I wasn't impressed at the meeting from what I could make out a small group of DSC members including one from the management team wanted to get existing DD riders to support a breakaway series and not the DSC series.
To try and drum up support they made several statements that were not backed up by facts.
one minute we were told that one of them had been approached by JP of New Era about running an alternative series and the next minute we were told JP didn't want to get involved in club politics. So if he doesn't want to get involved in club politics why is he bothering to seek out somebody to talk about an alternative series and apparently he managed to seek out just the right people who would be interested or maybe it was the other way round somebody interested in running a alternative series approached him.
Will I be doing DD next year
Well that will depend, certain situations this year need to be resolved first, as does size of and number of grids.
I am more than happy to go back to doing what I was doing before DD was formed and will be staying a DSC member as there is far more to the club than DD and some of the politics that goes on.
For £25 I joined a club that has offered me a great deal over the years. One thing is for certain I'm not interested in joining a breakaway series as I believe in the reasons why DD was started.
To allow the membership of the DSC to make the step-up from trackdays to racing in the same friendly emviroment that they experienced at the DSC trackdays.
And for many this is exactly what DD has done and I'm sure some of them are greatful to the MT for allowing them to do so. |
The MT has not allowed them, THE CLUB HAS.
