f 50

Hey markie are you sure your not 50????  On that note can we discuss a f50 class? Everyone I know is close or already there.  Use middle weight SS rules . Simple

[vnvbandit]

Heck yeah! mmmmmmmmmmm next year f60?

[smoke54]

seems like there are plenty of classes already.(just turned 57)

Regardless, it would be interesting to know how many of us would be eligible!
It speaks a lot to the sport that there are so many folks in this age group who are competing.
I'm  young, only 53.

I,m sure we might find a class on the wane we could swap. Hell were about to lose the whole series let's not change anything

[trace33chargers]

what about a class for us young kids? Maybe like a 21 and under. Oh wait, they just calle that middleweight supersport.

I will be 49 on Saturday, November 27th(incidentally it's Bruce Lee's birthday). It will be another year for 50 but that would be cool to have a F50 with middleweight SS rules, and hopefully include Thunderbike rules for the outdate FZR600 and Ducati 748.

I will be 50 March14th.......still feel 25,but the reflection in the mirror had changed a bit!

All you Chinese guys are born on the same day?  I'm only forty seven but I'm planning ahead. Saw a bumper sticker the other day.   (In dog years I am dead)

56 and counting...  backwards from here on out.

I turn 50 in December, unfortunately one of my race buddies turned 40 a month ago. This wouldn't be so bad but he's a couple seconds faster than me.

And another buddy in another year will be 40.  Crap! :)

[Ducmarc]

Now that I'm approaching the century mark loking back it seems to be a big difference between 40 and 50 as opposed to30 and 40 think troy bayless or. Lance armstrong at 30 then 40 think about 40 to 50 dirtbikers even have 60 classes. I think ccs ought to scrap the whole set of classes study who still rides who's missing look at all the bikes running and all the bikes out there for purchase.  And come up with new classes. It is a business I have to modify my business contsently, so should they... I can understand ahrma its a club but ccs is a for profit.  It would make since to change as the times change . what's the average # of races does aracer do. 2 3 4 if you have 5 classes that a guy could run but most guys only run 3 then make a correction to the classes.   There's always a guy who races 5 or 6 races but I bet the average is 2 maybe 3.  Maybe that would put more on the grid for those races

[Gino230]

How about Formula 36? That way Chris, Jason, and Kevin won't be able to ride and I can dominate! Ducati 748's only.

Seriously, Marc you have a point. Maybe the classes need some shuffling. Be careful what you wish for, though. I bet they would find the majority of entries are 600's so you might end up with more classes for the 600, using your theory of getting more guys to enter more races.....just what we need, more middleweights....HA HA

And how bout' the 20,40,60 rule......you know..we're 20 we worry what people think about us,when we're 40 we don't give a shit,and then at 60 you realize,nobody was thinking about ya'...

[sasrocks]

great idea

[Ducmarc]

Kevins not 40 yet?

[Xpat2b]

funny thread, guys.  Thanks for the laugh at 1:30am...

[antirich]

I'll vote for an F50 class, if it keeps all the fast 50 year olds out of F40 next year.

I was happy when i turned 40, thinking that finally there's a class i stand a chance in. Then I quickly realized it was filled with guys who've been racing all their lives. Kind of back fired on me.
