View Full Version : Doing both classes on a 583???


domski

So anyone with a 583 can race in Class A & B, but the 620 riders can only race in Class A?

Is that fair?

I think that if you ride a 583 you race in Class B, and if you ride a 620 you race in Class A.

None of this doing both classes crap.

If you want more tracktime, then enter Sound of Thunder.

Your thoughts?

If someone wants to ride a 583 in 620 (and race in the 583) - good luck to 'em.

As long as they don't stop 620 riders getting a spot and it keeps the race entry funds in the DD, seems fine to me.

thought the rules had been changed due to sufficient numbers on the grid so that you can only enter either one or the other now.

Chris Wood

That was my understanding Tim,

In order to leverage volume with the organising clubs and promote the fact we could have two strong grids at each race, i would rather see 583 boys entering dd 620 that SOT.

Happy to put it to the vote of 620 riders and the 75% majority rule could apply either way.

I guess those that would give it a go on 620's would, a: be competent enough to not ruin anyones race and/or b: just out for some track time and not mess with the GP gods at the sharp end? IMHO

whats the difference between a 583 entering 620 class or Sot class for extra tracktime..we are all entitled to enter 2 races...620 can go SoT if they wish.?

Look, there isn't a single person on a 583 that will beat me on my 'new' 620.

This is purely in the interests of fairness.

Is it fair that some 583's will take points away from slower 620 riders?

All of us are paying good money to be there, in their own class.

If you 'just want extra track time', then go in SoT instead and affect NOBODY.

We can all do Sound of Thunder.

We can't all do 583, and we can't all do/afford 620.

I don't think anyone who is doign 620's should be allowed to buy a 583 and do that 'for extra track time' or indeed to try to win the championship.

If you can buy 2 bikes, you have an unfair advantage on others too.

If you want to race 583 - then race in 583.

If you want to race 620 - then race in 620.

If you want extra tracktime - then race in SOT.

Dom, Chris DID confirm this back in Dec, that as they had enough entries now in each class, that they would be kept separate.
I did a search for the post, but it - and the thread it was in have vanished. I do have a copy of it on a word doc tho - as is often the case, I copy & paste over for AK to read later in his lunch hour etc, as we didnt have a printer at home till 2 weeks ago.

10-Jan-2006, 20:13
Have I missed the plot here?

The argument appears to be you cannot run a less 'powered machine' in a 'higher powered' class becuase you would get more track time?

Is someone now to monitor all trackdays to ensure no rider gets more hours than anyone else, and what is the allocated amount of tracktime allowed? Does this also include European tracktime?

I think my brain is going to hurt trying to straighten this one out in my head !!!

CK - A 583 never got near me when I was riding a 2005 620 - which is what I'm riding this season.

And that race you're talking about, I set the fastest lap for a 675, coming from dead last through the traffic and then broke my arm.

Has everyone forgotten the last race of the season too?

The first time I sat on a 620 with anything like 63bhp... Where was Phil then? Where were all the 675's and 583's?

3 seconds a lap behind that's where.

I tell you what, letting 583's in to 620 will not affect me coz I'll be up front somewhere.

The thing is, people think this is Domski just trying to wind everyone up, so you poke some fun in my direction - poke away fools.

I was sticking up for you slow people and what I believe is FAIRNESS - so when you get your arses kicked by Phil and anyone else on a 583, don't complain coz you missed out on points coz of the nasty men on 583's.

Not read every reply but if a 583cc bike entered in both classes it should mean the race order should always be 583 class followed by the 620 class, otherwise in the case where the two classes follow on from each other it would not only be the advantge of extra track time but also coming to the grid with pre warmed tyres.

Which would certainly give an advantage over the other 583s if someone had just been out with the 620s and yes if the 583 class was first up then those bikes would carry the same advantage of warm tyres onto the 620 grid, although with the power difference the advantage of warm tyres on a 583 is not going to have the same effect.

The same situation could apply to the timings of the SoT races too.

I can't see the DD races being back to back though, if you were in both (and I'm sure that New Era would encourage race fees for both) you'd need to be lining up for your next race before you've fininshed the first - maybe?

skidlids
11-Jan-2006, 20:49
IF race order was SoT-620-583 do you really think riders doing Sot and 583 have a advantage over one doing 620 and 583, why would anybody on a 583 enter SoT they may as well just enter 620 and I for one can see a problem there.
I have also come around from the slowing down lap left the circuit by the exit then gone straight back to the collecting area and out onto track again to take up my grid position, certainly gives you a lot of confidence in your tyres knowing they are warm and if its raining you have just been out on track and know where the standing water etc is, another nice little advantage.

Hmmmm - I think it depends upon a number of factors;

- how "spirited" the 583 rider feels in the 620s.
- the size of their ego
- their ambitions within the other series.

If they are using the non-583 session as practice, when racing in the 620 series, they are much more likely to compete (egos won't allow them to take it easy) and tire themselves out trying to mix it with the 620s.

If they enter the SoT series, they will realistically not be able to keep up and be less likely to wear themselves out as much, as they can be more conservative in their approach.

Would you try harder on a 583 in the 620s or the SoT? If you answer "it would be the same" - I don't believe you ;)

This thread could come back on track.....

My last version of the rules states the classes would be run in different order at each round.

