Including the Twins is about offering another class for DD riders to enter, not about getting MTs out on the grid.

Yes some 400s with every tricked up bit on them may be above 80 bhp but a ZXR400 with a Ram airbox conversion, cams and full system all setup with a jet kit is about 68bhp, and for those of us that entered their DD bikes in the 400 allcomers with New Era often had some fun playing with some of the 400s but the main thing is the extra tracktime that was available.

DD could very easily have been excluded from this class, now we have an option

appreciate that kev .. always nice to have the option of extra track time

Can't see any point in entering that class at all on a DD bike.
Another example of this is the Hottrax Megabike, Superbike, Supersport classes this year. Which if it's like last year due to low entries will mean all three on the same grid again.

Maybe it's lack of understanding on my part but It doesn't malke sense to me trying to fill all those catagories. This is the reason iv'e decided to try ThundersoprtGB out this year. One class for billy basic golden era superbikes and busy grids last year.

think a lot of clubs make the same mistake .. trying to cater for everyone you end up catering for no one

biggest reason i like DD

So you like DD because a new race is introduced where the rules give you virtually no chance of being competative Doesn't sound much like racing to me.
