Look at it another way.

Less track time, means less wear and tear on the bike, less fuel, less tyre wear, thats gonna save you all a loads of £££, :P

Where there's lots of classes being run at a meeting then you will always get reduced tracktime and that is bound to be worse if you have the superbikes - they quite reasonably get the the biggest slice of cake.

Would normally agree, but we're talking about 14 races over two days, as opposed to NE's usual 16-18 races per day. I know probike are top billing, but screwing your regulars for a one-day spectacular is pretty poor business sense. Hopefully grid sizes will be big enough next year for us to go to all the clubs and renegotiate.

I think I did actually :(

Typical innit.

However, I now think that Qualifying is a much fairer way to do it :P

:D

I don't. Option 1 seamed fairer, if you don't get a place then you can save the fee and weekend away...

Option 2 - Imagine turning up, having a bit of a mare qualifying and ending up with an early bath, no races and an entry fee down the loo.

Rant over and out.

Yeah, but the easy answer is to just ride faster :o

:lol:











I'm kidding - it's all wrong-diddly-wrong-wrong!!!

Of course we could all just keep up this negativity and doom mongering and put even more people off coming to join the series.:mad:

LoL! At this rate any newcomers will be put right off by all the talk of lack of track time and prohibitive costs per race. Come on guys, lets see what the RC and riders reps can do for us eh!?!

Anyway, the 620's can afford to sit this one out and let us stunt riders have a play :lol:
