I would have said practice sat then a point race and second point race on sunday, gives time for bikes to cool down and any repairs to be made if there are fallers in sat race, but what do i know i just go to have fun and do what i can.

The rules at the start of the season say there are two point scoring races per round,

To Me Anglesey is a long way to go for just one day so to have a extra practice and an extra race for a extra £35 makes the trip more worthwhile

Sometimes I wonder why I bother

Hey Kev, I never whinge.
I just express my opinion based on the fact I may not know what I am talking about.

Kev, you have a thankless task. Someone would complain either way (my vote proved that). However, I'm not sure many would moan about 3 championship races.

However, looking at what is proposed.... last year when we had a non-champ race on Sat a lot of people sat it out, even though it was good practice for the race. Often the grids were only half full... So when it is non-championship, too late for extra practice for the race, and so far from home, I can see a lot of people going home. Just the way it is.

I agree its a difficult job for Kev and i dont envy him, i am now however trying to see if i can get out of my pre booked pre paid for Saturday night accomadation and not loose any money, as i cant see any point in me staying over untill sunday to do what would basicaly be a one session trackday.

A better solution would be as i mentioned before Practice over race distance, Qualy, point race Saturday and second point race Sunday with same grid position.

[Jolley]

To be fair Kev, you should consider it a job well done that this is the only thing we are "discussing".

Don't forget this is Anglesey being discussed. By Saturday eve all the gazebos will have blown down and the rain will have flooded the paddock..............Sheep will be wandering round chewing on race scrubs and with a wry grin on their face as the stupid englishmen figure out why the welsh even inhabit the island. I love anglesey and will ride sunday whatever.

FFS, it's not really much different than previous years, just the days swapped over.

Those who didn't want to do both turned up Saturday and only raced Sunday, this year it's vice versa and like Craig said we can have a good craic Saturday and those southern lightweights who can't handle it can stay in bed and listen to the real boys race if they've not already ran away back to mummy!
