why are the two cylinders limited to 65 horses? .. some of those 400's are knocking out 85 .. we sometimes got lumped in with the f400 on minitwins .. and they where about 2 seconds a lap quicker ..

[bally71]

nice to have the option of a second race tho

I am hoping to get out in this, although will be well short of 78 bhp (2 stroke) .Hoping to do a couple of rounds, will be good to see everyone.

Regards
Mark

Mmm I remember the all comers races with New Era, 125 two strokes left us for dead. Just imagine a 250/350, not a hope in hell of being toward the front.

Yep. I remember at Snett following Mark Lister who came second to a 15 year old girl on a 125

Can't see any point in entering that class at all on a DD bike.
Another example of this is the Hottrax Megabike, Superbike, Supersport classes this year. Which if it's like last year due to low entries will mean all three on the same grid again.

Maybe it's lack of understanding on my part but It doesn't make sense to me trying to fill all those catagories. This is the reason iv'e decided to try ThundersoprtGB out this year. One class for billy basic golden era superbikes and busy grids last year.

So you like DD because a new race is introduced where the rules give you virtually no chance of being competative Doesn't sound much like racing to me.
