As a supplier, New Era should be comforted knowing that there are actually a core of DD riders who have demonstrated an intent to race, not just sitting on the fence waiting for the best thing to come along...etc...
That's my view, I'm happy with the process, it's worked for the last two years?! |
Yes, The question was does the club have to commit to any financial costs to get DD agreed with New Era for the next season. I've got no problem with it if it does and the current system with riders committing with a deposit seems perfectly reasonable to me.
The question was asked as I felt that if there are fees the club commits to relying upon racers to support it then its also reasonable that all DSC members should be made aware of it like they are with trackdays and it might then help racers understand why deposits are needed early and why refunds might not be possible.
Paul has partly answered it but not confirmed that there are no financial implications.
Please note this isn't a dig at DD or the MT, I'm fully aware that its a well supported part of this club, its simply trying to get an understanding of what the implications are.
