hypothetical dear boy....

Kev, I don't thinks its as big an issue as you make out.

I'm not riding at Cadwell, so you've already gained one position.

And what's to say you don't beat Hawk and T5mission anyway?

Tetol is in front of you in the championship and he isn't riding.

I'm next in line and I'm not riding.

AntonyE is fighting his way to the back :lol:

Dave Reilly isn't riding.

If you finish 16th twice, you could jump 4 places.

...and what's to say there could be a few crashes or mechanicals (hope not) but you know what I mean.

Your whole arguement won't mean anything if you're caught by the hair police anyway :lol:

Chin up mate ;)

:lol::lol: you really are value for money Dom:lol:

luv yoo!:devil:

Skids - Andy wont be there either, so thats another place gorn:)

Why is it that...

When I race - so does EVERYONE else!

When I decide to do minitwins - I should have done SoT.

When I don't ride at Cadwell - neither does anyone else!

When Skids does minitwins - he gets a trophy - and I do SoT :lol:

If anyone wants me to pick 6 wrong numbers for the lottery, emails to the usual address...

Strange that as the post wasn't all about me, but as youpoint out there will be less people there to finish in front of me they will also not be finishing in front of anybody else either so that is not going to really affect my position in the championship differently to those that are around me.
What it could have done is allow those that would normally finish 26th to 29th with out any points gain some valuable points, but if riders are coming in to replace some of them then it could be that riders who quallified for and took part in the whole of the 2005 series may still have to go without some extra points to add to there tally.

Come september next year with the way things are going we will probably have 2007 entrants taking part in the last 2 rounds of the championship, thats 4 races and a fair few points.

And Dom when I lined up for the Mini-Twins final at Pembrey I wasn't expecting you to be just one row ahead of me on the grid, if you could pick me 43 wrong lottery numbers that would be handy.

Thank you. At least I'll finish above you at the end of the season and that's the main thing ;)

I need to borrow your excuse book to help out with my results though...

skids - you got the trophy dude, thats all that counts!! :burn:

So much BS spoken on here particularly DD...ignore it and carry on as you are! :cool:

Nun needed from you it's so obvious from track side what’s happening to you.

All you need is a bike that actually speeds up coming out of the corners, and the job’s a good’en.

:lol:

Phew...I've just finished trawling through this lot...although I did need to start "skip-reading" towards the end so that I could finish by tea-time!!!!

I'm utterly fascinated by all the scrutiny and intreague that the series undergoes between races from both the riders and public. Thanks Skids for working out who I need to beat and by how much...I didn't know you cared :lol:.

This whole thread reminds me of the argument that reared its head in World Supers in the late 90s when some of the Wildcards (especially in Japan, where the top five places were all taken by little locals) started taking all the "spoils" from the regulars...and Colin Edwards' response was a very sportsman-like "Well....we'll just have to RIDE HARDER"

Well...I'm going to say the same (and NOT in an attempt to influence the "sportsman of the year" award...no, no!). Seriously...I couldn't care less if "wildcards" started taking our thunder! I know we bang on about the "true spirit" of the race series...and my own take on this means that we really shouldn't start getting too upset about a place-or-two.

I do question why I take part in the series half the time (and the missus is determined to put a stop to it next year anyway!!!!!!), and then race-day commeth round and it all makes sense as I crest Paddock Hill Bend with an enormous smile on my face....but I don't actually care too much where I finish in the Championship, as long as I've given it my best....oh...AND BEATEN RATTLER :mad:
