I think we need a list of those who MAY be eligible, for me to check with Kev.

Well I am definitely a novice but might be a professional moto crosser if the season continues at Anglesey as it started at Brands for me

I do think that you should be allowed to enter a novice championship if you have raced in DD for one round maximum before the start of the eligible season.

There seem to be a few novices that get out and have a go for one or two races then start the season. Ther are allsorts of possibilities.

Just reading up on the vest shedding as I am quite close.

Peter redgewell is not a novice. you need to get around the paddock more Ron!!

Phil the Drill (can never spell his surname!!)

what I mean is...there are 8 rounds, so if you do them all you should only get 8 signatures which means you would have a vest at the end of the year...unless you race over two days; not sure how the rules apply now to this, used to be a race event rather than each race day

or...

anyone with a novice vest who has not competed in DD for more than one round as suggested above - simple

There were only 7 last year and I managed to loose my vest AND upgrade to National Licence. So unless the rules have significantly changed it is possible for a complete Novice to do that this year (The rule used to be 10 Separate days (not events), on 3 different tracks, finishing in the top 50% with at least (6 or 10?) finishers).... and that is for the National licence upgrade, so I would expect just loosing the Orange vest to be less than that?

used to be 3 race events, and a Sat/Sun race would be classed as 1. I think this was chnaged last year tho, as I used 3 from 2008, plus 7 days from last year and got rid of vest at Cadwell on the Sat.

saying that, mine is a clubman as I havent finished that much in top 50%
