Since they added the Women to the National scene wouldn't it be cool to have a +40 class too? We know most of those ex pros +40 can still fly.

I think a lot would come out if they didn't have to bang bars with a 19 year old but still wanted to hang it out.

Shit...I can't even get the Pros I know to come out and race once...seems like they just want to sit back and watch these days. Promote their kids, and shit like that.

Once a year maybe...but not on a regular basis.

The Vet classes (LL's) scared the shit out of me this year....I really don't understand it, maybe because half are novice and half are ....higher than novice. Just craziness in the first turn. 42 guys that start good, but 10 that can hit the first turn at speed.


I would love to do a Vet Pro +40 race though. I think I would have better odds....not to win, but to survive the first turn.

They should run the Lites A and Open A class from amatuer day on Sunday during the 2 hour boring break from 10:00 - 1:00.

I wish LL would drop the four stroke class and add a + 50. I know a couple of guys that turned 50 this year that still go pretty good and have been to LL that would do it if there was a + 50, but said no way to racing +40.

I would be more into a "farm league" class.
Sorta like what the consi's were when they were still 20+2.
All the guys that don't make the show, get a 20+ 2 before or inbetween the nat motos.
This would also make for an "advancement" system. Put them on 250f's as well.
Just another idea to help make the "premier" class "premier" again. Rooks straight out of LL's into the "premier" class is a joke. Smart bugdet/parts wise for them, i'd do the same, but dumb on the sport. There is no advancement ladder in pro mx, its a joke.

I like that idea, gives the guys that did not make the show some exposure. Gives the fans more racing.
