New challenge classes for 2025

[Timothy Sauder]

We have room in the schedule for a few test challenge races for the 2025 season.
Feel free to discuss the proposed races here.
The Membership Secretary will send out a poll near the end of the month to cast your vote on what you'd like to enter and or see at our events.
All of the chosen classes will run at all four of the events.
The Post Vintage Invitational (now medium and heavy) was voted on at the AGM to make it an official test class for the 2025 season so it's already slotted into the schedule.


Battle of the Twins
Two cylinder four stroke only, air and liquid cooled
All classes defined by the VRRA
Three classes, divided into light, middle and heavy

Song of Singles
Single cylinder four strokes, air and liquid cooled

Timothy. The 2T open makes absoloutly no sense.

- What if you have a 350?
- Why wouldn't you just follow the AHRMA rules and get AHRMA folks to attend. Thats a 30 person class in the US. If you can get 5 they may enter the bikes native class as well +senior/junior open. Thats another $500 per rider

[Timothy Sauder]

From the AHRMA Handbook;

8.8 OPEN TWO-STROKE
Open to any two-stroke motorcycle, regardless of displacement, number of cylinders,
frame type, cooling type or date of manufacture.

We can eliminate the classes in the 2TGP and just run it as an Open.
Not a problem.
Easier for me to grid.

I'm just thinking its such a huge class at AHRMA and if you could get 5 of those guys at Calabogie and Mosport that would bump up the number significantly... and who wouldn't want to ride at Calabogie and Mosport

[Timothy Sauder]

Exactly.
I know numbers for those classes might be low for either of the Shannonville rounds.
But they should attract a lot of interest at Calabogie and Mosport.
I'm hoping to attract bikes with no where else to go.
A swarm of RZ350's on the grid would be a sight not seen in a long time.

Filling out P1 is part two of the get more riders out plan.
