I'm keen for this post to be a new DD record.

1. I'm not sure the MT are banging on about keeping the costs down? It has been the ongoing principal in DD.

2. Crappy road tyres seem to have worked for a number of people over the years - Cobby, Andy, Matt T., etc,etc,etc,

3. As ever people can choose to spend what they like - within the agreed guidelines/rules, blah... Does my Corse Tshirt make me faster?

4. Rules have been reviewed/changed and agreed every closed season of DD.

5. Volunteer organisers seem to be doing OK, over the last 5 years.

6. People come, people go - thats life, stay if your happy, go if your not.

7. Is it broken?

In summary DD has been/is a great series with a great paddock atmosphere, long may it continue.

I've never been to Africa, but a lot of people tell me it's there and so I believe them...

So what else is it about? Please feel free to make a list of points that you would like to see addressed and I shall respond to those too, but personally I was responding to your query about the letter of conformance from Pirelli.

Rules for DD are set by those who spend THEIR time constructively organising it, not whinging.
As Mr Couchie and Mr Woods appear to say we all have 2 choices.
If the tyres chosen for the series are not to your liking I'm sure another club can accommodate you!
If you don't like Marmite don't whine about on the Marmite forum.
Tell some one who gives a flying ####. Try peanut butter.

Those in the DD paddock are having fun hence the grids in difficult times are still some of the biggest in New Era.
Why do some people seem to want to try to **** things up by posting on a forum. Forums don't have any power to do anything.

Broke my elbow and coc6 at Pembrey on Sunday, the drugs and cider have taken their toll tonight.
Wanna rip someones arms off and beat them to death with the soggy ends.!!!
So if this offends...... #### off.

I'll be back next year if you'll have me, cos its fun and, for the most part, with pretty good folk.
