers in Lightweight.

Qualifying would kick ass! Or have heats, but that would take even longer. Just qualifying works. Yea yea yea DO IT!!!
