    No - that's him not being prepared and you winning. Again, this is racing. Blowing up isn't a luck thing, it's a preparation thing.

    You can run at Barber as it is if you're legal for the class. If you want to pay for 6 entries that's fine, we'll call it sponsorship :D

    Mongo,
    When do you plan on making a final decision on this and adding to the rulebook for 2017?

    I did email Mongo a copy of my points system.
    So it's up to Mongo what happens.
    Guess we will see.

    I have a question...not sure if it has been covered or not because I am not going to read every page on this thread. Has any thought been put forth to how many entry fees will be lost by reducing the requirements (ie. 6 best finishes)? I could see how the grids over the period of a season could drop off. Not sure if it would be made up with riders showing for just one race or four and the GNF. I am not sure if WERA has applied a metric for the change from a businees aspect or not. Just a thought.

    Or how much more entry fees can be made by those of us not the fastest but willing to pay and get points built up i.e. Points cap

    If it makes sense to make the changes from a business aspect, I am sure WERA will move forward.

    Been working on the schedule so haven't really thought about it much.

    Any new input?

    Some of my thinking is change just for the sake of change. The current setup obviously isn't bringing people out to race. For all 5 classes we had a whopping 25 entries at the GNF. In the case of these 5 classes it absolutely isn't an issue of not having enough events no matter what Steve is saying as they run every single weekend and twice on double header events.

    As for bike buying - how a National championship is determined is truly a factor? Not trying to be an asshole, just don't understand the thinking on that one.

    Anyway, boss and I are doing some road tripping this week on the way to NOLA next weekend for the Endurance race with STT and we'll talk it over, her input matters a bit as you might imagine :D
