All rounds / races to count - drop 2 or 3 race results. Therefore, no one is forced to go to Assen, it's expensive regardless of how good it is, i'll be going anyway!! You also get the opportunity to miss a round in the UK if circumstances force it. It allows personal flexibility for what is a 'Novice' race series / summer holidays / school holidays / sickness / other events. etc... If you want to race at every round all year, good for you, you have the advantage of knowing you can push hard all year knowing you can afford a bad day. My example from this year; Missed Brands - London Marathon - Nil pois, no cost Missed Castle Coombe - Kidney Malfunction - Nil pois, £150 donation to NE. Snetterton - tried to beat myself and others up twice. - Nil pois, £150 as above Cadwell - bike won't start - Nil pois. £150 as above. Anyway.....is it March yet?! |
