Grading for this years racing :)

[chubb]

awww its a bloody plot against me!

I think Ed has already written a letter to MNSW to put me up to C seeing how unfair it all is..

I will protest the B upgrade as I want a chance to win some $2 trophy!

[chubb]

I'm writing the letter for you now. How he feels it's unfair you're best mates and want to continue to race together. How he's only got a stock motor and everyone else has got cams and head work. He wants to be B just like you and JC.

Sign and send - all done

I need to win lotto to do some motor work...

[mercho]

Pretty sure mines stock, or did you do some sneaky work to it JC??? (please say you did) lol

[chubb]

well you got the likes of Marshy to compete with in B grade this year on his suber uber speccy R6 that puts out 160 HP

[senator8]

Just buy a motor already done or buy a 1000. Job done

Just don't tell Baddie or he'll research it on the internet to show you're doing it wrong. If not for him I wouldn't know higher compression and slipper clutches don't work.

What else were you expecting Dan? Enjoy the D whilst you can ... this time next year we should all get bumped to C.

It's exactly what I was expecting but I was hoping I got bumped but had no rational basis for thinking I would. Oh well, next year!

[Marshy]

Holy crap... someone call Guinness! We have two riders in the world that actually WANT to get graded up (and both in this thread, no less)!! This has never happened in the history of Aussie motorcycle racing!! Everyone else wants to go down a grade, or a least stay the same.....

[Mr.Ed]

I'm happy to stay the same but just for one more year... that's also because I don't them to have to go to the trouble of creating a new E grade just for me. Even though I deserve it.

haha C grade and a (cheat) R6 would make me well happy

[dan]

actually A grade would make me happy - got to start somewhere though!

[chubb]

Again Ed

[Mr.Ed]

[Tristan]

I'm a C...! I know some of you already knew that.

[Marty]

The reason is because of that thread where everyone insisted that all us newb D graders would be moved up to C. At the time we were arguing with it but we probably all spent the last few months "knowing" that we'd be C graders this year then when we get graded in D we get the feeling of disappointment.

Goes to show that the grading system really is a black box of mystery.

[dan]

I've only done that one race weekend so not much of a surprise I guess. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be at a solid C pace (at least!)

There's probably a sub-clause in the grading handbook that says something about needing to finish your first race meet for it to count

Sorry, couldn't resist

He only missed the restart of the last race on the last day ...

I finished it in the medical centre.

Pfft. Never ruin a good story with the truth!

[motorbiker]

So apparently Chubb has regraded me to B grade somehow. Not exactly sure how it happened, because I never got a letter in the mail and I even CALLED mnsw who told me I hadn't changed grades this year... But Chubb said so and it also seems that he's somehow managed to rig something with Jan...

On the positive side, Chubb won't be able to win a $2 trophy over me - different grades now. On the downside I expect to be the last placed B grade racer and to be overtaken by MANY C graders who are plenty faster than me (which will be humbling).

Marshy - if you ruled the world and grades were set according to lap times (apparently they are?), what lap times would you set to what grade (to keep it simple, lets keep it in SMP GP circuit terms)?

No more pink vest for me in 2016 C grade baby hehehe

Well deserved mate!! Your times have dramatically improved lately.

I'm still B grade. I'm happy and sad about that.

[Binksy]

So I have to race Mstevo now?? Man I didn't sign up for this shit :P

B grade and in 1000's for next year. Sounds like fun, but I'm glad I stocked up on $2 trophies this year.

Jan throws darts at names stuck to a dart board. It's a joke.

What lap times were you doing?

You can protest the decision for a couple of weeks.

Didn't even race this year except for FX C/D grade. Some how I jumped all the way to the top.

[Ruckos87]

Will be a vest for me, also in D grade.
doing RYM and see how I go. If I'm up to pace.

Pb in the 41s on a 600

[Turbo]

Only managed one race meet that didn't require a helicopter evacuation, this year... so I'm still D

[Marshy]

Pb in the 41s on a 600

Yeah rite!! That's not hanging around. I reckon that's B grade

[Marshy]

Without thinking about it too hard, I'd reckon something like:

A grade <1:36
B grade <1:42
C grade <1:50
D grade >1:50

[chubb]

C grade for me

[Turbo]

Yeah, not currently done on times tho. How does one effectively combine experience and speed? Should they even be combined?

[Turbo]

C grade for me

[Marshy]

C grade for me

Yeah of course. You run in TON's pick-your-own-grade series. You were doing 37s last time out at the Creek, and it's not even your local track. C grade my ass.

The old Ninja 250. Keeping it real.

St George sees the light putting me in A then??? C grade for AASA next year still though ...

[Builda]

R those times for 600 or big boys

[Marshy]

R those times for 600 or big boys

Big bikes. Add, say, a second for 600s.

[Linden]

D grade >1:50

Does that mean I can get relegated back to D .... actually bugger that don't want no stinking vest

Big bikes. Add, say, a second for 600s.

missed that bit so how many secs for me ... (actually plan on getting Wayne to ride mine one day to see what an absolute time would be )
