Unlimited F40 class.......who wants one? let's get a show of hands

[skiandclimb]

Didn't F-40 use to be age of bike plus age of rider equalling 40?  If so- what happened to that?  Sorry if this has been whipped to death in the past, just wondering.

Yes, but that was quite a while ago.  1997 or so?  Can't remember.  Youngest a rider could be was 35 and race a five year old bike.

Thanks for the info, Dave.  I thought I remembered it being that way a long time ago.  Low grids being the norm lately, I don't understand why that isn't revisited.  I'll be 35 in two weeks.  That being said, I'd love to be able to flog the old Duc in F40 class.  And I bet there's a few others that feel the same way. 

Do you know why there was a shift away from that mindest?

I don't think it attracted a lot of riders in the way F40 in its current form has.  I wouldn't recognize how expanding it would necessarily result in more entries in F40. 

With the small grids, were you entering unlimited classes?

They all got old and could afford new bikes?

Yeah, my bike has those "desmo" valves, you know...kinda limited to where its allowed. LOL

LOL!  It's still just lots and lots of parts. 

I want Mitch to finish that H2 project of his.....COOOOOOL!

How old are you Blume?

I'm currently 38...well on my way to 39...I will be there sooner than I would like.

It's allowed in Unlimited.  I almost won ULGP on my gay SV1000 in 2007 at Gateway.  Definitely not as cool as anything Ducati.  Go race, dammit!!!  :)
