Combined Gird???
 

So where did the post go about the combined grid at Castle Combe:puzzled: I had just put up a reply and was then told I was not allowed to view this post and thrown out and now it's gone.

That must mean we get 4 races then.

Suits me :P

To ensure that you get 4 races, we will need to have at least 25 entered in each class.

You have been warned!

How about practice AND qualifying then Chris?

If we have a combined grid, will be racing across 2 days, or just one day?

I don't mind a combined grid, but I can see how the 583 boys may be a bit miffed.

there are at least 4 entrants with two bikes who intended to enter both classes at Castle coombe.?

I thought the time table was for seperate grids, 4 races over 2 days.

Combined Gird ????

Is this some sort of bizarre Wiltshire ritual...

"Today, down at Castle Coombe in darkest Wiltshire we're going to witness a combined girding of loins"

:P:P:P

That was prelimanary and subject to change

:borg:

It's changed all right :(

change is goooooooooooooooood............................... .....


:biaggi:

You on the beast then?

So where are you guys looking to find out this info ???

Fil2 spoke to Jim Parker.

We need to get 25 in each class to get our own grids.

That was the idea, bear in mind they can get 46 on the grid at CC !!!

But they've not got our entries in yet guys... surely we'll get at least 25 on each grid for such a high profile meeting?

Me thinks we'd best encourage people to enter.

Actually, I think quite a few 620 bods would be miffed if fil2 took his 583 out and trounced them :D

He doesn't need to take his 583 out.

He's got a beast in his garage now :o

:D

Thats what I was thinking - how can they know ? Won't they have to give us 2 slots if there are more than the stated 46 on the grid ?

Or will we be doing the qualifyer and leftovers again ? :puzzled:

JP was going on Brands entry figures.

I'v seen fil2's beast and a fine beast it is. :o

I'll enter Class A on my 583....

Just to make up the numbers:devil: of course!

now there is a plan....................... ;)

I would be happy to enter class A on my 583 if it helps to get seperate grids and no one objects re warm tyres blah,blah,blah,blah:)etc

I'll enter class b on my 620 just to make numbers up, if other 620 riders want to make numbers up we could start at the back of the grid ?

bugger off stick to your own class.

if im going to get shafted by all the 583's we may as well have 1 grid! :lol::lol::lol:

I dont agree with that one bit. :borg:

exactly....said in jest im sure but rings true..if some 620 riders are going to enter 583 on a 583 then we may as well battle them on a combined grid.

That's alright but if we don't have the numbers in our classes we'll all be on one grid anyway.
I guess if we don't have the numbers mixing grids would be our only option to get us 4 races, otherwise we will be put on a mixed grid of 2 races by NE.
It's up to us to get all who signed up for the series out there racing :)

Small point I know but no one can enter until we get the paper work from New Era can we:saint: I 'm sure we will make 25 on each grid at such a big meeting.

Mike

exactly...................as i understood it, we had at least 30 in each class registered at the start of the year...so 27 in each should be a figure the DD can achieve...!

Would all this talk of a combined grid put some people off from entering ?

I can see a difference between one or two 620 riders entering the B class and the full 620 squad :)

But actually I don't care, the more we are, the funnier it will be :lol:

Neither do I. 620 racers on 583 ok, but not on 620. Never liked the feeling of being a mobile chicane :lol:

well speed up then.

im going to be a mobile chicane for the likes of phil etc

I should be entering both classes at castle coombe. The 620 is getting there.
Glyn

Simple,

Class A does not meet the capacity rules for Class B.

As a club, surely we can run 583's as required to make up a full grid in Class A, only if required.

Not for points of course! If there are a number of class B runners willing to step up it's good for the DD series.

IMHO

can't be fast with slow people in front of me, I deffo need to learn how to overtake ;)

(how do you call that? mind games? :lol: )

If someone had a 583 I could ride I'd enter the 583 race to bolster the numbers.

I think I can afford that much ...

I started racing in the 583cc class this year I have met a lot of the riders and teams what a fantastic bunch
But as to the organisation of the racing what a shambles
Cadwell we are told before we even get there we are being mixed with other grids and we mite loose
Track time depending on the amount of crashes on the day talked to some other racers in the other classes
They didn’t get told this they got what they paid for.

Brands we are sent out for practice 600-620cc together not what we paid for again at least we got the
Racing in are own classes

Now cadwell we are getting told that we will get combined races oh if the numbers are to low £50 bet we end up
On the same grid

Maybe its time to take are hard earned money somewhere ells !!!!

If time permits I'd be happy to ride my 583 in class A (no points), at least Butch and MW would get a race then :P
