All rounds / races to count - drop 2 or 3 race results.

Therefore, no one is forced to go to Assen, it's expensive regardless of how good it is, i'll be going anyway!!

You also get the opportunity to miss a round in the UK if circumstances force it.

It allows personal flexibility for what is a 'Novice' race series / summer holidays / school holidays / sickness / other events. etc...

If you want to race at every round all year, good for you, you have the advantage of knowing you can push hard all year knowing you can afford a bad day.

My example from this year;

Missed Brands - London Marathon - Nil pois, no cost

Missed Castle Coombe - Kidney Malfunction - Nil pois, £150 donation to NE.

Snetterton - tried to beat myself and others up twice. - Nil pois, £150 as above

Cadwell - bike won't start - Nil pois. £150 as above.


Anyway.....is it March yet?!

I would have to say that being able to drop a round would probably suit me, so that I could arrange other stuff to do elsewhere......and also because I swore I'd never race at Mallory.......

But in a rare moment of selflessness, I voted for the "all rounds to count except Assen" option, as I ultimately believe that keeping full grids will be a far more important aim than my loathing of the Leicestershire car park.

We'll see, I may have changed my mind when it comes time to vote on it properly.
