I do get fed up of a lot of the selfish views that are often expressed at this time of year, many seem to have no idea about the original aims of DD and just want to change it into another race club class like all the others.
At present I am looking at requests from the Chief Technical officer to do something about our DD series oil issues, Anglesey, Brands, Cadwell and Pembrey this year, so 50% of events effected by oil
Also the securing of petrol tanks to reduce the likely hood of fuel spillage such as we had a delay for at Pembrey in August.
Also trying to secure a tyre deal for 2014
Putting together a 2014 Entrants spreadsheet
Updating the rule books for 2014 and Looking into how going to 9 rounds effects the rules and how to come up with alternative wording to the rule.
Thinking about the entry entitlement for Class B as at the moment its a restricted entry Class with no requirement to move on.
Yet it seems some would like to have prize money in the way of vouchers which seems a bit unfair to me on the newcomers coming into the class that would effectively be paying money to the more experienced racers finishing ahead of them. Then if the voucher system is done away next year you end up changing the rules again.
Always bearing in mind that Class B as it is now will soon die off if we don't attract New Novice racers to it each year. And the constantly rising costs don't help. Higher fuel costs, higher tyre prices, Higher entry fees from extra race and extra rounds, soon a £4k season becomes a £5 season and new racers start looking elsewhere
As far as I'm concerned DD isn't broken so why mess with it more than you have to.
