Well, we have been listening and after throwing around various ideas for some time, have basically broken the mould and given both groups exactly what they wanted by combining both formats. The Senior A&B grade riders will get 2 longer motos that will be run so that with the combination of the unlimited class (for those that want to race both classes), there will 4 longer races spread across the day with the remaining classes sticking to a slightly amended 3 round format.
The new format is as follows;
ROUND 1
1. SNR OPEN A+B 7 Laps
2. SNR OPEN C 4 Laps
3. JNR LITES A+B 4 Laps
4. JNR LITES C 4 Laps
5. MINI LITES 9-11yrs 4 Laps
Double gate for 25+ Riders. C first then Open
6. SNR UNLIMITED 7 Laps
7. MINI LITES 12-15YRS 4 Laps
Double gate for 25+ Riders. C first then A+B
8. VETS over 35 - 40 - 45 4 Laps
9. 65cc Open + C 4 Laps
Double gate for 25+ Riders. C first then Open
10. SNR LITES A+B 7 Laps
11. SNR LITES C 4 Laps
12. Div 2 50cc 4 Laps
13. Div 1 50cc 4 Laps
(reduced track length)

The first race day will obvious be a bit of a test. There will be race order sheets up in the usual places so have a look and be sure you understand the format. After doing this it would be a shame if you missed a race because they weren’t on the gate in time! We would love to have as much rider feedback as possible so please come along to the next committee meeting on March 1st and let us know your thoughts.
