OK, it is clear that some people do not understand Classic Bikes and Classic bike racing... One merely has to look at how many Classic bikes fail to finish, year after year. So with the proposed rules, we go from a Friday practice to a Saturday race (Classic 500).. This is not a good plan, as in the past I (we) have used Sunday as a final preparation day... This typically includes an engine teardown, and more... not just a tire change. This takes a lot of time. With the new schedule, would have to burn the Midnight Oil on Friday to get ready for Saturday... OR skip the Friday practice... this is NOT a good idea... especially for the racers that have to work on their own bikes... You do not just push a button on a Classic race bike... they take a lot more effort... which pays off for those that finish with huge smiles..!
