45 mins track time = £2.66 a minute..!

[CK]

and at Assen:

£80 entry = £1.45 per min of tracktime (1 x 15 min race & 2 x 20 mins qual)

bit of fuel needed to get there tho

No untimed practice on an new circuit with 15 mins to qualify and potentially no race if can't be quick first time out seems unreasonable,
not sure this is what i signed up for !!!!

Not sure anyone of us did! I thought it was all supposed to be sorted after Cadwell?
Shudda gone to Pembrey!

I'm on strike. I won't eat anyting until we get an untimed practice.

In the worse case, I'll be much lighter on the bike...

ask the rider reps to request an untimed? - in view that the tracktime has been cut - and they are no longer prepared to let you have the 2 grids?

Can't say up until recieving the regs that we were gauranteed any untimed practice and as it hasn't appeared on the enetry regs, it may have been under consideration by NE at one point but thats all.
Most race meetings at club level consist of one practice and two races these days, untimed Practice is a bonus and would be nice and there is no harm in asking but the other club classes are in the same boat as us and if they do it for us they may have to do it for them and this would only happen if the timetable can accomidate it.
Got to remember the Superbike races and sidecar races take up one heck of a lot of time, They spend ages on the grid before each race with the Solos up on stands with warmers on, people doing interviews etc

As for two grids we stand to get them when we put 25 out on each grid, something we have failed to do so far so who can we blame for that.


Yes I think the situation stinks and is not what DD is meant to be about, its starting to get the feel of every other race series and as I am use to this sort of thing I have paid my money and sent my entry in

[domski]

I say...

"Spread the love..."

We need to speak to other clubs and maybe run at 3-4 different ones.

New Era are VERY GOOD at destroying good things!!

I'm sure they've been very helpful in getting DD off the ground - and taking our money, but when people start dropping out of DD, who is gunna take us seriously then?

NE will cripple DD - Fact!

[twpd]

How does what DD get from NE compare to other classes and other clubs? That is the yardstick. Where there's lots of classes being run at a meeting then you will always get reduced tracktime and that is bound to be worse if you have the superbikes - they quite reasonably get the the biggest slice of cake.

Other clubs make promises too.............But most keep them....
