What is the minimum requirement to vote on rule change recommendations? Are SuperStreet riders, or day licenses eligible?

Dave thanks for bringing this up. You must have a full membership to vote. Those who purchased one day licenses will not be able to vote. Superstreet riders will not be elgible to vote unless they purchased a full membership this season.

6. Creation of Ninja 250 Cup class.

looks like im gonna finally start roadracing...

hey are there any rules proposed to separate pros from novices in the 250 cup? or is it gonna be open skill level and end up being a bunch of super fast dudes dominating all year?

[Bueller]

It'll be the fast guys out front but it won't be because their bikes are far superior, it'll be because they know how to ride, and not make mistakes.
The creation of the class is what is being voted on, specifics will be hammered out later, I would think this will be an combined (Novice and Expert) class.

My first race bike I built up many many moons ago, a bone stock (as far as you know) '86 two-fitty, was a hoot and a half to scoot around on. I think this is a fabulous idea

12: Tires may be replaced with parts of unlimited origin.
