What happens will depend on the number of entries at Oulton and Donington. IF we put more than 25 out in each class at the next two meetings we stand a chance of avoiding combined grids for the rest of the year. At tracks with bigger grids there could be another class on the same grid with a split start similar to what we had at Cadwell. Entries for the next two meetings ideally need to be in in advance of the closing date, entries after that date may not be accepted just like they did with the KTMs at Oulton a month or two back when they ended up with only 16 on the grid and sharing it with the CB500s. If the numbers are sufficient at the next two meetings then it would be worth trying to get New Era to run practice and a long race for each class on the Sunday, which I believe is what was originally envisaged. What they have offered on the current entry form is not really acceptable although when you look at the Desmo Due briefing note v2.05 you can see where the idea of the extra races at Snetterton came from as it states "To make up for the change in the 1st Cadwell race now being non-points scoring, we are looking at making Snetterton a 2 day meeting with three races (one long and two short) over that weekend. This obviously reduces everyone’s travel budget and makes up for the additional costs of going to Assen. " Well after the riders vote Cadwell became a points scoring meeting and Snetterton should have become a one day meeting with a long race for points Checkout the Desmo Due Paddock on Facebook |
