A very good idea I think in principle, as it would allow people like Chi to have had a go without having to lay out £3000 or whatever, to then find out it's not really for him.

Not sure about either of those ideas. I don't know if 700 DSC members would be happy to pay £5 extra so that 6 or 8 members could go racing???

Likewise, the racers paying £5 a meeting extra to fund someone else racing against them. I think it's expensive enough as it is.

However, if you charged £100 or so to rent a DSC race bike, then you have the people directly affected paying for the privelidge, and after 2 years, the bike would have paid for itself?

It costs £200-£300 to rent a R6 for the day, so £100 for DD is a bargain
