Class C1 eligibilty
A mate of mine is prepping an 853 for racing, and was going to enter class C1. However, he is a novice. He can enter Hottrax supercup though, on the same grid. Should novices be allowed to enter class C1 then?

I do qualify on one point.........though my mental age is only around 9 years old. Would allowing DD novices riders in class C1 be at the detriment to entries into Class A and B? Or would it increase the overall DD entries if novices where allowed into all three classes?
But seeing as hottrax are encouraging novies into the supercup class, any riders on ducatis I feel should be encouraged to join our gang of ignoble warriors.
It could be come a mine field as Dave is hoping to have enough for two grids. It could be possible that Class 1C shares a grid with the Superbike class and therefore No Novices. So if we did allow Novices in they then may have to share the Grid with the Supercup guys. So you could end up with Class 1C rookies racing on a dufferent grid to the Non Rookie Class 1C riders.
As the DSC through Desmo Due classes A and B already provide two classes suitable for Rookies/Novices do we really need to provide a 3rd class for rookies. It's been bad enough trying to get experienced Class B riders to move to Class A let alone attract rookies to Class A

I agree there is no need for another novice class. IMO starting racing as a novice in DD (A or B) is way fast enough and perfect for building on your skill level.
