Always bearing in mind that Class B as it is now will soon die off if we don't attract New Novice racers to it each year. And the constantly rising costs don't help. Higher fuel costs, higher tyre prices, Higher entry fees from extra race and extra rounds, soon a £4k season becomes a £5 season and new racers start looking elsewhere

As far as I'm concerned DD isn't broken so why mess with it more than you have to.

I totally agree- why d'you need prize money- my first pot at about £7.5k seems well worth it and got there on ONLY 5 tyres from when i joined 2 seasons ago (and 2 of them are still good for next season)- nice and simple with closely matched cheap bikes makes good racing that even i can almost afford-

stick to yr guns kev- it's a philosophy that works- can't see class b dying anytime soon and it looks really promising for next year judging by the end of this season with a good core of guys with great attitude-

can't wait for next season and wouldn't change anything apart from maybe being sponsored!!

100% in agreement with Miles there. If we were in it for the money we wouldn't be thrashing sub £2000, 15yr old bikes would we?

It's Class B or nothing for me, even an extra round next year could be a budget buster.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The whole concept of DD works for me on and off the track. The DSC committee make good educated decisions and don't seem overse to sensible ideas and requested as long as they go through the committee at the correct time.
I for one am happy with it.

maybe we should have a special letterbox for complaints and new suggestions,, I'm sure you could rig something up that would randomly electrocute every third one.

I totally support what Miles said....
I know I have only been here for one season, and I have little to compare against in terms of bike racing. But to me the management of DD racing is outstanding and I really could not agree more with the other posts...it really is not broke, in fact quite the opposite.
Having been involved in other sports and I do know that what the whole DD organisation does can seem like a very thankless task, but still they carry on working really hard to provide us with a fantastic series. I also know how much it means to be supported and appreciated, so to all the DD organisers...
THANK YOU!

Can't wait for next season already!

I'm guessing we won't have a tyre deal and tyres in place before January so I'd better just get another set of Dunlops for Cartegena at the end of Jan.
