Will the rule be changed in Real Street???

[randbcustoms]

addressing #2 who in the class is new, looks like a bunch of pro riders, and i can't say jeremy is a pro rider at 18? is he a Rickey Gadson, Chip Ellis, Keith Thompson?

Addressing #3 we already have one of the biggest names in the sport, we build fast bikes and people get the throw there leg over them, who wouldn't want to ride one? Ask Jermey who pays is way to the track, who pays him to ride? He will say he does, not much sponsorship there, just an chance to ride a killer bike..

addressing #4, so getting any sponsorship you can't run the class, so if someone got free gas for the event they can't run? seems kida dumb to me.

your right the class doesn't have the new up and comers in it. THAT needs to be adressed. if you are a previous champion in any class other than an e.t. class you should NOT be allowed in a sportsman class. if they want to change it to a pro class, fine. but then they are limiting the sports growth. if they want to make a new pro class then fine. leave realstreet as a sportsman class and make a new one for the pro's..
and REALLY? you cant see jeremy as a pro at 18? he has 2 championships and he doesn't pay for or build the bikes he rides.. he's a jockey.. on a free ride. add that to the 2 championships and tell me what about that doesn't say PRO.. the kids a GREAT rider.. and i am glad he is succeeding in a sport he loves. i wish the best of luck for him. but, what if all the heavy hitters like mikey and such were in real street? would jeremy ever had been given a shot at it?Much less win it? NO!!!!!!!
and addressing#3- you do have a big name. if you do build the fastest bikes. show the world! IN A PRO CLASS.

a sportsman class should have no sponsor decals other than those offering contigency. if you get free gas great. the rider should be the registered owner of the bike. no free rides.. stop being so money hungry and look at the big picture. the sport needs growth. YOU are trying to stiffle it for your own monumental gain..

don't get is confused Jeremy would have a chance no matter who entered the class also think back his first championship was on a totally different bike(Suzuki not Kawasaki and turbo not nitrous)

[HouseOfSpeed]

not many in this class ride their own bike anyway it may have a few sponsored bikes but alot of sponsored riders by regular working people that are the bike owners

I love to see the heavy hitters like mikey get in RST,thay can get too

.. the kids a GREAT rider.. and i am glad he is succeeding in a sport he loves. i wish the best of luck for him. but, what if all the heavy hitters like mikey and such were in real street? would jeremy ever had been given a shot at it?Much less win it? NO!!!!!!!

Bet he wouldn't have, I believe he is great but I give alot of credit to the bike, If it isn't set up, you never go any where. No matter who was in the class, on anybody's bike he would have won, all we have to do is turn up the magic screw, I thought for sure after the 7.88 rules would have been changed but i guess I should have let it go some 70's..

try us

[ADAMS PERFORMANCE]

? NO!!!!!!!

The sport will never grow with out sponsors, We are not money hungry, you ask anyone, who races, who makes money at this, We lost thousands of ******s this year, but you have to look at the big picture We love to race anybody and love to win and that is what we do best, and do Love JT and just want to see him race, defend the mountain and see who can knock him off..

[ADAMS PERFORMANCE]

It is just a sad event that people can't see there is no harm to the sport or people, not to let someone race, I totally feel it has to be the rule in the book that has no good intention. It will make you bring someone else in that is a Pro Rider that just doesn't fall into what the "Rule Book" calls a "Pro Rider" and could race.

Vance and Hines could bring all there backing in with Eddie or Hines both pro stock riders and run the class, or any other large money Team. ( not saying anything bad about them boys they are awesome, just trying to make people understand). Or back Chip on his ride with some spare motors he went some 7.95 with just a street bike...

So what do the rules mean to keep out, a Kid from Ohio, or a guy with his own posters and Multi million $ contract that is on TV ever week?

SORRY J.T , think it's time to GO !!

I wish he could still run next year. Chasing the reigning champ gives you something to work hard for. I could be wrong but I would imagine any team who had a chance of beating the champ wants to come back next year and square up with the champ. This class is far from a sportmans class. Regardless of what this class is supposed to be, it's a heads up, whos got money, a good tuner, and A BAD ASS RIDER class. If you aint got all of those together then this class isnt a good choice. Theres always gonna be a handful of good riders/teams at the top and then the rest of the competition a couple tenths behind. Everyone is capable of putting together a 7second realstreet bike but not everyone has got that 1.36 60ft. clutch hand like my lil buddy. Like Cecil said in the other post "We need a 16 bike field with an A and B class". That away the guys who got good bikes but are still perfecting them riding skills can compete with competition on their level. Cause i know if i was riding my bike i sure as hell couldnt go 7.95 but I would ride it if there was a B class. With all that being said I guess I'm saying we want to compete with the best of the best and if Teasley is gone we'll never have a chance to beat the champ. And since we found that little screw garrons talkin bout, I think we'll keep on turnin it up an see what happens

[chicity1000]

I dont think They should ban any RACER from any class! What you can afford you should be able to race!
Should NHRA ban John Force from funny car because of all his championships?
I would love to see JT on a NOS prostreet ZX-14 though
If he can go a .88 in Real street trim he may open some eyes in prostreet!

[NCTWINGEE]

There is no debate here. The rule was in place from the beginning. Now that the rule happens to apply it all of a sudden needs to be questioned? I do not like the rule but I do understand why it was put in place. I would hate not seeing JT compete in a class of some sort in AMA. Either way JT is a great kid and fought hard this past season. Congrats on the championship to both JT and Adams Performance!!

I wont to race the best too

A true entry-level, limited budget class, Real Street is designed to give the entry-level racer a place to compete in heads-up, no breakout competition. Almost any racer currently competing in any Street ET class around the country can bring his or her bike, with little or no modifications, and experience true heads-up racing for the first time.

They might want to address this. You have a 7 second entry level class, I want to see the average street ET bike with a entry-level rider run a 7.90..

well put RRogers

Are the people in charge even considering a rule change?
