I am thinking the same TBH. Maybe as it's non points scoring we can have tyre warmers on LOL

10/10 for being persistent:P

I can't see New Era being to pleased if there are only half a dozen on each of the two DD grids.

GOOD Point, Big picture time.

[couchcommando]

As the majority voted for non points scoring it should only be a minority few who don't want to race so grid numbers shouldn't be a worry

Race practice is race practice so I think we'll be doing it whatever the points

What’s this all about then?

I missed this, I thought it was a scoring round.

Who in their right mind would race for nothing at Caddwell in March?

I’ve got all me skiing gear out the loft now.

The last e-mail I got on this was that it was still not certain. I was away when the voting took place so did not vote. I do not think (18-2) 20 in total is very good percentage of the total number racing. I would vote if the race is on as far as New Era are concerned then the race is on and it should be for points. Remember you all have the choice to drop one of the rounds this year. I know that one is att Assen but for me that's probably less hassle to get to than Cadwell and we are at Cadwell twice. We should have some clarity from those on high.

i think all the dates are very much up in the air now anyway. so this may also affect the cadwell date/format. i think we just need to wait till end of jan for clarification

[AK]

I understand what you are saying Mike, & that the RC must clarify, but equally am puzzled that all the current 'numbers' racing at the end of 2005 were eligable to vote but only 20+ did for whatever reason (not everyone votes when things go out, so I understand).
When NE brought out the 'provisional' race programme for the 06 season, I know that the inclusion of the DD race in March was queried....as it had still been left in as a non-qual round.

Maybe we should wait for MW to comment?

Folks

You will need to be a little patient until late January with us, certainly until the next version of the calendar comes across from New Era. There is little or no point in trying to make a decision based on the current callendar that we have been advised is almost certainly going to be turned on its head.

The next version, due late January, should be close to what we will run with during the season.

You should all assume that you should have your machines ready for racing by the 1st of March 2006, we will not be starting prior to that in 2006!
