Hey darren, I think you'v done a great job with the rules for the titles... trying to stay as close as possible to the specifications the majority of the bikes are already set up for, for club racing .....
I'm 80kg(bit of a fat c$%$)... and I won both chinese w/c classes @ Warrnambool last year ... and when my elites ready, I'l have no hesitation in trying to knock con off his pedistal.... I don't know why everyone makes such a 'BIG' deal over weight..... you can always ride harder!!!!!!!!!!! and if you really want to get onto weight.. Don't heavier riders have the ability, cause of their weight, to corner faster, sooo you can make it up in the corners, and a bit of late breaking!!!!!!

tell you what just google the power to weight ratio & add in the weight of a 50kg rider to a 80 kg rider
& i agree Darren has done a great job with the rules & should be very proud of his achievments.
the more power you have then the less the weight would make a difference the less power you have then the more the weight makes a difference so when you only have around 10 hp to 15 hp it makes a big difference.
look at it this way why are all the motogp riders so small ?
why was rossi & other complaining about danny pedrossa being so light & that he had an advantage now they are talking about bikes that have over 200 hp ????????????

right, now if you read what you 'QUOTED' me , its written twice above...
I won std & pro 'CHINESE' watercooled @ warrnambool (large track)and I'm 80kg... nearly the whole field was lighter than me but I still won... huh?!! and thats less hp than what you're talking about... yeah?

and who won moto gp... the fat one!! the lightest rider didn't win!!

let's just race...!!
Its so hard to have a conversation with you sometimes!!

hey 74
I was just wondering how comes there were no NSW riders at the 3 rounds last year. I ask this as an honest question and don't mean it in a smart *** way.
The reason I do how ever ask is that from what I have heard there is going to be quite a few NSW riders at this years 4 rounds.One thing I can add having gone to all the rounds last year that those who race will have a total ball and enjoy the racing throughly even though it is very competitive.
The racing format was pretty good last year and this years classes should be even better.

Hey Rover, on behalf of myself, We have not been racing long here in Nsw and for those of us that do show up we have been concentraiting on our first full season here. In saying that i had work comittments and a new mortgage that also did not allow it. I know i wanted to go last year but as i said just couldnt and wasnt the only one! However i will be there for the first round, maybe more but not certain, and cant wait to see how we compete with the rest of the country!

2nd up Rover,
mate i wasn't racing all of last year so for me i just didn't have a bike & wasn't racing the others i cannot really say i haven't really asked them.

hey morty i will race regardless but mate do the maths more weight does equal less power & who is the fat one that won motogp, rossi stoner there both tiny to just not as tiny as pedrossa lol
