Agreed with all Nog.

Maybe quarterly payments to NE would work as a gtee of being on the grid.

Unfortunately they hold the cards as the promoter.

Think Bernie and Dorna, and WSB, Flammini? They set the rules. Who owns the show? Organisers or riders? You can't have on with out the other.

The rub has been that DD is a DSC series run by NE on our behalf, a certain complication. IF it was given directly to NE, maybe even worse/or better, depends on who you ask??

Supply and demand is a bugger.

LOTS of series have come and gone, we have got to think practically about how to really strengthen the DSC/DD series so we hold a better set of cards than the promoters so they come to us.

Everyone knows top of the pre-season training list for DD is whinging, to miss out wets and warmers from the pre-season whinging schedule is short changing the newcomers, they can damn well take in the whole DD experience as we have all done for the last few years

I think the only thing missing this year is an ex-MotoGP rider being cleared to ride in Class B.....?

15th year in DD #68 and getting slower by the year

Time to re ignite the debate about class C for 748s then?
