POLL - Which class would you cut?

[Jeff]

Which class would you cut to enhance others?

[grasshopper]

I vote GP, but allow 2 stroke 250's to run in LWSB.

The question is, what will the extra time be used for. Hopefully a qualifying session for all SB races. Not just one or 2 but all 3 superbike series. Lightweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight.

[Jeff]

Realistically you're not going to get a qualifying class for each series.  If qualifying was used, it would have to be for a specific race or a 'blanket' type qualifying which your 1 qualification counted for your races in that bike class.

if qualifying was used.... how would we police the restrictions on qualifying... say someone uses their superbike to qualify for a SS race.

i vote to qualify for the gt races, grid by points, and combine the gp and sb classes

I vote GP.  We still need Superbike for moded bikes and slicks.

If we do qualifying for superbike then it won't matter what bike they use as long as its the right size motor.

I say we need SB  for MFR contingency...  GP though...  How many GP bikes would not be able to run in SB?

What do you mean?

If they cut out 3 races (LWGP, MWGP, and HWGP) why wouldn't there be enough time to run qualifying for each Superbike race (LWSB, MWSB and HWSB) in place of each GP race?

How long does a typical GP sprint take to run?

How long would a typical qualifying session run?

I'm betting about the same time.

[weggieman]

None of the above. I would cut the ultralightweight stuff due to it's lack of entries. there wouldn't be as much of a loss of revenue.

Also instead of timed qualifying which take up way too much time I would rather see heat races. Takes less time and though you may think it would be hairball remember, if you don't finish the heat race you don't race or start up front in the final.

[Jeff]

the UL stuff is pretty much a wash because they combine like 6 classes in one race anyhow..

heat races would be interesting..

Actually qualifying for ULGP Ex takes longer than the race itself ironically.

Personal opinion...
Yet again....
If you allow GP bikes into a Superbike race, then its a GP race.
There is little room to argue this point.
Simply put, Drop Superbike, as GP rules allow open Mods and slicks as it is.
And no one gets left out...
Or just freaking call it Superbike GP, so everyone can have the name.

P.s. CCS has said blankly, they will not have qualifing.
I would like to see a heat race format though.
I would even give up the fight for GTs if there was a two (or more) race heat format put in place.
