I suggest a change to the LWSS class to add the Ninja 400 as this is the bike that will compete with the 321cc R3 and KTM 390 at other venues. There are horsepower limits in the class which the bike adheres to. The 250’s have a class specifically for themselves and are allowed in 2 more classes which they are competitive. Hardly any 300’s, R3’s or 390’s even show up and it would be nice to attract more riders from other clubs as well. The more bikes that show up...<br />
