I'm as positive as anyone else about DD, and always have been, but I know when I'm being shafted. When the dirty fecker printed the entry forms he made a commitment to all of the club members that we would have that race format. Now he wants to accept more entries to the cost of everyone else, and its not on. Can we really consider laying out the best part of £500 for a single race (not including the track day??). This has all gone seriously pear-shaped.......

i real hope there not doing it for this reason but ill raise it with them

[fil2]

so has anyone heard anything .??...

I rang them yesterday as per dom's email..and was told every class inc ours will be 1 Race...

Any feedback from the Reps or RC.?

im not sure i want to pay close to 300 quid+ for 1 days racing...actually 1 x 12 lap race thats if we actually get 12 laps...!

25 quid a lap................

Exactly the prob with that format !

I think we should have four races a meeting anyway

[fil2]

as a point ....!

in a 12 lap race....taking into account the combined grids and different pace levels..at lap 6 everyone is going to be in traffic lapping slower bikes and by lap 10 its gonna be chaos..LOL

And the guys at the back are certainly going to get less than 12 laps, after being lapped by the leaders.

Don't some of them usually get 1 lap less anyway ?
