It was the first round of the Area Championship today. This year one track has been removed from the schedule essentially robbing 3 races from the series. So now it’s down to a 6 race series. This, while making things cheaper for the riders also means that not only is each race more important points wise but also experience wise.
Todays grid was a decent turn out with around 20 riders signing on. Including a few of the All Japan privateer teams. The other noticable and enjoyable part of today was the variety of bikes on the grid. The standard Japanese makes, but also a few Ducatis and a KTM 1198 and MV Agusta.
