I don't see how setting the 583's off first would ever be a sensible option.

Can you imagine 15+ 620 riders carving through a field of novices on slow bikes?

You're clearly not well

I agree with you on the first bit.... however are there more novices per 20 in the 583 than there are in 620's ?

i thought on the whole the spread of 'novices' was fairly even... (ignoring peoiple who've upgraded to clubman this season, as of start of this season ?)

It doesn't matter mate, it's bloody dangerous!!!

That's the only reason you need to know.

You cannot have 620's coming through the whole 583 grid - it would be carnage.

Why are you being so stupid?

Where the **** did i say that ? i said you were right you lunatic....


i then asked how many novices were proportionally in each class.

Never once did i say or thing 583's should be first off...

You should read what's written instead of what you make up in your paranoid mind.

2 races within a race, different bikes and different riders. Even so, the field splits itself. Whether you are on a 583 or a 620, you qualify about where your ability dictates.

No, it probably isn't perfect, but I think it works.

Also, how many incidents have there been on the first few corners of any DD races? Probably not many. It would be far worse if the faster field started behind the slower field.

And another thing, fair play to those guys (and girls!) on 538s gridding in front of some of the 620s!

will to live lost............

split the grids if we can by getting a delayed start in with cb5's or hornets or what ever class is also low on numbers.....

Failing that..combined grid with a 10 second delay.......

Fastest class being 620 of first

...........Although it would be nice to how the 620 lads fair tring to get passed the faster 583's.......see how that affects the race results....hhehehe

PS

if u dont race in DD you dont have an opionion unless you voice it through a racer now Rack off........;-)

Agreed, I think that is the most pragmatic solution for all involved.

haveing raced on seperate and mixed grids i havent real had a problem with it yes i know im not running at the back and iv had a few 620 bikes get in my way when iv been chasing people down but im happy to race thats what im here for. i have a massive smile on my face at every round iv left so far i love it.

just looking at BSB you have two races with in a race you have BSB and privaters cup and rides get mixed up there okay not to the same extent we do but


Im real happy with this racing it doesnt cost the earth everyone helps eaxh other out. iv leant so much about racing, i know theres problem with a mixed grid but i think it work at the moment and i for one havent real had a masive problem with it.

lets get some more rides and then we can push new era again
