I'm still waiting for my entry forms, but just wondered if the Superbike entry fee is around £800-£900???

I only ask, as they get 8 times more track time, and twice as many race laps as us, and we're paying £120??? for 15 mins qualifying and 2 combined 8 lappers?

So it must be way way more expensive to enter the Superbike race right?

All things being equal and that.

I think you should get paid Internatinal star and all that.

Yeah that's a point, how many BSB guys have won at Assen?

:P

In fact, years ago.... blah blah blah

I'm f-ing livid. I know we're not exactly a top-spec series, but Probike get nearly THREE HOURS TRACKTIME!!!

We get about 45 mins.

This isn't club racing, we're just paying to support Probike. Fcuk that.

C'mon Ali, don't beat around the bush and mince your words.

Tell us how you really feel!

I did think about posting exactly what I think of a certain profit-making race organiser but know I would be banned for life for expressing my opinions. Funnily enough I haven't really had a problem with them before, but the complete disregard we're being shown at this meet is appalling, especially as we paid a good slice of their wages last year and will continue to do so this year.

Somehow we've gone from:

1 x 15 min untimed practice
1 x 15 min timed practice
2 x 8 lap DD Class A races
2 x 8 lap DD Class B races

to:

1 x 15 min timed practice
2 x 8 lap mixed grid

I make that a cut down from about 90mins to 45 mins track time. This is even worse as CC have very few track days.....

ask the rider reps to request an untimed? - in view that the tracktime has been cut - and they are no longer prepared to let you have the 2 grids?
