Just curious about the section difficulty for the EX and PRO lines; is the scores in the PRO class going to be single digits for the winners or will there be a real challenge to show off for the "media"??
What ever happened to the section orchestration formula ??? When the pro class has multiple scores under 10 points that is BS. There is supposed to be a course marshall and a inspection of the sections to make sure that the section difficulty is up to snuff. As in the other discussions about our young riders being able to step up their game, how can this happen when the NATC series is a bunch of Fun Trials; IT IS A NATIONAL SERIES, not local events; Hopefully the rest of them will be reasonable!
On one point, apparantly the items voted on and approved by the NATC at the meeting can be changed by some of the members after the fact without the touted active negotiations. Also adding the displacement class shouldn't be a big deal if it will in fact broaden and improve the quality of the riders. What is so hard to understand about that concept ---it obviously has merit with the success overseas!
I have a few outings on my 06-300, the clutch is not an issue, pull and engagement is fine so far, very light and quick (have to be aware of the throttle on a steep hill)and the engine pulls Cleanly from idle (no cleanout required.
David Chaves rode one at Tennessee and got 3rd in EX class, he rode it well and seemed fairly comfortable with it. The only downside was it seemed hard to start when warmed up and if stalled.
Haven't heard too many rev cleanly without pre-revving with the clutch in till they clean out, if porting will clear that mess up why don't the stockers do it. As to the top riders riding stock bikes, other than Sheffield, they all are riding fairly heavily modified rides!

RYP has used "interesting" tactics before!
It was not a suggestion of cheating or underhandedness, just an observation of using the rules to their best advantage!
