125s seem to have been dropped altogether.

So the New Era classes aren't doing that brilliantly out of it.
Maybe we shouldn't have bothered with Donington this year and either had 2 rounds at Mallory or started the season at Angelsey.

But a few months ago the choice of race dates were very thin when having to try and make a decision, as there was only one Cadwell, No Oulton and Pembrey wasn't confirmed leaving 3 Mallory's, 1 Angelsey, 1 Snetterton, 1 Castle Combe and 1 Donington.
Take Donington out of that lot and its not the best looking race Calendar and bearing in mind there is no race format at that time what are you supposed to do.

Then maybe another club should have been a better option, especially as we had no ties as Assen was off. We've been loyal, but its not the same other way, eh!

I see why people have left / moved on, cant say i'll continue this pallava next year. There's better options now, especially with televised cb500's elsewhere.

It's a shame we finish late on both days, but I really like mixed grids, they're even more of a mess

That's part of the overall idea Steve, once I've got my head round it I doubt I'll be quick to be competitive but it was as cheap as a decent DD "A" bike just the tyre bill is bigger.

It never changes, just regurgitates every year.......

DD gets the smelly end of the stick yet again......

[Fastfasulli]

Other clubs?

What makes anyone think other clubs would be any different? Can anyone explain?

BTW - I sent a note to the RC before christmas suggesting that DD starts in April and ends in September. 6 rounds in total. If we went down this route we may have more entries per round and hopefully meaning two grids. Quality rather than quantity. Clearly not enough other people agree with me and did the same.

One more thing...I don't recall DD being last grids out for every round last year. I don't think we are being picked on by New Era. Unless someone out there knows better??
