Shame they were still cashing in entries for Knockhill last night.
Should have entered on the day
Certainly casts doubts on their credibility

Unfortunately, Mr. Mabbutt's credibility has been brought into question many times before and he has upset many along the way.

My thoughts are that a "company" doesn't just go out of business overnight, so relying on those that have paid up front, not actively seeking further entries, not valuing current customers etc, only compounds the feelings that many have for Mr. Mabbutt.

More importantly DD has to find a new home, where they are welcomed and valued, not pushed in a corner and endured by others.

I really hope this works out for the DD paddock, as they deserve more than they got from Hottrax.

Hope you guys find a new home and quick. Looking on the bright side if you have a full grid you are very attractive to other clubs.
Finger crossed
