Approximately 10 seconds per lap slower than the fastest lap by a 583 racer.

So 10 seconds if you reverse it, as opposed to over 20 seconds the other way.

The 583's would take twice as long to catch the 620's AND, the most important thing is, you can clearly see that the closing speeds are reduced by more than 50% which is quite obviously a LOT safer.

IMO

so if we are a combined grid a 10 second delay start for the 583's appears to be the best way forward.?......

Who agree's disagree's.........?

That's OK if you want to have your own grid - but more 583 riders will lose a lap (as you're giving the 620's a 10 second head start). Plus you're still gunna run in to the 620 pack just as you do now.

I don't think there is a good solution to combined grids.

how right you are ...................

Im actually going to stop weighting my arguments in favour of the 583's....im the only person it seems to concern.....................

Funny really when im in 620 next year ( hopefully ) where it wont trouble me in the slightest


can we go race yet....................

From a speccys point of view.

Have reversed grids, fastest at the back with red lids, cover the track in shale how about a round at Odsal??

How about bonus points for style, a backflip over the mountain at Cadwell gets ya 10 points, a stoppie into Redgate 5 points.

Not celebrating a win with a wheelie sees ya docked a place?

Sorry mate... we've got work to do here...

In the absence of separate grids, I recon starting all together in qualifying order like we do now is the best option.

There'll be the occassional pairing of 620/583 holding each other up at different parts of the track, a situation me and phil have found ourselves in a few times this year, but that ought to be less of a problem than those scenarios described above with the delayed start.

As for caps... don't get me started!!!

Yes, but using Oulton as an example the riders there are quite spread out. So it would really only impact a couple of riders.

For combined grids I think it's the most practical solution.

If practical, I'd like to see the gap a bit longer.

Using 20 seconds as an example:

The 583 riders will have approximately two laps before they hit the tail end of the 620's and this will give enough time to settle into some sort of order - of course there will still be battles etc I know. But this means that there will be more chance for the 583's to get 'established' before having to worry about carving through a field or slower riders.

I also don't think that 20 seconds is too much of an inconvenience for anyone.

Thoughts?
