We have a few changes in RoadRace I'll
post the ones I can remember.
All 1 hour races are now 45 minutes.
Fixed pipes only in Yamaha and Piston Port.
All 100cc heavy classes are 400lbs.except
Sportsman which has a light and heavy
and weigh 380 if I remember right and
410 which is right.
All sit-up classes have to have a minimum
of 14" from the ground to the top of the seat bodywork classes included.
Jr.Enduro eliminated and the Jr.Sprint
class now has a light 290# and heavy 310#
Pre98 reeds will get a 20# weight break.
That is all I can remember now but I am sure
others can fill in the rest.Just remember
don't shoot the messanger

John,

Thanks for making the effort to give us an unofficial preview of the meeting results.

There was a proposal (#6?) for a massive realignment of road race classes, eliminating many more than just the Jr. Enduro. What happened with this proposal? (If you can recall...)

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,
The original proposal got reworked. Wish I had my notes with me. I run Yamaha enduro, the light and heavy are both staying. The light will be a 370# class and heavy will be at 400#. for me that is a benefit. I do not recall if the rule on rear body worked passed or not. Most of the classes stayed. Thought for sure they would add a Rotax Max class, but that is what I get for thinking. Hopefully Deborah will let us know of more changes. I missed Sundays portion of the meeting. (working a corner at the local sprint track).

I started to post a recap of the weekend, and did in fact post one. Then I heard Mr. Lynn Haddock's voice in my head saying "Diarreah of the mouth when you are tired will bring you nothing but trouble". I think he told me that about 4 or 5 years ago, and he was right! SO>>> instead of giving you a briefing on what I remember when I am tired, I will wait and give you a briefing on what I KNOW happened, when I'm not! I may have to wait a bit to get the minutes as we met from Fri 9-7 RR Committee Fri 7-11, Gen meeting Sat 9-6:30, Sun 9-6, and I am all pooped out!

Thanks John.

Deb, take your time. You sound a bit disappointed. Hmmmm... could be the long meetings, too. Wish I could have made it to some of the meetings. Oh, well. We have a big dance gig coming up this weekend. Needed to prep for that. Get some rest.
