| If you want an extra race in order to progress quicker - do sound of thunder on your 620 or 583.
That way you only need 1 bike, and you won't upset anyone in the 'other' DD class.
Sometimes biting off more than you can chew can lead to doing half a season in 2 classes, rather than a full season in one.
I don't mind what anyone does, I know that when I get my form back and I'm on equal machinery, I'm as fast as anyone. I just think this could be detremental to the series in the long run.
You must appreciate that your decision to do both classes is likely to impact on the small budget, slower riders, who instead of going up the results, are likely to suffer due to people with deep pockets buying up grid space in every class - just because they can.
You spend every spare penny you have getting to the grid with a 583, it's a real struggle, but you know that now the grid is split, you may have a chance of getting that top 10 spot - Only to discover that 10 guys from the 620 class have come in (more than likely for practice) and now you're back in 20th spot again. Before you know it, there will be 20 guys doing both championships and not much else.
One rider, one bike, one series.
Extra races/practice can be had in Sound of Thunder - where you're not gunna impact on anyones season.
