and a a timed practice) that lost 2 entrants to class B
Brands there were 24 entered in Class B, Stuart Smith didn't make it due to an emergency the day before and I know for a fact a couple more didn't enter because of the cost of entering Assen
speaking of which
where the hell does Assen figure into what is meant to be cheap championship club racing
Oulton as I said there was 24 and if Griff had been fit he would have been there
Phil Harris is currently in 32nd place in the Class B championship so if my maths is right I make that 32 riders having taken part in Class B races so far this year, so does that quallify as 30+ riders |
Lot's of if's and but's.
FOUR of those 32 points scorers have only done one meeting!! So that's 28 'regulars' and one of them only did 2 meetings!
You haven't had 25 on a grid Kev. Admit it!

You're correct, you can make suggestions. You can even have an opinion on things, of course you can. However, you said "As rep for the 583 class I have to consider what best serves the class they race in." which is not the case is it. It's not up to you to make any decisions on what happens with the class. It's your job to liase with the class riders and then put forward the class opinion to the race committee - and that may not me your personal opinion.

| As for people leaving Class B to race in class A, well the rules say the top 3 finishers in the Class B championship have to move up to class A, or race as non point scorers the following year in class B, so those hoping to finish in the top 3 are getting ready in advance. |
I see that as the
most seasoned racer in DesmoDue,
you find yourself in 4th place. Will you be staying in the 'novice' class for a third season Kev, or are you ready to move up and give the novices a chance?

| Now I don't recall me mentioning National Licence holders but as you have, then it should be pointed out that some DDers already quallify for a National Licence and by the end of next season so could a fair few more. |
That doesn't mean a thing though.
Thousands of racers are eligible for national licences - even you!! So what are you doing in Class B?
It's up to the rider to apply for a national licence, but for most people there is no need, so they keep a clubman licence (or whatever it is).
