Doing both classes on a 583???
 
So anyone with a 583 can race in Class A & B, but the 620 riders can only race in Class A?

Is that fair?

I think that if you ride a 583 you race in Class B, and if you ride a 620 you race in Class A.

None of this doing both classes crap.

If you want more tracktime, then enter Sound of Thunder.

Your thoughts?

tetol 10-Jan-2006 17:38

you must be riding 620 then dom

Rattler 10-Jan-2006 17:41

If someone wants to ride a 583 in 620 (and race in the 583) - good luck to 'em.

As long as they don't stop 620 riders getting a spot and it keeps the race entry funds in the DD, seems fine to me.

dickieducati 10-Jan-2006 17:46

thought the rules had been changed due to sufficient numbers on the grid so that you can only enter either one or the other now.

Chris Wood 10-Jan-2006 17:49

That was my understanding Tim,

In order to leverage volume with the organising clubs and promote the fact we could have two strong grids at each race, i would rather see 583 boys entering dd 620 that SOT.

Happy to put it to the vote of 620 riders and the 75% majority rule could apply either way.

I guess those that would give it a go on 620's would, a: be competent enough to not ruin anyones race and/or b: just out for some track time and not mess with the GP gods at the sharp end? IMHO

whats the difference between a 583 entering 620 class or Sot class for extra tracktime..we are all entitled to enter 2 races...620 can go SoT if they wish.?

Chris Wood 10-Jan-2006 17:53

There some meat on this bone.....

couchcommando 10-Jan-2006 17:55

No worries with 583's in 620 with me :)

be interesting to see how many of the moaners who wanted a 583 class last year enter the 620 as well this year

dickieducati 10-Jan-2006 18:05

we have - with a 620:puzzled: :lol:

we also have a std 583 in the 583 class

shouldnt you have said ; entered the 583 class Paul?:puzzled:

C:)

domski 10-Jan-2006 18:07

Look, there isn't a single person on a 583 that will beat me on my 'new' 620.

This is purely in the interests of fairness.

Is it fair that some 583's will take points away from slower 620 riders?

All of us are paying good money to be there, in their own class.

If you 'just want extra track time', then go in SoT instead and affect NOBODY.

We can all do Sound of Thunder.

We can't all do 583, and we can't all do/afford 620.

I don't think anyone who is doign 620's should be allowed to buy a 583 and do that 'for extra track time' or indeed to try to win the championship.

If you can buy 2 bikes, you have an unfair advantage on others too.

If you want to race 583 - then race in 583.

If you want to race 620 - then race in 620.

If you want extra tracktime - then race in SOT.

I have answered Dom's question off line

AK 10-Jan-2006 18:12

Dom, Chris DID confirm this back in Dec, that as they had enough entries now in each class, that they would be kept separate.
I did a search for the post, but it - and the thread it was in have vanished. I do have a copy of it on a word doc tho - as is often the case, I copy & paste over for AK to read later in his lunch hour etc, as we didnt have a printer at home till 2 weeks ago.

That's not what Chris just emailed me :lol:

Sort of, but not quite.

It all depends on the number of 620's on 1st March.

AK 10-Jan-2006 18:18

well why does it all have to be so secret then?:puzzled::puzzled:

Tonio600 10-Jan-2006 18:19

Dom, are you already writing the first pages of your 2006 book? :lol:

To finish first, first you must finish ;)

domski 10-Jan-2006 19:24

OK, with the exception of me falling off - there is nobody gunna whoop my butt on a 583 motorsickle!

weeksy2 10-Jan-2006 19:35

can you see over the tank with your head that far up your own arse ?

:sing:

domski 10-Jan-2006 19:37

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwnnnnn!!!!!

weeksy2 10-Jan-2006 19:42

well come on Dom... it is a bit of an insane comment to make.

Lets assume your tyre goes flat, or a footpeg breaks, or your fluid boils or any of another 4000 things that can go wrong...

It's a poor comment and a bit of an insult really to the other riders.

domski 10-Jan-2006 19:57

You know what Steve, you're absolutely right.

I'm against 583 riders competing in the 620 class, coz I'm scared that they'll beat me.

I've been rumbled.

weeksy2 10-Jan-2006 19:59

that wasn't my point and you know it...

*wanders off shaking head.

domski 10-Jan-2006 20:02

Dude, you knew what I meant in my post.

OBVIOUSLY, I wasn't allowing for me having a puncture or exploding boots or whatever.

All things being equal and nothing going wrong - a 583 won't beat me on a 620 this season, and therefore, I did not start this thread for fear of losing to a 583.

bradders 10-Jan-2006 20:08

would be interesting to see Fil out in 620 on a 583 and if you beat him Dom...

Tonio600 10-Jan-2006 20:13

I think we should bookmark that topic, to find it more easily at the end of 2006 :lol:

only joking mate :P (but I've bookmarked it anyway :lol: )

DaveB916 10-Jan-2006 20:13

Have I missed the plot here?

The argument appears to be you cannot run a less 'powered machine' in a 'higher powered' class becuase you would get more track time?

Is someone now to monitor all trackdays to ensure no rider gets more hours than anyone else, and what is the allocated amount of tracktime allowed? Does this also include European tracktime?

I think my brain is going to hurt trying to straighten this one out in my head !!!

better to copy & paste it into word doc, periodically updating it mate - cos some threads disappear.............;)

I do!:saint:

domski 10-Jan-2006 20:34

CK - A 583 never got near me when I was riding a 2005 620 - which is what I'm riding this season.

And that race you're talking about, I set the fastest lap for a 675, coming from dead last through the traffic and then broke my arm.

Has everyone forgotten the last race of the season too?

The first time I sat on a 620 with anything like 63bhp... Where was Phil then? Where were all the 675's and 583's?

3 seconds a lap behind that's where.

I tell you what, letting 583's in to 620 will not affect me coz I'll be up front somewhere.

The thing is, people think this is Domski just trying to wind everyone up, so you poke some fun in my direction - poke away fools.

I was sticking up for you slow people and what I believe is FAIRNESS - so when you get your arses kicked by Phil and anyone else on a 583, don't complain coz you missed out on points coz of the nasty men on 583's.

Tonio600 10-Jan-2006 20:40

if FFS means what I think it means, I think Dom's angry :lol:
