OK, if I understand this correctly (and please correct me if I'm wrong)...

You don't want to go to Snetterton coz you're not keen on the circuit and also don't want to do 20 laps on your bike?

That's fine. You don't have to go.

BUT, you can't then try to influence what happens at that event, just so that it doesn't affect your championship.

It's not the Kev Ellis Trophy you know. There are 40+ people going to Snett, and if anyone should decide what format the meeting runs to - it's them!

I will be making a 600 mile round trip and spending £300+ to attend the Snetterton meeting. If I can get 2 points scoring races on Saturday, or one on Saturday and one on Sunday (or even 4 combined races), then I will campaign for that. It's a long way and a lot of cash to turn up Sunday morning to do 20 laps - which like last year (and at Assen), could turn in to far less.

If you're not going, I don't think you have a voice.

The point of dropping races, isn't so that you can drop Assen and Snett.

You should be rewarded for making the effort and spending the time and money to race in the series - not punished.

Just my 2p.
