At this time I dont know about the viability of the suggestion, but will raise it when I next talk to John and advise back.
With the greatest of respect for people who are looking at other classes of racing rather than Desmo Due; I feel it necessary to point out that the DSC has created the Desmo Due series as a mean to enable members to compete at a level above track days without the need to commit to 12 or more meetings a year, on a Ducati.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but as I posted earlier, we are running this series for the benefit of Club members who have actually or intend to enter. Quite frankly results from other series have no bearing on the DSC's activity.
There is a lot for people to do in the next 4 months, before the 1st race at Cadwell. Quite frankly they dont need the distraction of suggestions that have no bearing on their series.

Not sure what you are trying to say. Racing is racing no matter what you ride. Cheap racing does not exist. Entry fees and running costs are similar no matter what level you are at. Unless you are gonna ban things like tyre warmers you will get some people using them and they will have the advantage. Unless you are gonna ban people from having new tyres each meeting you aren't going to stop that either. As it;'s racing you will get people doing both the above because in racing winning matters and some people will spend as required. Minitwins was meant to be another cheap series so perhaps you should ask the racers there what a season costs ?
No one is trying to put people off but we are being realistic and not hiding anything from someone who wants to race. Would you rather hear the truth now or in 12mths time when you add up the bills ?
If you want to race then surely you want to win, if all you're gonna do is make up numbers then why race ? Why not just do trackdays ?
Make no mistake racing is expensive, certainly more so than trackdays but it's worth every penny. On a t/day you have no idea if the guys around you are trying in racing you are under no illusions and that alone is worth the cost above t/days.
So get out there buy your bikes and enjoy yoursleves
