WEEKEND 2/3 OCTOBER CADWELL PARK DAVE HOLLAND MEETING

Charlie you have been around racing long enough just like me to know that at this time of year most race calendars are provisional and subject to change, the likes of NGRRC are still listing there dates as provisional and for all I know may have had to make a few alterations to the one they initially published.
New Era's calendar looks as if its altering about every 2 weeks.
Firstly they had Silverstone listed, then they didn't and then they did. there Snetterton date has changed in the latest NE publication.

Due to the proximity of the Brands BSB date and the Silverstone date to the first Cadwell date that Cadwell meeting is not on the DD calendar as it would mean 3 race meetings over 4 weekends which is to much of a financial strain for many.
As with last season the plan is for only one Mallory meeting, last year there were 3 NE Championship meetings at Mallory of which we were absent from the first and last.
Loss of Angelsey is a disapointment to many in DD including those trying to organise things and is also going to be a disapointment to the majority of NE members, why NE have had to remove the date from their provisional calendar I have no idea, but I'm fairly certain they didn't want to.

Over last Season we are
Missing, Oulton, Donington, Angelsey and a Cadwell
and have
Gained Brands & Silverstone

At this time last year NE had no Oulton or Pembrey

Thanks Kev' the mist has started to lift (too much of Mr. Smirnoff's fire water this afetrnoon/evening....maybe;)

I'll hold fire until later in January and see what happens.

Typical northerner, chips wi' everything - including both shoulders.....

That's what makes the south so good - it's not the north. ;)

Better than jellied eels and flat beer! :lol:

Latest update from New Era

"2010 - A completely New Programme of Classes and Championships to be announced before Christmas.
Discussions ongoing regarding possibility of Television coverage of our championships"

And the preface to their current provisional calendar actually says

"It is a little early yet but we thought that Members would like some indication now about what we are intending to run next year"

and then go on to list the dates and venues

So New Era are still finalising things so hopefully their next announcement will give a clearer picture of race dates and venues

Did a New Era round at Mallory in March back in 2004, it was freezing over night, luckily I had my tyre warmers plugged in to the Paddock mains and strung across the inside of the van to try and take the chill off the air. The 916 was sat outside under a cover and drained of water which was later added after scrutineering.
Who said racing was fun :)

Similar to the 6 inch's of snow at the BSB brands round in april 2008 :)
