They are thinking of a pre '95 class as well. Why not have classes like we do down-under with the post classic racing – pre ’72, pre ’82 and pre ’89. They are thinking of a pre ’95 class as well.

I was racing with the AFM at SearsPoint back in the late seventies. Even with the track changes the video took me way back. Especially since the Z1 was the king of "Super Street" (early super bike) in my day so the sight and sound of the big Kawaker is part of my memories even though I rode Hondas and Yamahas. I had so many great races there. I was never within sight of the winners but I had a great time. Goose Randy,

Many supersports/racer reps use aluminum frames so they will go to this category. Many older bikes and current Ducati use steel frame. Also CBR600F through F2 use steel frame if I remember. Also allow all Suzuki Katana (they all have steel frames) as well as former police bikes (Kawasaki, BMW, and H-D) race as well. Allow some handicap for engine type too. Liquid-cool fours have higher weight penalty compare to air cooled twins.

This brings back a flood of memories when I was racing street 350s back in the late 60's day.
