Do we have to be paid up members of Hottrax to race with them?

My understanding is that we need ACU/DSC/NewEra memberships, but not Hottrax... Can someone confirm that?

[monty598]

To race in DD, apart from the ACU licence fee, we need:
DSD membership: £25
DD registration: £20
New Era membership: £25
Total: £70

To race in Minitwins, apart from the ACU licence fee, we need:
Hottrax membership: £30

I didn't know anyone was going to race in minitwins?

To race in Minitwins, ideally you need 72bhp, best options are the SV650 and the ER6, a very well put together 800 Ducati rarely gets a look in these days unless they bend the rules. Wets, Tyre Warmers and some nice Super Corsas or something similar
All Minitwin rounds are the 3 race format at £235 and you don't get to do the Oulton Race Day

Still at least I already have 3 NGRRC Minitwin trophies

£35 for a adittional race seems decent value........................

explain skids as thats a very big accusation

i know twpd (RIP)would have had input here on what you have typed and i also have issues about bending rules to
the 800 is a competitive bike as has been proved many times by the likes of twpd as well as others but as usual it is down to how the rider can ride.
some people have to find a reason for being beaten and the usual one is to say that a bike is bent rather than blame anything to do with themselves or their own bike
