Race Teams 2006
 

I was thinking about Desmo Due for next season and thought I would run this by you guys (and Lin)
I think Alan & Charlotte did a great job this season with a great team effort but did not get recognition in the same way that the riders did (points) and this got me thinking about next year.
We as a family are also intending to run a bike in each class next year (our son Jed should be on a 600 Monster) and we plan to have the same bodywork, colours and sponsors on each bike. (I am not riding the Multi next year I'm getting a Monster)
I think it would be good to have a points table for teams entered based on the points the individual riders scored even though it may not always be the same rider. If you had a guest rider on your bike, to score points they would have to fulfil the entry requirements for the class they were riding in. It should be easy enough to put a couple of extra columns onto MW's spreadsheet to keep people informed as to the team positions.
I think this could help to bring the two classes closer together and add another dimension to an already fantastic series.:sing:

Discuss :devil:

Desmo Due No 33

Dunno about points and stuff but we will be entering 3 riders under one team name ;)

Sounds a great idea Mike!

We didnt actually set out to do a 'team' this year - it just sort of 'evolved'. The different riders was not the aim of what we started with either - but we have had a lot of fun along the way.

We WILL be having 2 bikes next year tho - and this would be a great thing for us to aim at:D

Supporting the motion, from CK & AK:)

It sounds like a good idea to me :) Being a 'pit bitch' for the past few years, it'd be nice to get some kind of recognition that there are more people than just the riders putting an effort into things sometimes :cool:

superb idea ;)

A good idea in principal, not sure how it would work in reality;

- Teams could have riders in both series, or 2 in one, points would vary?
- how many teams would actually be entered to make it viable?
- What if teams had more than 2 riders (couch) what scores would count.
- etc, etc, etc....

Nice idea in principal, not sure it really would work......

We could all enter under one DSC team and we'd all win (or lose) ;)

I think it's a bit like all the other what if's. If enough people are interested then it can work. If the teams were to have two bikes one in each class it would produce a link between the two for anyone that was involved either as a team member (a lot goes on to get folks out onto the grid as most will know) or as a spectator. Anyone who does not feel the need to join or form a team need not be involved in this side of things and they would be able to carry on as we did this year. I just feel it would be nice to get more people involved in the whole event and to recognise them as part of the team that puts in the huge effort that goes into getting a bike/bikes onto the grid at all the meetings.

Excellent idea Mike
 

Lets just hope that Geoff and Fil2 don't get it together :devil:

Could be the highest point scoring rider in each team ?

And the point is:puzzled: Why not? It would provide the link between the two groups and add an extra dimension to the series without any extra expence.

It would involve a team entry which would be extra effort and may not be of interest to some riders unless they were in the team spirit.

I hear you, but how many teams would there realistically be - 3,4 or 5 ?

Not much of a competition really. If it got into double figures or over a dozen then maybe, but otherwise its not really viable - is it??

But as it has no effect on the rest of the results, but gives recognition to the folks and friends who somtimes struggle to get to meets:)what can be the harm:saint:

No probs - I've obviously completely missed the point of this thread - and points should be awarded to everybody just for turning up !!! ;)

Everyone wins, everyone is happy - excellent !!! :puzzled::puzzled::puzzled:

Sorry - I think I've drunk too much!!!!!:lol::lol:

Team mate Wanted, must be on a 620 and VERY VERY Fast.

I think its a good idea, just register as a two man team before the season begins.
next year I should have a bike running in each class with at least two different riders on my 620.
So thats my team sorted, although it could be known as Team Skidlids Racing, it will probably be run under my hardly ever used team name of
"TWO CENT RACING" , logos are sat on the home PC so I will try and attach later.

Has this come in through the back door? Did I miss something seems there are a few 'Teams' out there this year. Is anyone running a team points board? No harm.

Mike

not this year, but watch this space for next year ;)

your call there then Mikeypeeps:D

Ok, how many 'teams' have we got this year, come on lets have some names and I'll do the rest. you know how it goes cut and paste.
And a nice prize for the winning team, hows that?

Sorry but you can't have 3 bikes in a team, you need to select two before Mallory, I am doing the spreadsheet now so the sooner the better.

Pete Yates #9 Class A
Dom Clegg #4 Class B

That's not very fair is it?
Maybe you could just accept any size of team and then express the number of points per man... In that way a 2 riders team scoring 40 points is equal to a 3 riders one scoring 60 points... That would make sense to me.

Average the points out?

That's what I meant.
I wish I could have expressed it in 4 words though :lol:

Old Git Racing :eureka:
Phil Harris Class A #17 : 26 points
Phil Harris Class B #17 : 32 points
=======
58 points :biaggi:

We'll just drop me, I'm useless anyway!

:lol: :lol: fool! win it or bin it, I thought?;) Not quite useless - more like bad luck & wrong place wrong time young Timmy:)

Mike - for those with 3, why not do as DD did over the previous 2 years - drop a meeting from one of them? (the highest one? :devil: )

Team forming....

Where's Geoff's number....lol

I don't see wht we can do it with average ponts and let the 3 bike teams in.

Mike

Inspired ;) :lol:
