You going 583 then Andy? [/quote]

I don't know...I'm utterly confused! Us 674 boys are in the most difficult predicament whereby we can't stay as we are and get thrashed by the swelling numbers of 620s, so we have to so something;

1) Spend lots of dosh re-converting to 583 and simply slide down the grid!

2) Spend even more dosh and do lots and lots of head-work, change carbs etc etc, and gain, potentially nothing...to slide further down the grid!

3) Spend EVEN more dosh and lever in a 620 engine to encounter loads of technical glitches and totally predictable "unforseen problems" getting the thing to go, and start competing with the axe murderers at the sharp-end....eeeek...no thanks!

It really depends on whether there are TWO separate grids. I kind of gather that a number of people feel the same...in that they'll only run a 583 if it is on a separate grid and I would therefore be in a position to be far enough forward to actually see the starting lights go out!

Ehem...on that note Dom I've just seen a lovelly DVD of the start of race 2 produced by a chum....Hummmm...Very lucky not to get a 10-seconder there mate! I'm amazed I didn't see you streak past as I sat there pulling in my clutch and snicking it into first
