| Jools, I am not worried about the club becoming a two tier club as I don't think that will happen, what I am worried about is the series being taken over by outside bodies, namely race clubs.
Any race club can introduce a new class and set the rules including rules about who quallifies to enter, thats why this year I would like to see a ruling that stops riders that are not currently a DSC member from becoming so and then entering the series as we already have over 30 entrants far more than the minimum requirement. The problem will be retaining this level of entrants next year and the following year from within the DSC if we get to restrictive in the Clubs rules in who can and can not take part.
Maybe next years entrants should be restricted to Novice Race Licence holders, ie. those with less than 10 signatures on their licences, that will be out for a start but I have no problem with that I may just have to find a rider for my bike, also a cut off date for DSC membership as jobr suggests may be needed. Be interesting to see if the latest you could become a DSC member and enter next years series was the BMF show how many racers may turn up to join the club.
Still I know the MT share a lot of our concerns and are no doubt already considering differnt options for the way ahead.
And Jools if we find we meet up at another trackday post wedding then the offer still stands  |
