why not?

everyone used to race in SOT as extra practice so why not a 600 class?

I am entered as I am going to be there and it beats sitting around watching

I think after seeing Mr Jolleys bike after a practice session with 600s at Pembrey I cant see many people want to rush into that one

explain?

[bradders]

was punted off - literally - by one of the cop bikes (I hear - didnt see said crash)

I'd rather race with 1000cc monsters than 600 nutters tbh. When I have done test days, its these guys that always try and kill you; god forbid what it would be like racing with them. And if there arent enough DD peolpe it would be boring after 2 laps when they've all cleared off. Its not like allcomers was last year

[Bionicle]

Got to agree with Paul on this one, its definatly not like allcomers last year, I think most DD guys enterd that.

Dont think i would want to be out there mixing it up with them on my DD bike, dont think that Ron even got an apology from the guy who shunted him off

[Lily]

ahh well, guess i will be on my own then

[Jolley]

Yep, the guy wanted the apex of the flat out right-hander before the last bend despite the fact I was already there. Fortunately the bike flipped, so only cost me a tank/clip-on/screen/pair of Supertech R's/hole in my arm/3 holes in my leathers/another broken finger.... It could have been worse at 100+mph!!

I can see that was probably a crappy incident, but (just to be a little devil ) would it have been any different with a different class or power bike?

these things happen and I know from experience that there are always two sides to every incident ...and then the actual facts. Not saying anyone was right or wrong as I wasn't there. But wondering if it's a reason to not ride/race with 600 or just an unfortunate incident?
