Well, unlimited bikes have always been limited because of various expenses first.  So, that population is smaller than MW & HW guys and then the LW guys.  To exclusive idea for a class.

why couldn't it be run with the F40 and see how many entrants it gets?

From a dollars and cents point of view, it seems that there are more Middleweight bikes out there than Unlimited. If Unlimited machines are used then I would venture to say that the middleweight guys won't even bother try. I would be curious to see how many middleweight riders there are now and how many of them will not race F40 with the inclusion of the Unlimited bike.

Right now for us folks in Florida the F40 race gets a little hairy with what appears to be a higher occurence of red flags. Large field, bigger bikes, to me means more incidents can happen.

I guess though if it an all new class within the F40 group that may be a different story.

I'm sorry, I didn't clarify. I mean run them at the same time as the F40, just score the Unlimited as a diff class.  Maybe start them in the first wave?  I dunno just grasping at straws here....   I just really wanted to run F40.  I don't think I'm going to have extra coin for another bike. It seemed to me
they had space on the grid for more bikes

lol if it went to bike plus rider age I'd be running around F40 on the cbr I'll hit 38 in Aug 2010 and the 600 is an 03 - that would be a fun way to run the 600 without too much grief

since us forty somethings don't have any sense anyway let's make it a turbo class and give a weight brake for injected NOS bike no extended swing arms but wheelie bars legal. ya  come out of the corner and whack 350hp down the straight. and about 295 around daytona that would git us on the speed report for sure.

Are you on your pain meds again Marc?

[Ducmarc]

what you mean again?

[roadracer162]

Hahahahaha...that's just crazy talk.

[Commander_Chaos]

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.

Ugh. Combined age here is 60.
