I like it. Plenty of time to fix the bike

Let's remember it is provisional folks and it could be changed to split grids if the numbers are there

Mind you, if they do, hope it's not last race... it's gonna be pretty dark at 7pm at night

[bradders]

timings do seem a bit pants on the Sat...if you're not entering another class just not worth it!! and what class can you enter - doesnt look a suitable one there

yuk, glad I'm not at that meeting. If you are far from Donny, it means turning up Friday night, scrut in the morning, 20 mins session then nothing for 24 hours! Then they make you stay until 5.15 + packing up and it will be a late drive home for some on Sunday night, all for two races. Some of the other decisions also seem weird, 125's are only Saturday 10 min practice and one race 6 laps only, who would make the trip for that? What a waste of money. I may be out of touch, but with NE we used to get a practice and two races on both days, ie 6 sessions on track in the weekend and you could sometimes blag a second practice pass.

Not what I would call value for money.

if you look at it it is because it is the Moto six and effectively we are guests.

There are only a few classes (us/125 and lansdowne) that only get one practice and then 2 races. If we don't get split grids as well then it is going to be pretty dull for DD

I think we need to wait and see how the discussions go with RC and New Era tomorrow and take it from there.

Yea the saturday thing is what put a bee in my Bonnet, As it stands I will have to close the shop on my busiest day of the week to pick my nose in the paddock, Still havent had a good clearout for a while.
Lets just hope that everyone gets their entries in by tomoz and we can have a better weekend than is currently on the schedule.
