And that helps how? It's six of one half a dozen of the other, and you're just suiting that to you? I'd rarther 2 at Donnigton like we are meant to have

If it's money again, why don't the RT play the card of we'll cancel ALL our entries if we don't get 2 races... then see how quickly Jim will get us two races??

After all fil's comments I want 2 races, I prefered that anyway and also I don't want to hang around all day waiting for the last race like was pointed out

We're not assertive enough with New Era and like many have said, we shouldn't be doing ****ing packed Superclub rounds in the first place, why do you think so many people are leaving DD?

Hmmm ... just a thought ... but the blurb says something like 'because of all the red flags'.
How many dd races have been red flagged ?
Hmm.
Races which dont get red flagged are obviously better _value_ for NE arnt they

From memory, just one has been red flagged - cadwell last october.

Not sure NE's value is reflected in the number of red flags... they've already got our money.

Seeing this from a marshals pov, I think the delays are mostly caused by the increasing eagerness to throw a red flag for incidents that didn't used to warrant one. Is this just h&s bollux invading club racing? Solution - penalise riders for disobeying yellow flags! The times I've marshalled I've witnessed plenty of yellow crimes, but not once do I know it was penalised. If riders were more considerate of a yellow, then the reds would be far less necessary.

We can sit and talk about it here or could we actually do something about it?

RC?????

I don't know whether to send my entry off or not now, I've booked a trackday there as practice, but £130 would get me a good trackday at Cadwell and a night out on the **** too

Is anyone from the RC gonna comment, does anyone know whats going on. As i read it Donington's gonna be 12 laps, if it's not red flagged before we finish. This is not what i signed up for £130 a lotta money for 12 laps plus what ever we manage to do in qualifing (thinking of Oulton). I'm in two minds wether to send my entry off at the moment.
