Always bearing in mind that Class B as it is now will soon die off if we don't attract New Novice racers to it each year. And the constantly rising costs don't help. Higher fuel costs, higher tyre prices, Higher entry fees from extra race and extra rounds, soon a £4k season becomes a £5 season and new racers start looking elsewhere

As far as I'm concerned DD isn't broken so why mess with it more than you have to.

I totally agree- why d'you need prize money- my first pot at about £7.5k seems well worth it and got there on ONLY 5 tyres from when i joined 2 seasons ago (and 2 of them are still good for next season)- nice and simple with closely matched cheap bikes makes good racing that even i can almost afford-

stick to yr guns kev- it's a philosophy that works- can't see class b dying anytime soon and it looks really promising for next year judging by the end of this season with a good core of guys with great attitude-

can't wait for next season and wouldn't change anything apart from maybe being sponsored!!
