2007 was the first year for MotoGP RBRC

Yep this blows.

Now that the season is over, I thought that I'd revive this thread. The kid who had gotten a spot in the Rookie School ended up as our regional superbike champ, 11th in our national superbike series, and 7th in national sportbike. He showed consistent improvement all season.
