These were the rules when we all signed up so why do we have this conversation every year? I know let's have wets, hang on, why not have a wet bike and a dry bike. That would save the wheel swapping issue! Another brain wave has just hit me, let's use 1098s with traction control instead? That would make cornering in the wet safer wouldn't it? While we're at it lets make it compulsary to have a 90ft Winnebago so we don't have cosy sleep problems either? This only leaves 1 snag, how do justify calling it budget racing? DD is probably the quirkiest series out there because of its rules and the great people who take part in it, I've had 3yrs of brilliant fun and wouldn't want it to change at all. |
Been on holiday for the last few weeks,missed all the banter, and wont be at Cadwell due to other reasons>
But I agree with this after experiance, I live in Scotland FFS!!!!
Racing in Scotland means needing to ride in the rain, but the stress of deciding if wet enough, getting wheels changed, sitting on the grid and thinking did I tighten that bolt/nut!!!!! It stopped race weekends being enjoyable for me. You change to wets, you then need to think about suspension set up, and you need to know how quick to push it on wetss
I travel to DD meetings because it is enjoyable, there are great people, regulations are controlled and monitored, and racing is fun because it is a simple as it gets.
And yes I do enjoy riding on wets.
