OK, before anyone starts crying or thinking that I'm on a wind up, I'm not!
Here are some of my thoughts to how DD could be better in 2007.
I've not emailed the RC with this, as I think the other riders need to have a look and make suggestions too - I'm sure there are better ideas than mine!
I know that the RC are looking to have a discussion about 2007, so lets have a think about how we can improve things.
My suggessions (so far)...
- Rules Unchanged - This needs to be confirmed now.
- NO 695's - Unless Ducati are giving them away?
- 6 UK rounds - ALL points count (12 races).
- 1 Assen round - non-championship round.
- No 'long' race - Keep it simple, 6 rounds, 12 races. Long races are too risky (and boring at Snett).
- ALL points to count - This will encourage people to turn up and reward those that do. Dropping races leads to smaller grids and punishes those that do all races.
- 1 person to run the series - Elected by the riders. This needs to be a full time position, like Membership Secretary or Treasurer. DD needs someones full attention. No Committees or rider reps, it's too complicated.
- Trophies - If the club(s) we race with offer trophies - accept them!