I'm interested on the rules, and then feelings of all those racing. Is this acceptable or not to compete on a 583 in the 620's, just like a number of us did using SOT last year. Does the club and the DD series benefit from 583's doing 620 rather than SOT?

I would vote for the enter one series - get points in series only in DD. This takeas away the points earning issue.

My view would be that the option for riders to line up on both grids was valid if the number of entries was low.

However, my understanding is that with each series now having around 30 riders each, there is no longer a need for this option to "make up the numbers".

I'd like to see a grid of 620s and a grid of 583s.

But as long as the 583s do qualify for the 620, let 'em out there - as long as a 583 rider does not prevent a 620 rider from taking part.

11-Jan-2006, 22:46
Well if your doing the 583 because its the cheaper class then in the spirit of it why keep trying to gain an advantage by spending more money on practice.
There are only so many places in SoT, so if everybody applied then some would miss out, like wise if all 583 riders applied to race in the 620 again some would miss out and how would you determine who, would it be 620 riders who got there paperwork in late.
If I ever race in the 620 class(be it on a 620 or a 583) I don't expect to be able to return to the 583 class the following season.

Skids,

I guess it's a numbers game and I don't want to **** off any one in either
class in DD.

I'd like to be able to run in a couple or races each race day as I won't get enough track day test time, so spend time in SOT learning and getting faster.

If there is no benefit to DD in running in 620's then that's OK.

I would rather run in 620s' than SOT due to the nature of the competititon and the bike not being deeply underpowered in SOT.

You make a lot of good points, but not this one :lol:

If it's for extra practice/tracktime/learning then it doesn't matter if you're underpowered in SOT does it - because you're just practicing/learning etc etc.

I would have less issues with this if 583 riders didn't score in the 620 class, then you're not 'taking' anything away from a 620 to whom this is their only series.

But then, what if you get in the way when Geoff et al, come around on the final lap and you're in the way and alter the outcome of a race that you're using for practice/learning etc?

At least if you mess up in SOT you're not gunna upset anyone in DD.

I dunno, it looks like with 30 in each class that this won't be an issue. However, you can have 38 or 40 on some grids...

The only advantage that I can see is that the DSC gets an improved reputation with New Era, as we are providing fuller grids which equals more revenue.

The fact that the reveneues would be the same, as the individuals would probably compete in SoT anyway is irrespective. Perception is reality!!!

Or are there 583 riders who would enter the 620 and not the SoT because of the power difference?????

Whilst i do see a certain amount of logic, surely the plan should be to allow 583 riders who are prepared to comitt to a full season of 583 and 620 into the class.

Then they are full mmebers of the 620 class and therfore not taking away someone else's championship positions but gaining them for themselves ?

Do you feel the same about Hodgson and Walker in WSB at Donington park in 2000 ? Hodsgon and Walker taking Chilli on the last lap ffor victory and taking him from 25 points to 16...... Was that also wrong ?

How about Olivier Jacque in the rain last season on the Kwakka ?

Or even down as far as Shakey getting the Camel ride ?

After all they were not competing in their own series/class... should they have been allowed to score points ?

12-Jan-2006, 10:15
i really dont think its an issue. as dom says, no one who is any good; ie really bothered about their points haul; will be affected by any 583s in the 620 grid. they simply wont be near them. as for other near the back of the grid, they will most likely welcome the competion.

if the DD rules allow 583 into the 620's i assume all 620 entrants will be given priority by new era as i believe SOT guys were over DD'ers at brands?

My only issue with it is the race order if a 620 race is directly before the 583 race I can see it getting used as not only extra practice but also used for warming the tyres. And if one starts doing it so will a few others.

Dom in that result sheet at least my best lap was only just under 4 secs slower than yours, shows how much difference the traffic makes starting futher down the grid compared to starting on the front row.
Also notice I was only less than 2.5 secs behind the bike you previosly rode in the series and actually had a faster lap.

regarding race order. from a personal point of view it would also be nice if there were a reasonable gap ( 3 races?) between 620 and 583 to enable us to watch the other series.

LOL..once again i agree.....its gonna be great to watch the other race............

I was going to enter my 583 in the 620 class..but in hindsight i have decided to pull my entry and i will use SoT instead....As it has been mentioned my main concern was taking away valuable points from the battling 620's and we all know how important points are ! so i now see it as unfair...

POINTS means PWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZES........

I've really had enough of all this pre-season crap, Cadwell can't come quick enough.

Cadwell had just better be point scoring. Otherwise its another farce waiting to happen. :flame::flame::flame::flame:

If Cadwell is non-points, I'm not going. Why would I?

Let me think this through;

March weather, miles away, I can practice locally, race costs, fuel costs, time costs, I could go and bin the bike for no gain!!! - makes no sense to me.

Why would I go?

I want to race for points, not go on a fashion parade.

Hmmm - whe are we due the official dates? It'd be a shame to do a trackday the week AFTER the race ;)

i'm at Cadders in March, points or not, probably the only test/race day before season proper starts...

Or maybe Mallory ACU or Silverstone as local to me.

But will only put in one day before season starts.

I couldn't care less who is on a grid with me or what they are riding :) I have to beat who is there with what I've got and that's the bottom line ;) The rider I'm sponsoring in superstock this year would beat all the 620's on a 583 so none of our bikes are the limiting factor to our lap times ;)
