| Chris is correct that the dates for next year are all provisional and may change so being prepared for March 1st isn't a bad idea (although it seems a bit early in the year to me !) .... but just to explain a little more on the voting .... to date I understand that there was little response to Chris's last
invitation to revisit the question regarding making it a points scoring round, presumably because most people felt that commenting/voting the first time was enough!
New Era are aware that the intention behind putting it on as a
non-scoring round is to give those that want to (particularly the new entrants) a chance to race without making it 'compulsory'.
The idea was not to force novices or relatively inexperienced racers to race in the more than likely cold and wet conditions of Cadwell in March, on control tyres and in a limited seven meeting 'stepping stone' race series when starting in april was an equally viable option.
The New Era Cadwell event is going ahead with or without a full DD grid (or indeed any DD grid) so I would have thought that they would appreciate some entrants rather than none .... it's just that as it stands at the moment it will not be part of the championship although there are moves to try to make it a 'special' with some form of sponsorship to make it more appealing.
hope this helps to explain what's going on.  |
