Current theory would indicate that, should we acheive a two grid status, there could well be a gap between the races to allow:

a) racers to watch their counterparts in the other series
b) racers with sufficient funds to partake in both series

Logisitcally you could expect double the majority of items, servicing, tyres, oils, fairings (for those who find the lure of gravity overwhelming), etc.

You would, of course, need to pay for both classes (£95+£50; 2005 fees) as well, and hope that you don't injure yourself in the first free practise of the first round thereby putting yourself out of racing for the season having re-mortgaged your house, sold your children, and spent untold nights around the back of kings cross earning the money to support your filthy habit.

Having considered this at length, I can conclude that the best option woudl be to participate in one series and share a bike in t'other. This would allow focus in the preferred series and experimentation in the 'shared' series, more track time, but not so much that you fall into a coma on crossing the line, more expense, but not so much that you can't turn down the last client of the night.....

Yours,

Ali
