Outside observer view of CCS

Making practice a qualifying session would not be a good idea. There are guys out there in practice (like me) who haven't been to the track in 2 months and are shaking down suspension changes, new tires, etc. Meanwhile, a guy like Melka is trying to put a hot lap in. Not a good combo.

Not to mention the financial incentive for CCS. Pre entries are money in the bank, and give the organizer a good idea of how many will show up to race on the weekend. If we were gridded by times, many would blow off pre entry and it would be alot harder for the organizer to plan the race weekend.

Glad to hear you are enjoying racing with us, welcome to the club!

Qualifying 3 or 4 classes like at an AMA National is no problem. However, try doing the same for 39 classes on a CCS weekend, that is a problem!

Wish I could do a "mind-meld" with some of you and let you see the confidence that comes from being surrounded by experienced riders you can trust in an environment that expects professional behavior even if the speeds are not.

That's why I went to the expert class instead of lingering in the Amateur field forever.

I agree completely.  Running with the experts, as a group they are so much more predictable.
