for many the 2 race format is better, yes the tail enders of Class B may get lapped in Race 1 they could also be lapped in race 2 but with a break in between the two races they have a chance to do something about it.
Even I improved at Oulton in the second race after making a gearing change after the first race. When aarriving at Oulton for the first time in 8 years I had to guess at gearing and got it slightly wrong, changing gearing between races not only improved lap times but also the result.
For some one futher down the field that has no budget to go testing at tracks before race day what they learnin race 1 can give them a better chance in race 2. Yes if right at the back they may still get lapped but it could be later in the race and by less riders.
One race format may be all well and good at BSB or even MRO level but its not best suited to club level where Novices are meant to be learning how to race

I think the time has come for the RC and Reps to start asking around other clubs then lads.... you're quite clearly often unhappy with events at NE.

but what other clubs have the room for the DD two classes,unless the were mixed with another class??

Very true mate.. very true indeed.... However... lets face it, the racers on the whole are not happy with how NE are playing ball...

Would at least be worth a try ?

The way i see it, even if DD gets enough from 2 grids, NE are still going to change the rules week by week...

If the racers can get enough sigs in place as 'definates' for next season for 2 grids, take that proposal to the other clubs, they may consider it...

Much as DP are full... they have a couple of grids undersubscribed, i think they may be tempted.... NGRRC, dunno.... BEMSEE, i doubt they'd play....

But it's worth an ask at least ?
