If it\'s a mixed grid then let\'s start together please
To be honest i'd much rather take my chances mixed in with the 620's than left sitting on the grid for 20 seconds whilst they get closer to lapping us. Last year we all started together and I only got lapped at the first 3 meets, and the last time was only by Geoff, so I'd be happier circulating with the tail end 620's to start with. Had some epic battles with a few 620's last year on my 583, I'm happy to give anyone a run for their money so long as I get a race!
These issues are cauing people to lose interest, the promise of 2 grids, the filling in races, the changes of laps, the rather large increase in race fees bladebladebla....
3 meetings - 3 battles - 3 fab meetings regardless, but it's getting tedious as noone really knows where they stand.
Yes we have a seperate championship regardless of split or single grids but this then also brings issues with things already mentioned above, lapping, qualifying, being stuck behind a 620 in corners and not having enough ooomph to get past. Believe me even I had that problem last year and I found it hugely frustrating. I'd hate to be a front runner feeling the same.
I can seriously see the grids dwindling even more, thats not good for anyone.
I don't have a magic wand, wished I did, I sincerely hope something can be sorted for the rest of the season.
What concerns me is paying out £120 for a place that may just entitle me to 15 mins of timed practice if A I don't go fast enough or B I don't get in 3 laps for whatever reason like last year.
However - CC isn't that big so perhaps single start would be better this time
Yes I know I'm not a DD racer. But if I was to consider entering, going out and buying a bike,etc. I'd be put off due to the fact I might not get to ride due to the combined grid.
