So then, seeing as nobody can agree on this.

Which way do you think the Desmo Due series should go in 2006?


1 championship for all machines (current series)

2 championships - 583 class and a 675/620 class

3 championships - 583 class, 675 class and a 620 class


So the first 675 may finish 7th overall, but will actually score maximum points in their championship for a win.

Option 2 or 3

Ak is looking at 2 options at the moment:

does he stay BB for the rest of the season, and then go back to 583 next year - for him to have a go in his 50th year?

or, does he keep on trying to develop the bb as it is, spending more time & money on it?

another option is to just say ?? hp max limit - but that could stop new entries coming in - after all it was set up to be a budget series (Skids - we are now over our budget)

One thing Alan doesnt want tho, is to be told only 2 classes next year, not any mods at all - if he has been allowed to spent dosh on R & D work this season.

This needs to be addressed sooner rather than later, as I am sure we are not the only ones looking to do a bit more

AK asks if there could be a meeting by/at Donnington (pref at Snottyton), to confirm the info for next season, regarding machines & hp etc.

Chris - what do you & the MT think?

Sorry Ian - this ought to be addressed sooner than later methinks

Just my half p worth - and I dont even race

[dickieducati]

i voted for 1 championship. freedom to choose your weapon of choice.

[domski]

I don't think you're wrong Dickie.

It really has to be 1 or 3... just can't see 2 ever working.

Folks

As I have already told a number of people on the phone and in person, the rules for this year are published and you have to live with them.

The race committee plan to sit down in advance of the Brands event and think about any modifications that might be made to the rules for 2006. Then offering time for discussion at that meeing with the current riders, before the last round at Cadwell.

Personally I tend towards the keep the rules tight so that there is limited modification allowed, this will keep costs down and place the importance on rider ability.

Right - the decision has been made.

Can we all move on from this now and concentrate on riding?

If you (and I mean TP and CB speficially) read the first post properly you'd see that the question was raised about what we'd LIKE to see happening in 2006!! Nobody is questioning the rules as they are for this year and I'll probably stick with it through next year anyway cos I enjoyed being on track at CC so much!

BUT if we are "stuck with" a single championship next year then those of us that bought (late model) 583's having been led to believe that a big bore kit (which, since buying my '99 583, I now understand isn't available for my bike) would make them competitive with a 620, will either have to be content with rumbling around at the back of the field or sell it (probably at a loss) to get a 620 or earlier 583 so we can BB it!? This may be a CHEAP way of getting DSC members onto the race track but who'd want to do it just to make up numbers?
