It's a 750 and you know it, so stop rubbing it in...

I made it 24 Class B bikes at Cadwell and 16 class A which looks like it will be the type of figures for the rest of the season
so what we need for seperate grids is more class A bikes or drop them and just have 583s with a novice championship contained within it and settle for one grid

Lets face it we have heard DDs go on about how much we contribute to New Era's income but when it comes down to it Class B contributes more (up to 50% more) and still get the worse end of the deal.
Phil who more often than not wins class B gets very few chances to cross the line first and get the deserved recognition for his win, many a Class B bike is baulked off a mass start by the more powerful 620s that win the drag race to the first corner, and then have to start taking chances in corners to pass people they out qualified.

I have again entered both classes at Donington (yes the entry has been sent) in an attempt to bolster the numbers in Class A to try and help get seperate grids, but based on Oulton I have included a letter asking if its not possible for me to race in two seperate DD classes then just enter me in Class B and also in SV 650s if there is room.

You're dead right Kev.

I vote we drop Class A

Kev is right.......

Class B grid contributes more bikes to the grid than the Class A.....

therefore surely Class B should get precedence.!!....as kev rightly said the class B riders suffer more so on a combined grid than the class A riders....

its about time Class B was the focus ..this is where the numbers are.!

well said kev.

The 583 riders should be grateful that we allow them on the same grid as the 620s!!! - I dunno, ideas above their station.

Some of them even have the gaul to upset some of the 620s by getting in their way - damned cheek of it.

You know when you get a really annoying fly buzzing around you that makes a lot of noise and just gets on your nerves, and you wonder why are they there? That's 583s that is!!!

How about a promotion/relegation system?

The top 5 Class B riders get to swap their bikes with the bottom 5 Class A riders?

Incentives all round then.......
