it would be good if the steve stanley's or other wsid track reps post a statement about the new class and there intentions for the season and reasoning for the 9.5 index. i can see that it would give many high 9 or low 10.00 riders an incentive to race against non barred racers on a low budget which is part of why the class has started. ie late model bike with xtd arm that would not meet comp bike requirements. mod bike in nsw doesn't usually get large fields ie 30 plus so this might be why they have gone this way to encourage the many streeters to have a crack where as comp bike is almost non existent in nsw as the nitro champs comp bike class would have been scrapped had the interstate racers not fronted. like spaman has said you get to run on a prepped track but if your numbers are good they might run an a & b group. ie 9.00 vs 9.5 indexes if numbers support it and if the fast guys front on the 9.5 then they will have to revisit it for the following season. if you run under 9.5 you would have to be a good chance of winning mod bike and if you manage top qualifier maybe a solo along the way. my 2 cents. cheers ian. be interested to see the progress of ps/b at wsid.
