Current rules mean You don't Have to Have a Generator, Tyre warmers, wets, spare wheels, spare discs, paddock stands, wheel changing tools etc

In fact you could ride your bike to the circuit and race it, Which both Earl and Jed Attack have done in the past.

Intoduce warmers and wets and the above list more or less becomes a necessity, even a van or box trailer becomes a good idea.

Don't get me wrong, I spent 8 years racing in classes using Wets and warmers before DD got off the ground and think its a exspense that DD doesn't need. More so class B than class A especially as Class B attracts regular newcomers to racing with part of the appeal being the costs involved.

And as long as mixed grids are used it would be unwise to run the two classes on different tyre setups.

I'm suprised DD has lasted this long if its in dire need of differnt tyres along with wets and warmers, especially with the choices of other classes out there. Let alone attract riders like Cobby and Geoff Spencer among others
