- - Can you do the DD double - 583/620? (/showthread.php?t=22008)

whos to say someone from the 620 class, would necessarily push any of the 583 entrants down the grid? i'm pretty sure i wouldnt.

and anyway, whats everyone looking for? a nice easy series where you can pick up silverware or something thats represents a challenge. i'm not bothered about the fact that there are so many good riders in the 620 class. i'll go out and try to do my best against whatever opposition is out there.

i prefered the "i could go into a long discussion" one. :D

blimey phil :o

give us a chance to reply, no sooner i read it, than read it again then it disappears. oh well i'll just see you on the grid i guess. ;)

That way you only need 1 bike, and you won't upset anyone in the 'other' DD class.

Sometimes biting off more than you can chew can lead to doing half a season in 2 classes, rather than a full season in one.

I don't mind what anyone does, I know that when I get my form back and I'm on equal machinery, I'm as fast as anyone. I just think this could be detremental to the series in the long run.

You must appreciate that your decision to do both classes is likely to impact on the small budget, slower riders, who instead of going up the results, are likely to suffer due to people with deep pockets buying up grid space in every class - just because they can.

You spend every spare penny you have getting to the grid with a 583, it's a real struggle, but you know that now the grid is split, you may have a chance of getting that top 10 spot - Only to discover that 10 guys from the 620 class have come in (more than likely for practice) and now you're back in 20th spot again. Before you know it, there will be 20 guys doing both championships and not much else.

One rider, one bike, one series.

Extra races/practice can be had in Sound of Thunder - where you're not gunna impact on anyones season.

LOL..oh dickie mayhap you cast your rod elsewhere..!.......

I chose to delete becuase its futile..................reistance is futile.................... :borg:

i dont want to race in 583 now...........everyone ganging up on me :(

i'm just gonna stay in 620 and get my arse wupped there instead. :D

If you want extra races you can enter the sv 650 class, they never get any sv650s in it so it would be just like another dd race. I think that the 583 class should be for novices only.

Not in the rules yet, but I am thinking of something like:

In the event of a grid being oversubscribed, preferance on entries will be given to riders only entering one Class

I was about to agree, when I thought of Skids.........this year's top 583 protagonist and budget racer supreme......

Hmmm, there's always one!

That would certainly effect me after running a 583 all this year, but I am aware it could be a option and I would happily campaign a 675 with a bit of head work as kits will soon be getting sold 2nd hand, but if there is no provision for a bit of porting etc running a 675 against 620's would be pointless just as I realised it would be this year.

I could campaign a 620ie but I want to stick with my 600SS chassis so fitting a 620 engine in the chassis that would be exspensive way to do it and then I would probably find I was entering more NG Minitwins races as entries for Pembrey are £70 for 2 races a day and NG usually have 3 two day meets there in a season.

Also part way through the 2006 season alot of this years participants will cease to be novices, as with other novice classes they would be allowed to continue in the class to the end of the season but what would happen the following year. If there were only a handful of novices would the class be dropped to make way for more 620's or would the 583 class be opened up to non novices as well.

Lots of cans of worms to be opend here and I don't envy Chris, Monty, Mike etc having to come up with rules that suit everybody.
