but they would want to do that to a 696 too  must admit I am amazed at the lack of 620 race bieks out there. At one time, it almost had a full grid of its own, and I'm sure in the eraly days there were easily as many A as B, or at least very close. Seems the last 3 years it has fallen off pretty sharply, whereby I think Brands had 7. Anyone have any concreet ideas why? Maybe we all promote B class because its what most of us race and is fuller? Could simply finding some bikes (!) and promoting A be the way forward? Still a good novice class when you compare to even 400s racing  |

| This topic of updating DD has been debated so many times my own thread on the matter last year gained over a hundred replies. I for one would not be prepared to go and spend 5k on a 696 to do exactly the same racing. I really do not think DD needs updating in a way that means you have to spend wads of cash. It is meant to be budget racing so lets keep within those guide lines. The subject of wets/warmers will always raise it's head as many people I have spoken with who show some intrest in DD are put off by the lack of this choice. What does it matter if there are 7 or 70 A bikes on the grid? Can we just get on with racing please.  |

if we could get 20 then maybe we can have seperate grids again, plus surely its better to be a champion of 20 than 10 riders (not that I'm in that catergory) agree with the rest though. Changes recently means suspension is now more adjustable, but the challenge isnt really whats is the bike in A class as such, its getting those in B to move and/or new entrants to go straight into A and less than 3 weeks now big balls |

You would have to look back through the years to see how many people went from B to A, and how many came in from other racing. Class A could do with a few more riders. Actually does it really matter if there are only 6 riders in A providing they are having a good time and combined we have a healthy grid??? Mark  |

the 620's are already much faster than the 583's, I don't think it could possibly be concidered safe to put them on the same track so they would need their own grid,,, what if there's still only 6 bikes? would that be the end of A's the difference between a 583 and a 620 is much more than the figures suggest, I've ridden both and there is little comparison. |

| Just aint going to work this 696, there may be a few that can go look for one now but there will be more thats all they will be able to do , look. Take the 848 thing with New Era and run by DSC I think sort off ?? It died a death at our level. Only when it went to BSB did it attract some numbers and then it also attracted some far faster riders than most of our A group. And yes it would totaly spoil the B race ( which is not broke ) if they were on the same grid or if you look at it another way B would spoil the 696 race half way through  Blimey it expensive enough as it is, lord knows what 848 racing is but I would expect 696 to be not far off as its not just the cost of buying the bike is it. Personal opinion: Scrap A and just have a clasic bike series ( B ) Full grid cheap racing. If you want to better that, can afford real mans racing its move on and up to another series.   |
