Exactly as WJB says, run with the Superclub and you get all the good circuits thrown in free.

I didn't mind woodland so much, but could live without the hairpins....

Definitely didn't get on with Castle Coombe. Might be better if they resurfaced Quarry and didtched the last chicane.

Silverstone national would be 'orrible. There's only one decent corner on the whole track!

How about 8 rounds of the Superclub???

6 meetings (11 or 12 rounds) is surely enough for a 'budget' series?

More & it could put some people off, with the added costs?

10 rounds maybe too much of a financial and time commitment for the DD race series.........6 - 8 is optimum i think as has been suggested..........im happy to take the good with the bad and lets be realistic are there really any bad.......???? Cadwell woodlands aint the best track but i had one of the best races there with Ali...........so go figure...................

In my first season of racing, I don't think I qualified to answer which tracks should be dropped, having only raced on 3 of the many!

Hopefully though we'll have something different next year?

I think Cadwell Woodland was great for our first race, but I would not vote for it next year, Cadwell full, yes, - and its up North. - Oulton is the one to add.
Castle Coombe from a spectator/facility/ organisation point of view impressed me.
Lydden Sorry, way too small.
Nobody has mentioned Sneterton?

Snet is ok, happy to leave that in.

Wouldn't mind some more horsepower for that straight though! Like another 100!!

no, it was to add or get rid of rounds so i guess everyone is happy with them.

definitely seems woodland is top of the list to go followed by castle coombe.

and oulton seems favourite to come in.

i know nothing is decided yet and there will doubtless be opportunites to discuss further but interesting none the less.

also imho 8 rounds with your best 7 to count would be my prefered format. allows for holidays, family comittments, etc that us none pro racers have from time to time.

What would that Castle Combe decision be based on, only a couple of DD racers more for wanting out rather than in.
And when you look at the spectator turn out I would find it hard to justify dropping Castle Combe if was on offer next year, which it may not be as no doubt North Glos club will be bidding for the date as usual and as they as a club are growing then maybe next year they may get it.
I would rather go back to CC than Snetterton

[dickieducati]

just the fact that more want it out than want it in.

Don't forget that a lot of the replies to this thread are informal and cannot be used in a court of law :P

If there was to be any influence on the decision makers it should only come after all concerned parties had a full and proper say in the matter, dare i say to you all that this forum isn't the place to make such decisions.......
