Tyrone,

Good to have the Johnsons back. The race at Joliet is also one of Peter's favorites. For those who missed the race, this is how they looked every lap at start/finish, their oder changing with every circuit.

And for the finish

We'd like to see as many of our old friends as possible next year and make some ones.

I really enjoy this series, and can't think of anything more a racer could ask for. I have only raced Blackhawk, but plan to race at a few of the other tracks in 2013 now that I have a shifter.

Looking forward to it Bob. Always great to see strong grid of 4 strokes running head to tail.
I'd be interested in joining in if there's an arrive and drive available.

Jim,
Do you guys plan to continue to run the 'stock moto' class in a separate race group or consolidate it together with the rest of the shifter classes?
I've typically raced my stocker in the CIK class only because I'm guaranteed karts to race against in that class - just curious if you've considered running all of the shifters together, or if I should break down and get enough HP to run with the mods in the CIK class Twisted Evil

Didnt you just sell a K9B?

Dave hasnt really mentioned anything specific regarding stock moto, but he did say he's working on the class structure. Be sure to email him with your thoughts\comments (this goes for everyone).

My vote, for the sake of the 3-6 entries in SM is scrap the separate SM class and just run em in CIK125 or G125. The stockers seem to be able to hang in the draft anyway, and in general us midwesterners are running out of places to run our shifters! Might as well keep the CIK and G grids strong if we can.

My clutch, chain and axle will all be very happy if this comes to be.
Of course, a welcome addition to Gingerman would be if Sherman's would load up a truck and stop by a little after lunch time.
