Stay tuned, there will be news on the ULGP class soon. I'm optimistic that we will be able to get something to replace P89 that will be workable for a lot of you.

Eric, did ASRA remove us from their series? I dont see us on their schedule for 2016
Eric any chance that the paint lines on the track will get redone in a way so that they wont be so damn slippery?!

Even if this were only done for the Orange box and yellow lines around the entry of 1 and exit of pit Rd T2, T3 T10 and T12 it shouldnt affect nascar. the white hashlines in T2 and T12 for nascar arent as big of as issue.Quote:

The paint surface will still smooth out the peaks and valleys and other imperfections that are in the roughed up pavement which the tire molds to and grabs on to and it will still be slick. Admittedly any additional roughness over a flat painted surface would be better than nothing so why not give it a shot and see.Quote:

Sucks that ASRA at NHMS is what got me into racing CCS and ASRA, and now i cant even do that event at my own home track for 2016.
they replaced the NHMS round with a new 1.46 mile (9 turn) track in IL. so now ASRA has 3 consecutive mid-west rounds in a row for 2016. :noway:
Isnt there FIM approved paint? Shouldn't that be the easy (probably expensive route).Quote:

That was my understanding too.Quote:

Is the Team Challenge a relay or endurance?
Same bike when I did it in Jersey and I don't think you have to have more than 1 person. I remember one person doing it by themselves as a long ass practice.
Correct infoQuote:

Hey all - update on the P89 / ULGP class and the ULSB class. Good news.
ULSB - Basically the same class as last year with the addition of stock bore SV's
P89/ULGP - It looks like P89 is gone and plugged in it's place will be the ULGP, small bike "tinkertown" class as proposed.
All you guys need to do is fill the grid in this class and you'll have a place to play for as long as you want it.
Good job, Josh!
We need to unofficially dub this the Kurlon Klass :rockon:
no ASRA Sprint races at NHMS this year. The round that's normally in August will be at a new 1.45 mile track in IL :noway:Quote:

This guy is over here reading my mind.Quote:

Motards should still ante up and at least be forced to do a Moto3-like conversion ;) It's not a GP class if you don't feel every single bump NHMS has to throw your way IMHO :P
