Quite possibly ...... be nice to know if the change affects us or not.?....and we can still make known our discomfort in the change, i doubt any of us signed up for anymore than 1 single race at snetterton...

Sure if thats what is it...we will all still race i think.?...

Dont mean we have to take it with a happy smile and a cheery on top.......

Gleggy i just wanna race as well m8..........but in a way that is best for me and gives me the rewards i feel are just !! due to the level of financial /emotional and time commitments i have invested in DD........

thats all

I agree with you mate, but you must keep in mind that the racers have comitted and paid for something (otherwise maybe they wouldn't have entered the round), that's why we can't blame them at all if they moan when NE says, "well you will have something else".

That's exactly why NE accept to refund entry fees for racers who will ask so.

But then, we still don't know if DD is affected do we?

I'm going to have to stop in the middle and have a lie down if its 12 laps :lol:
And I'm going to need help getting off the bike afterwards cos I'll have siezed up :o
Can I book paddock space next to the medical centre :eureka:

In effect we buy track time from New Era at there meetings, we were hoping with 50 to 60 entries to buy enough track time for 4 races and timed practice, but due to lack of numbers this hasn't happened.
But we do have the numbers to buy track time for two races and a timed practice.
And this is hopefully what we will be aiming for, hopefully the MT member of the RC that deals with New Era is on the case.

Other classes are different, they may have classes where 50 to 60 entries have come in and with only 40 allowed in a race they may well be re-jigging things to try and accommodate most of the entries and maximise revenue (hence them mentioning the cost of the track hire), these other classes buy space on the grid as individual members of New Era which means they may have no say in the matter other than to withdraw there entry even at this late stage.

Hopefully we will still get our to races as per our championship conditions.

Hopefully a MT member of the RC will let us know whats happening before to long

last practice ends around 11 o'clock, last race around 5 o'clock, so you could be hanging around all day for one race. plenty of time for your brain to switch off.......
then if it's red flagged, you really have had a bum day.

looks like there may be a chance to continue as is then, which will be good for you guys by the sound of it.

Maybe we could do a deal and help out NE?

One slightly longer race at Donny and two normal ones at Snet?

It's still a b8mmer only doing one race, but at least it wouldn't mean a trek to s8dding Narfolk for just one race.....

And that helps how? It's six of one half a dozen of the other, and you're just suiting that to you? I'd rarther 2 at Donnigton like we are meant to have

If it's money again, why don't the RT play the card of we'll cancel ALL our entries if we don't get 2 races... then see how quickly Jim will get us two races??

After all fil's comments I want 2 races, I prefered that anyway and also I don't want to hang around all day waiting for the last race like was pointed out

We're not assertive enough with New Era and like many have said, we shouldn't be doing ****ing packed Superclub rounds in the first place, why do you think so many people are leaving DD?
