Not really mate, the riders were asked their opinion and what they'd like from the series, that's 6 - 7 classes of riders, from the 125, up to the powerbikes...

You're just 1 class (even though you'd like to be 2 )

DD have as much or as little say as any other class.... what makes me laugh is that you lot seem to think you should have more.

We don't think we should have more, but I think that if the other classes were asked (as you suggest), we should have also been asked / consulted on this. - why weren't we? A level playing field would be good.

That i honestly don't know the answer to Tim... i can only go on what i've been told, and that was that riders were asked what they'd like to change and this was the sort of thing they suggested. I'm only going on what mates have told me, nothing official from NE as i've never spoken to an NE official.

So you can see why DD riders a getting fraught over this, we are being dictated too without any prior knowledge or apparent consideration and then to be told (by yourself) that other riders have been consulted leaves a nasty taste.

Well, consider the possibility then, Jim Parker and NE officials wnadered round the Superclub paddock and asked some riders... or did it at sign on etc.... However the reason you guys were not asked....

You were not there.

As you're aware, you're not at all Superclub meets, therefore it seems you missed out. ?

Sounds to me like a very plausible situation.

What a complete and utter knob head you are Weeksy. If you are going to change something then do it democratically. Send out a proposal to all members by post. Not just ask a couple of riders at one meeting.

Did you actually read my post ???? i said "possibly"... not "this is what happend and is a FACT".

I'm basing my comments on what i've been told.

It wasn't me who did or didn't ask people in the paddock.

Look forward to your reply to the PM.

Tim

exactly and i still hope that this can be resolved swiftly early this week.
was hoping to have had an official email through by now from the rc but the only info we have had is from NE sending riders letter.

level playing fields are not available in 2006 it seems........shortened races (ne fault) mixed grids (our fault) changes to advertised races (NE fault)

if something seriously doesnt get sorted i wont be putting any bikes out on the grid next year
