John

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.

First time out with DD, will have a 540 mile round trip, hope not to fall off as that would be a real bummer!!!!

I am used to the classics where they have pretty much binned qualifying, you get a practise, then grid position for the first race on championship points, there after your race finish is your grid position.

I am never able to do all rounds, thus tend to get mid field grid position for first race and work my way up. Good racing, a lot of fun, which is what it is all about.

Seems a lot of practise and not so much on the racing, but hope to get as much track time, and I am sure it wil all work itself out, and when the racing starts it will be all nice and friendly, well maybe not on the first corner of the first lap!!!!

Quite right Nick,

If I just go out and torture some drug dealers for their cash, get King Kong tattooed on my belly and lop off an ear, the gigantic p155 take that NE are offering up won't seem half so bad.

and Mr Payne, you won't get a place up the finishing order that easily mate!

Doesn't bother me too much, but if people in the real world wanted to do the trackday on the Thursday as well, that would most likely mean 4 days off work for some.....but at least there'll be some Dutch Ducati's to make up for the loss in wages.

La, lalalalalaaaaaaa!

Some of you guys are just making statements to appear cool and unaffected by it all.

Rattler always stated he hates whingers, and I agree. I hate pirates more though!

I take my hat off to you Steve for showing such commitment. The first corner is the best, just get stuck in there and don't give a quarter or a third or anything. Your all lucky bastids I just wish I could be with you all again, Oh how I've missed the paddock.
