| All,
Just been reading through all the ideas and suggestions, and thought I would put my bit forward. A lot of talk is about rider moving on as well as attracting riders.
As I have said before, both myself and Andy came from Classic racing, which is very competitive but also very expensive. 35k for a Manx Norton, and then you can do 58 sec laps of Mallory if you fancy it!!!! It is a slightly different style of riding to modern bikes, but great fun and I still do it to annoy my bank manager.
The point thou, we both came to the series to enjoy close competitive racing but within a reasonable budget. We were not allowed to join Class B as we both have National Licenses, and have both won club championships, so Class A was the only option.
To race against 1 or 20 people in my opinion is immaterial, so long as you are having a close race and enjoying it, which I think those of us in Class A do.
I already have classic bikes which cost way in excess of what the 620 cost me, but the beauty is that they have all increased in price since buying them, that does'nt happen with modern stuff, so I wouldn’t want to have to buy another one.
Anyway there is my little ramble, leave as is for us in Class A, or if there was to be any change it would need to be where those of us with class A bikes could cheaply modify the bikes to be competitive against something else.
A complete change is not an option for me.
