In the R6 cup it is also possible for the riders to drop their worse two results, be it DNF's of DNS's And that s a fairly high profile race series. As such I would find that perfectly acceptable. Thanfully I can report that I do not feel that any other DSC'ers treat me any differently to before due to my participation in Desmo Due. I was actually racing a Ducati before I joined the DSC, after a couple of years of racing my 916 the extra costs led to a drop off in my entries and the overdraft to grow. DD as provided me with a affordable series on a relatively cheap bike which has allowed me to carry on enjoying my racing and with a greater level of support from specators than I had for most of my years of club racing, the noteable exceptions being the race meeting at Castle Combe where members of the Hants, Oxon & Berks and Glos regions turned up in numbers. Long may it continue and I hope others get a chance to appreciate what it has to offer those that want to race, no matter wher its held. Me i'll even race on airfield circuits if it means I'm getting to race. All paid for out of my own pocket with ne rewards expected other than huge dollops of enjoyment. Kev |
