Having just seen Bemsee's provisional race dates I'm so glad we don't race with them. It's not very good unless you like Brands that is.
Their paddocks are going to be chocca with club and mro racing together

It's not all classes and it's not all of those dates as well. There are 14 dates and only 9 rounds so the real indication will be once the split is worked out.

I'm looking at it but it's a bit of a pipedream for me really ...

Felix isn't Cadwell far enough North, I think thats af far North as they go otherwise they stray into the Midlands with Donington and Darley moor

True - and when they let on about that I guess it will look different.
Bemsees made lots of changes for 06. Will be interesting to see how it works out.

Kev, Donington is just fine (as is Cadwell, of course). Let's see if I'll make it this year. Have they finalised their dates yet?

the May 6th date at Cadwell is when they are down to run the ACU juniors, for which dates have been announced for that series with the races run by several clubs. Other than that no other dates yet although a provisioal race calender should be announced soon

I'm entering Thunderbikes on one of my two 800ss bikes.

One will be in Minitwins spec for MRO, the other will be breathed on and seriously lightened for Thunderbikes. I was thinking of getting a 1000ss but, I'll sit tight for the time being to see how the series pans out before making that leap. The risk is that if the series folds then I'd be left with a bike in a racing dead end whereas, with the 800 I might be a bit short on power but, I'll still be eligible for Minitwins. And... the 800 would make a good development base for a 1000 in 2007 anyway.

So you've made the decision then, nice one.

I got the info pack last night, and the schedule is posted on visordown by Sarah Jordan.

There's two big holidays in there for Thunderbike riders.

Snetterton - 25th and 26th of March
Lydden Hill - 8th and 9th of April
Brands Hatch Indy - 13th and 14th of May
Croix en Tournois - 27th and 28th of May
2 Month Gap
Brands Hatch Indy - 29th and 30th July
2.5 Month Gap
Brands Hatch Indy - 14th and 15th of October
Snetterton - 28th and 29th of October

No Cadwell, no Brands GP, two HUGE gaps in the racing, 3 times at the Indy and two of those back to back and racing at the end of October? Hrmmmm I know Thunderbikes is the newbie class on the scene but IMO that is a very poor calendar. Very unimpressive.

I have to say that New Era have the variety and pic of the circuits for 06. There must be some serious issues with Bemsee/MRO to have dropped this far down the pecking order I would guess. Am I wrong?

If Thunderbikes did get an extra date you'd be praying for Cadwell!!

North Glos Sound of Thunder and Minitwins should get to race at
Thruxton, Silverstone, Donington, Brands Indy, Cadwell Full, Pembrey and Darley Moor which isn't a bad choice of circuits.
But still waiting for their provisional calender.

As for that Thunderbike schedule Snetterton and Lydden are tracks I can happily avoid doesn't leave much else does it just Brands Indy and the Coix Go-Kart track
