It does seem this year that its started to get far too serious at times, ok i know its racing, but if you realy want to pit yourself against fast racers (not saying there ar not any fast racers in DD for sure there is and they know who they are) there are other series you can enter, just to remind some people DD is supposed to be entry level racing, a step up from having fun with your m8s on a track day, i go out there to have fun and do my best maybe thats what helps keep the numbers up on the grid, especialy in class B anyway. i only have to look at lap times to know there is no way i will get in the top 3 but its fun to be out there, its fun to chat and laugh in the paddock and on the forum, a few of us have our own little races against each other....... Its fun, if i started to look at it as some people seem to then i would not bother entering.

Sunday race at Angelsey was no different for me than racing on Saturday, a race is a race and there was some bleeding good racing happening on Sunday if anything the fact that those of us who stayed for Sunday race knowing there was a good chance at a pot because so many had left Saturday night, more than likely pushed themselfs just that little bit harder there should be no cudos taken away from those guys they rode well and deserved their pots, had it been a points race i wonder how many would have stayed for the Sunday as well ?

I like the idea of a split grid start. if there was a way to implement it then why not, when i look at the race results i only look at the B as that is who i am racing against. A split grid would give some of the class B guys a chance to actulay start at the front of a grid and not have to try to push there way through class A bikes.

But what do i know, i just make up the numbers and enjoy myself.
