Looks like WERA succumbed. I think CCS already allows liter bikes in the novice class.

Rule Changes

I doubt it.

All CA racing orgs allow it, and the crashfest is still 600 SuperSquid.

It's always been WERA's contention that novices on liter bikes are a bad combination for their first time racing...

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I doubt it will mean a problem despite WERA's theory. As I said, in CA it's not that unusual for people (like me) to do their first race on a literbike, and the class is not nearly as crash plagued as others.

You're probably right. The 600 class has so many bikes racing usually that crashing is inevitable some times.

The first race of the season in the 600 "SuperSquid" is the best.
Opening season jitters + prov nov overload =
RED FLAG

Yeah, I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but you do see all the "experienced" racers come out to the fences to watch the carnage for that one.

Yup----600 stupidbike is still the nightmare class--whereas open production has 1/3 the grid size and is pretty "novice friendly".

BTW in AFM novices race with experts---there are no "beginer races"
