| But its hard to pass a 620 on a 583 that is running marginally slower than you as they get to the corner first, this means yor lap times drop to the same as theirs and you effectively wait for them to make a mistake, while the 620 you passed a lap a go manages to catch back up with you and blast past you on the straight.
As the slower class B runners have paid the same as everyone else to enter either a 6 or 8 lap race then that is what they should be entitled to get, but giving faster bikes a 15 to 20 second head start futher reduces the chance of this happening when compared to single grids.
If having split starts then ideally the 583s should be at the front of the grid as it will be easier for riders on 620s to pass those they catch up with.
As I said before if running combined grids the 620s a row or two behind the 583s still get to the first corner ahead as they win the drag race, not only do they have more power but the 6 speeders can effectively run a lower first gear for better acceleration off the line.
And when a rider on a 620 starts riding defensively to keep the 583 behind its a real pi55er
Its a shame we have lost so many riders from the series already this year as with the new entrants that have now joined or are joining the series we may have stood a chance of seperate grids.
