The official line from Chris Bushell...

i can see how the new era form could cause a bit of confusion

but how i see it and the phone calls iv had with new era and DSC we are doing the long race on sunday. which is what i put down

now if we get 25 riders for each class then we get a long race for class A and B if not we are on the same grid.

sorted

Good point, well made.

Feel free to tell me to mind my own business, but i can't help thinking that sometimes you are all your own worst enemies with this series.

Skids is trying to tell you in a round about way....

IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH ON THE GRID.... you will get your own grids and be able to make more decisions on the rest of the meetings/season.

The guys who are messing about and not putting their entries in until late are the ones who are causing the issues.

Correct me if i'm wrong here Skids/Rattler.... if enough had entered early enough for CC, do you think you could have got 2 grids/races ?

Get the entries in... show NE they HAVE to listen to you.....

don't whinge about it guys, you are the ones causing some of the issues.

Yes, you are indeed wrong - hence why a load of people never turned up.

We had one grid of 44, that was it.

Not all of us can afford to stick all of our entries in at once. I'm one of the late ones as I have to wait for pay day before I can send off the next lot of forms. If that's causing problems there's really sod all I can do about it, unless somebody wants to pay for my entries ;)

Chicken and egg mate...
NE can't justify splitting the classes unless we get more entries in, and we won't put the entries in until the classes are split. Stalemate!


Don't agree. There's a deadline for entries, so long as we meet the deadline then it's not late - the timetable is made by NE after such deadline.


Nope, I'm sure we wouldn't. We turned up with numbers far in excess of some other classes who did get their own grid. Our numbers proved irrelevant.


Sometimes, yes.

absofookinglutely.....................

Fil, as it would appear that you have just volunteered to pay Grib's entries, can you pay mine too please?

I always said Phil was a generous, giving kind of guy :) ;)

lol u bastids....i aint entered yet as i cant afford my own.................

waiting for the payment of some tyre warmers i have sold.................

and NO it wont stretch to your entry Paul or Gribs......


Phil

Miserable ****** *grumble*



:p

EDIT; oh my god, you can't say b u g g e r! Since when is that swearing!? :eek:

Same as ****

...that's c r a p :eek:

spot on Lucie, and while New Era continue to cash in post dated cheques (despite promises to the contrary) this can cause a problem.
Both our riders put their entries in the post 7 days before closing date, which I dont see a problem - after all it is a closing date, and its not mandatory to post them all off in March:)

Even with 3 more meetings after Oulton, this can work out quite a pricey hole in your account if the money is all taken now:o

i was under the impression that the two non-points races were a printing error left over from when we were debating the two short / one long race question.

With age comes wisdom....

Ian you are correct, and it didn't take 6 pages of commentary to figure that out!

Keep it simple...

Can we race yet?

No :frog:

stop being sensible and go back to the dialysis machine............hehehe

:lol: :lol: :lol:
