hey just looking into this class and will it be run at club meetings? and whos doing it? will there be a gd grid at s1? any thoughts. o and will be able to run our jnr tkm seeded numbers in it lol is it worth just staying in the normal junior tkm class wit the 3 weights rubbish or even looking at rotax? i hope not cause iv tried a rotax and im trying one again but they seem boring and the power to grip ratio is way out. tkm is much better but i just hope they havent killed juniors with these new class.

i seriously doubt there will be grids for junior extreme at club level in 2008,

will probably be a couple of years before there is enough people wanting to do junior extreme. (if they decide NOT to scrap the whole idea after one year)

Jack. From what i have heard they are not going to be at club meetings. It will be S1 and other big events like the TKM Festival. Dunno about the numbers, i doubt it.

I do not think the three tiers is going to kill Junior TKM. It should be better as it tends to stop the juniors who struggle being overweight in TKM from changing to rotax or another class. Im sure Talko have done a lot of research with the speeds of each tier and i doubt theres much difference between them at all.

thanks! dam i was hopin it wud be at club level.

what are you both doing?

maybe it would be possible to keep one 100cc engine for club level and do juniors and maybe do junior extreme for super one.

i am staying in regular junior for 2008... but if grids of junior extreme appear at club level within 2 years... i.e. before i am forced to move into seniors... then i may change to junior extreme

yer it does look gd it was similar at sheni and thre was a few at whilton too. but the normal junior class should be left alone. why have 3 weights and 3 restrictors!!?? its never going to be compeletly equal espically when everyones looking for that extra tenth in such a close class. one tier will have better bottom end n the lighter one will always be able to brake later etc. i no i will be able to fit all 3 tires so i could try one restrictor with loads of lead and then take the lead off and put a different restrictor on to see which is faster and everyone will be doing this at every track until everyone is on the fastest same one anyway. i just cant see it working in my opinion. why not leave the class alone! its great how it is. jnr extreme does sound good but they cant have both. there just isnt the numbers to split the class into 2! and no one wants to pay the extra money for a new engine or to have a new crank put on for a clutch! grrr tal-ko frustrate me.

oo does anyone no what happened to the new tkm exaughsts as well?

i reli dont want to do rotax but at the moment it does look the safest option as i know i will get a grid and some good racing at every track. i hope tkm will be the same.
