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!

ok if you have deep pockets or strong mechanical knowledge, but for numpties like me closer to std the better

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

He lapped everyone but Hugh and me in Race 1, and everyone except me, Kev and Jimbo in Race 2 (though don't mention the 10 sec penalty and Hugh being lapped!). He would have lapped me in both races with just a 5 sec headstart.

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.
