Scrap class A and allow tuning to the max on class B, with full grids.

I don't think dumping the newer bikes is the way to go! best have a power to weight rule & just one class.

Now that's a good idea. But I'll let someone else do the math!

Maybe if we take it in turn to wear an eye patch for a race or remove the front brake lever?
I would still love to do a LeMan start.

thought someone must have removed mine when I tried to stop at Park race 2!

maybe not mark but a few further up the mid pack maybe, especially these really long races at places like brands where is as much as 6 secs between fast A and mid B, in fact I think all bar the front 5 were lapped by Neil at brands this year - he would have lapped the leader...even with only 50 hp

Some sort of way to merge A and B bikes would be a good way of getting full grids.

However I do like having two different championships. 1 for novice and 1 for serious peeps. Would like to see that element retained.

Mark.

PS 5/10 seconds headstart is not really going to shorten the race for the backmarkers.

I don't think I could handle more than the 50 BHP I already have.
