Why can't CCS have more purse races and run qualifying?

I think there needs to be more money races in all the classes with CCS. I also don't agree with being gridded by your date of entry. There should be some sort of qualifying. Have qualifying be your practice times. If you run the fastest times in practice, you get gridded at the front. I think it's horse shit some slow fuck is gridded at the front because he preregistered 2 months before the race weekend. I'm not saying I've never been that slow fuck but I still don't agree.

CCS should run it more like a flat track event is run. Heats or qualifying should be the equivilant of our practice time and for Christ sake put some money out there to be won. It'll make it more interesting and more competitive.

I just wanted to bitch about that briefly. Thank you for reading.

Do more money prices mean more entry fees?
I'm thinking some of you are already spending grocery money.NO

Well more money races mean higher entry fees. As for qualifying........no time. As for using practice times for grids that would be a logistics nightmare as bikes run together in practice that don't run together in races.

go faster and win factory contingency.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOOOHOOO! What a freaken ride"

Hello Barb, I am only going buy Your picture on the post. I was at Barber over the weekend and working with the Chechs & Slovaks. I noticed a gal walk in with a sling on her arm and she kinda looked like the post photo. If that was You I hope that You are going to be good with that broken arm! If the gal that I am refering to is not Yourself, please excuss me.

Thanx

Ok which classes to cut so they can have 2 sessions of practice (ya know if they cut it down to 1 session people bitch), qualifying for every race (have to have each separate or else people bitch) and then maybe have time left for 5 or 6 races a day. Consider track rental, insurance, staff, purse money. Should make entry fees around $500ish/race. :biggrin:

And how do you keep SS guys from running slicks for practice? Or hell how do you keep 600 guys from running their 750 in practice for "qualifying". It doesnt work, lots and lots of smart and experienced people have proved that it doesnt work. pre-enter, learn how to start better, or go race with WERA and collect some points then you can start from the front.

'I bet it 'costs' a lot less to run a flat track race. Hmmm a circle of dirt usually vs. a 2 mile road course.

CCS has had more purse paying races in the past. 

I think the schedule is bloated with races.  I'm a racer, and, at times, the number of events makes the day drag on.

Purse paying races do cost more, but racers enter them.

Oh, qualifying...

Yeah, it would be neat.  But would it be absolutely necessary?  I think that for a regional club organization, gridding by points is a good way to generate a grid based on some customer loyalty.
