Whats up with Formula 40 next year?

[quicktoy]

I know a bunch of guys who race formula 40 and I wanna see them all next year bieng able to race it as an unlimited supersport class.  Most of them have a ton more experience than the rest of us, so its not like they cant handle it. Im just sick of seeing all Gixxer 750s on the grid.

Also Why not break it up into 2 races? cause a few I know also have a lightweight bike too, they should be able to go for 2 championships

There is a LW F40 race already.

What do you want to do?

If you allow the 1000's, which only make up a small population of bikes that are raced...oh, and they are ridiculously fast now also...you're not going to get the guys that run F40 on 600's.

How about we add even more classes so that we can have a MW F40...

Theres very very few experts that line up in Formula 40 on 600s out this way..some 1000 twins, and mostly gsxr 750s.

I know theres a lightweight formula 40, but i was refering to maing it a separate race..the heavyweight and lightweight race at the same time

I sold a damn fast lightweight bike beacuse I needed a 750 to be competitive in F40.  The next year CCS introduced lightweight F40.... >:(
A friend of mine had two FZR bikes this year.  One was a 560 superbike, and the other a supersport/ultralightweight 400.  At several events, classes were combined so that he ended up paying two entries to compete in one race so he could get points in both classes.  Naturally, this meant that he started from the second wave on the slower of his two bikes.  He wasn't real pleased about that, but it was what CCS chose to do.

CCS needs to cut the number of races in a weekend!!!Then make the shortest race 10 laps. enything less is a waiste of time and we can do it in our back yard for free......Ha.. ;D

Out west most of the F-40 grid in the experts is made up of 600s, and those of us that run the class also race and are competitive in the middle, heavy and unlimited classes on that same 600.

well i ride a gsxr 750 but i understand that alot of people i have spoken with including myself(i find myself talking to myself more and more lately,must be getting old)feel it should be unlimited ss rules.i personally know of a couple of guys that either own or work at dealerships that don't sell Suzuki's so they race what they sell and are forced to compete on a 600 against 750's.

 I think the original theory for F40 was..uh..FUN. A place where an older guy could be compettitive with his piers. It would seem F40 is becoming a class of older veteran 1 number aces, than guys running for the sport of it.
  Don't you guys make me start a campaign to drop F40 for F50 to weed out the rockets from the regular classes. ;D

Funny how last winter I was inquiring about F40.  Having never seen it, I was concerned whether it was a class mostly of folks getting into racing later in life.  Or whether it was more like the Senior PGA.  That is, older guys but highly skilled and past money earners.

I'm deathly slow out there (for now anyway).

If they continue to run the F40 at the same time as the F40LW and they allow F40 to be unlimited displacement, then I think it'll only be a matter of time before there's a sickening accident due to the speed differential.  

Fun is the main thing for me.  Let's keep it as it is.
