C was the option! What were people thinking of!!!!
Non-Point scoring first round for virgin racers is surely the perfect start, It did not affect entries to Assen for us younglings either! And towards the end of the year we could have had 3 race weekend extravaganza/party in Norfolk…

Tut tut tut.

all great in theory but the ramifications of blowing up or falling at the first race at snetterton and missing 3 races.?....u might as well say good bye to any championship aspirations.

yeah thats what i may do. i really need the practice before the DD races, but really wanted to do the TA too as its the only one i would have done. i'll see how it goes and if i have the money later in the year i'll do the track attack as well.

Should only take me a day or two to slap mine back together most of the hard work is done thanks to scooter916 giving me a hand at the weekend. Just need to build my end can, paint the number plates YELLOW and move the run kill to the other clippon. Oh and put the offset woodruffs in wire it, rebuild the wheels, fit the exhaust, fit the bodywork buy sprockets, sort the brakes do the filter and oil, get a screen.....

OH ****.....

It's easy to be macho sitting in a warm office on a early feb evening, but anyone who says it's not more than touch worrying trying to outbrake someone into the old hairpin (or chasing through the woodland section) in cold wet conditions is a bare faced liar. As you go light over the crest of the last left, standing on the pegs, still on the gas, the absurdly-close tyre wall infront beckons, and the lumpiest curb on the circuit is on the inside of the harpin (although this sounds like it's changed). All in all not what I would pick to kick off the season, but that's what's on the menu this year. Many folk ended up in the kitty litter there last year, wonder who it'll be in 8 weeks time??

Personally I got one of my 3rds at Donny in torrential conditions last year, so I may come out to roll around at the back, get my sigs, and surprise a few folk......

2 rounds/signatures before Assen??

Don't forget that the DD series started in 2005, therefore most of you already qualify for Assen. The only people who may have a problem are the absolute novices who will need to do both rounds and get signatures.
