Class Championships points races... Who's hoping for what?

[Yknot]

3rd in novice formula forty lite, chance for 2nd
2nd in novice ULSB
4th in Novice GTL, chance at 3rd

Question is, does it mean anything other than to me? Do they have wood for all classes or just some?

BTW great year Pete!

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

There is no such thing as a Novice championship. only the should be an amateur List.

[jtaylor719]

There is no such thing as a Novice championship.

I didn't think there was an AM championship anymore either. I think when Chris Watt won ULSB, they had a recognition of all AM winners at the banquet - then that was it.

There are no Novice or Amateur championship, only the LRRS Rookie of the Year.

[Pittenger5]

Arent they giving moneyz for Novii and Amateurs this year though?

No there isn't, dipshit.

There is, however, a Vanson Leathers RIDER of the year award.

Yes for top 3 in points in the GT classes, Motard and Ptwins.

[scottieducati]

Sorry, ROTY, doesn't matter what the R stands for. Although if past history is indication, it means Retard of the Year...

Whoa snap, I'm bumping down and rocking an EX next year. WOOT.

So why are amateur and novices classes listed under CLASS CHAMPIONSHIPS when viewing results on my.nhms.com?

[eboos]

Just for points and grid position. There is no recognition.

I have the possibility of finishing top 3 in all my races.

1st-P-Twins (wrapped as Pete said)

Currently 2nd in MWPT. I would have to win the last event and Rick would have to finish 4th or worse. If he finished 3rd we would tie but he would get it for more 2nd place finishes. That's only with the points drop, though, which I'm not a fan of. Without the drop he would have to finish last.

Currently 3rd in LWSS with the points drop. I need to beat Pete and by a couple positions to feel good about it so the drop doesn't matter.

Currently 2nd in GTL. Without the drop I'm way out ahead of Scott Mullin but with the drop only 4 points ahead. I gotta beat Scott, or finish 1 place behind him in a race where you can use slicks and run Superbike spec bikes. This will be a looong shot for 2nd, but could get 3rd. Now i wish I hadn't run my EX in this race at the first event!

They let you park cars at the banquet.

[eboos]

lol, at the 07 banquet, my truck and trailer was boxed in by people double parking and the lot was covered in snow. I had to get bikes back before closing.

I am happy i met my goals for this season, I stayed in novice to get my times down before bumping to AM. I always do the same 4 race's every weekend. Novice-GTO,MW Grand prix, HW superbike,HW supersport.
My season has been good ,
1 st place GTO have it locked down.
1 st place HW superbike if I can hold onto it.
2 nd place MW Grand prix if I can hang on
3 rd place HW supersport , Not sure what happen in this race over the season but i am 27 points out for a first place tye.

But overall i am happy with my season. I am still slow ( in my opinion) to bump to AM in the 600 class... I am just glad i broke into the 19's
Hopefully i will have a new bike for next season, anything is an upgrade from the 02 gsxr 600. My bike is a great bike to start out doing racing or track day's but not enough to hang in the AM/Expert class for middle weight...

19's on an 02 Gixxer is awesome if you bumped you would be running 18's or 17's

Running with the faster guys will make you faster.

Yeah, 19's are way too slow to bump to Amateur [/sarcasm]


Seriously.... I'm guessing the improved technology has a big thing to do with it, but people are going FASTER AND FASTER in each individual rider class before bumping. Back when I started racing, 19's would give you a solid shot at getting on the podium in an AM MWSS race.

Ya well now with Kevin running 1:15.6 as an AM all of us have some work to do.. Good thing he is going Exert next season.. Lol

[Danz19899]

i think CEO just broke 19's and hes been an AM for a little while now lol

[OreoGaborio]

Yeah I year ya.

[ginness72]

OH , I forgot that there are a few of us that are all bumping to AM next season.So a lot of the guys that i am normally up against are all going to be very familiar with the occasional new face. I still can't wait, very pumped about being able to put the yellow/blacks on the bike..

He should have been an expert a year ago.

Any idea of amounts? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

[Mr. Kurtz]

I think I may have edged Pete Gaborio(187) out for first place in HWBBQ as of last weekend. I'm pretty sure I'm running a close second to Peter Kates in Unlimited Getting Drunk, but I can never remember my actual points by the end of the weekend.
