Define a non scoring Guest rider

Desmo Due Rules and Guest Riders

Just thought I would have a bit of a winge

With more racers intending to join in the series for the last round at Cadwell will they be classed as Guest Riders and not collect points or more importantly take points off riders that have been competeing since the start of the season if they do not meet the following Desmo Due rule

2.1.4 Qualifications for entry to the series

2005

Entrants applying after 12 February 2005 for the 2005 series will have to have been fully paid up members of the Ducati Sporting Club as at 1 January 2005, novice licence holders or not have raced for at least 5 years.

Its already been happening and along with riders getting away with jump starts it has an effect on the overall points total, I know it has on mine.

Well I know Hawk and T5mission (Adam) are expecting to be out at Cadwell and there may well be others.

As for the jump starts they know who they are, from my view on the 5th row of the grid the long hold of the red lights in race 1 looked as if it caught one or two out, one of which looked good on the video I was shown

How can they confirm a jump start? Are there some judges looking at us? THey're using video? Or maybe they can detect a moving transponder???

I jumped the start on race 1 but I was waaaaaaaay back on slot 34. I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought that it was a long hold on race 1.

Hmm, tricky one. On one hand in the original spirit of the series races should be open to any Club Members fulfilling the criteria, whether they registered at the start of the season.
On the other hand with only small numbers of points separating several groups of riders (yes, that includes me) it could be a bummer losing points, or worse having a "racing incident" over position with someone who is perhaps only using the round as practise for next year and may not meet the 2005 criteria.

Maybe points for the last round should only be awarded to people who have competed in one round this year, regardless of their meeting the requirements?

Tin hat on ;-)

And yes, it seemed a longer hold to me too!

Kev Im sure Adam will not be a points stealer, Cadwell for him is a test for next year, toe in the water so to speak. After his last episode there I would imagine him being very Ginger AHH 2 of em now sorry NB.
Dont know enough about Hawk to comment tho.
your Still top of the 583s And by the way you rode at Brands I can see you having no problems holding that position.
Speak soon
