So who's racing AMA this year? Hopefully you!

I'm stealing this topic from a thread on a more local board that CEO and I are both on... here's a copy/paste of how it started, just wondering what kinda feedback I'd get on here:

Like the title says. Which of you current 600cc MW guys are going to line-up at a AMA race this year?

In case you missed it, the AMA changed Supersport for 2010. Last year Supersport was only for 16-21 year olds and was the series development class. Well it's still the development class, but now it's open to all riders with a Expert club license. The class will now score points for Young Guns (16-21) and Top Guns (22+). It will be one wave but again, scored separate.

So yup. Who's going to go for it at VIR or NJ? If I had a 600cc bike that fit the AMA Supersport rules I'd do it.

I'm waiting for my 2010 sponsorship details to be finalized to see what I can afford to do... If I can, I may end up "stealing" my teammates R6 & whisk it away to NJMP or VIR for a weekend

Apparently the Qualifying cut-off percentage is pretty generous...
107% for ASB (was 108% last year)
110% for DSB and SS, which should be cake for a decent amount of experts if you know the track well.

Last year at NJMP, P.J. Jacobsen won the pole with a 1:24.391
110% of that is a 1:32.830... I bet I could pull that off. I did a 36.6 at a track day on my LWSS SV650 with Loudon gearing.

And Josh Day took pole at VIR with a 1:29.398
110% of that is a 1:38.34... Hm... It's been years since I was at VIR... but think I did a 1:55 on an EX500 that was topping out at 105mph by Pit In!
