[quote=harriebird]i know the effort that went into winning them (and yes, one in particular, i know i know!)
No one in particular put in more effort than anyone else, we all put a lot of work and effort into our results. Unless of course you meant you wanted to SEE one person in particular!
It's not very "sporting" of the Ducati Sporting Club not to keep its end of the bargain though and reward its members. I've never heard of any other racing club not handing out the due trophies at the end of the season.
The DSC goes on about how Class B is for people new to racing. But this also means receiving a championship trophy is a big deal to them as it's most probably their first ever. This makes it doubly important for the trophies to be handed out properly at the end of the season as per regulations, not as an afterthought at the first round of the following season when no one could care less. I'm sure it's also important for those who've won championship trophies before, but I wouldn't know.
It's not like the forum is my first port of call and I'm bringing the series into disrepute by discussing this publicly. I've contacted the DSC several times about this and was assured it'd be sorted by January. Oh look, it's February!
The whole thing has lost its shine for me now, but it's something the DSC may want to bear in mind for the future as I'm sure other newbies will feel the same.
