I paid £10 to have the same number in both classes.

Saves loads of hassle.

Example:

Start the day with #23 for SoT

Then change to #74 for DD

Then change back to #23 for SoT

and back again to #74 for DD

..then if you're doing SoT next meeting, you'll have diff numbers again probably, and unless you're really careful the numbers will fall apart every time you remove them.

Although I think it's totally wrong to have to pay £10 to keep a number, it would probably work out cheaper over a season if you're buying numbers.

It's all a con :mad:

Well I hope what they've told me is true, not that I'll be able to do anything about it but I'll be very unhappy if it isn't. I'll only have numbers for number 12.

Hmmm - well i;ve just looked up numbers for last weekends SoT meet at Mallory with New Era.
The numbers featured in the race were :

49-131-168-6 ( thats me buggered)-143-169-155-56-106-38-135-66-129-78-150-139-153-152-119-133-82-90-166

The numbers were pretty similar for Brands too with the addition of 5 and 7

Gonna be luck of the draw i'd say.

anyone know if its a full grid for sot saturday ?

Dunno but i can't wait to see the DD's up against the big bikes on Woodlands. :o

Apparently not, at least it wasn't last week. And a large component of the grid are DD bikes.

best make a call in the morning then :D

Can't believe you re-use your numbers!! They only cost about 10p each fer christ sake.

If you're running in different classes and there is a number clash what New Era try to do is increment your number by 100, so for example you might be 42 in one class and 142 in the other - that way it is easy to change.

I guess you must all have your bikes built, track tested to set up gearing and base suspension settings and just waiting for the off - and that's why you've got time to worry about numbers!

Just found out that my bike is actually being painted before the first race. (although may not have an engine)

Louigi was able to go home just after 2am last night too.

Personally the number issue doesn't concern me. I'm good like that :lol:

Yep!

:frog:
