I know you are playing Devil's Advocate here Chris, but why SHOULD the season be paid for FULLY in advance? You dont pay your council tax fully in advance, or your weekly shopping for the year....the shop puts on a FULL display in the hope that you'll continue shopping....doesnt say you can ONLY go at certain times with X number of other people.....or only half stock the shop....and if trackday companies can make a decent living charging, in the main, far less than £150, to far fewer people than race at a NE meet.....why, when entries cost so much, does DD get such a raw deal from NE ? Look at their site, we dont even rate a mention in their list of classes that they run, despite all riders HAVING to be bona fide fully paid up members just the same as riders in any other class !!!! if its in the top 5 bones of contention each year, then its about time something was done about it ! if I REALLY thought that being on the RC would help, I'd willingly stand, but I'm not about to stand against those that have been duly elected for this year, but that doesnt mean I have to be happy with the way NE is allowed to run roughshod over DD as if they are doing us a favour ! Its OUR series, DSC.....we NEED to have a say in the way its run.....we are REQUIRED to be there at Donington for both days, to blow sunshine up NE's backsides.......so if they make such demands, where are the DSC's demands? Its a 2 way thing, or should be at least. |
