I was definitely racing and not circulating at Oulton in race 2. It may not be knee down chuck it on its side stuff but its still racing.

Having the choice is part of which tyres is part of the fun / tactics so restrictions of "it’s a wet race so you all have to put wets on" isn’t really the answer. Wet front dry rear etc. I think this thread is getting way too long and nothing can be changed before the end of the season so maybe we should just leave it well alone. Its aint broke, don’t fix it.

I think after Oulton I should have a pair of knobblies to put on, I might stand a chance of staying upright when on the grass

Think youre thinking of Tic Tacs Phil, dementia is a pain at times!

The tactics of DD are simple, if it's wet:- do you race or not, if you race then how hard do you push? If you don't then do you have a brew or a beer?

These were the rules when we all signed up so why do we have this conversation every year?

I know let's have wets, hang on, why not have a wet bike and a dry bike. That would save the wheel swapping issue!

Another brain wave has just hit me, let's use 1098s with traction control instead? That would make cornering in the wet safer wouldn't it?

While we're at it lets make it compulsary to have a 90ft Winnebago so we don't have cosy sleep problems either?

This only leaves 1 snag, how do justify calling it budget racing?

DD is probably the quirkiest series out there because of its rules and the great people who take part in it, I've had 3yrs of brilliant fun and wouldn't want it to change at all.
