My Vision

Since things are in flux I've been thinking about my perfect US
superbike series and have come up with this:

Classes
Superbike (SBK) - FIM WSB rules
600cc Super Sport (SS) - Free suspension internals, no chassis mods,
minimal engine mods
Twins (2T) - Low cost 2-cylinder series, 120 hp limit, free mods, 200%
MSRP claiming rule
GS500 (GS) - Low cost entry level Suzuki GS500 spec series

Weekend Schedule
Saturday 0800 - 0855 : Practice (SBK)
Saturday 0900 - 0925 : Practice (SS)
Saturday 0930 - 0955 : Practice (2T)
Saturday 1000 - 1025: Practice (GS)
Saturday 1030 - 1125 : Practice (SBK)
Saturday 1100 - 1155 : Practice (SS)
Saturday 1200 - 1225 : Practice (GS)
Saturday 1230 - 1255 : Practice (2T)
Saturday 1300 - 1330 : Qualifying (GS) - 30 min timed
Saturday 1340 - 1410 : Qualifying (2T) - 30 min timed
Saturday 1420 - 1520 : Qualifying (SS) - Knock Out, F1 Style
Saturday 1530 - 1630 : Qualifying (SBK) - Knock Out, F1 Style

Sunday 0800 - 0825 : Warm Up (GS)
Sunday 0830 - 0855 : Warm Up (2T)
Sunday 0900 - 0925 : Warm Up (SBK)
Sunday 0930 - 0955 : Warm Up (SS)
Sunday 1030 - 1130 : Race 1 (SBK)
Sunday 1145 - 1215 : Race (GS)
Sunday 1230 - 1300 : Race (AT)
Sunday 1330 - 1430 : Race (SS)
Sunday 1500 - 1600 : Race 2 (SBK)

I know it's a pipe dream, but it makes sense to me.

 

You might wanna restrict the GS class quite a bit. Contrary to what
one would think, "slow" bikes can spin out of control as a class to
become extremely expensive. In AFM, one of the most expensive classes
at the sharp end of the field is the production 250, which is run
pretty much entirely on Ninja 250's. They've got people putting in
thousands of dollars into the motors because suddenly the power really
matters.
