Assuming the 2 new riders beat Kev he would still be 2 places further up the grid than he would be if ALL the riders that started the season were riding(the fact being that at least 4 (usually top 15 finishers) will not be starting at Cadwell .
In my book that would be a result if I were in Kevs position.
As to supporting the riders that have done all 5 rounds,why should we penilise those that are the future of the series.

by getting no points is that really penalised.?..

not agreeing or disagreeing at the moment just unsure how if you have entered in the last round or so wether you get points or not would make a difference to your aspirations for next year.?

for me if i entered the last race with a plan to doing it next year i would be well chuffed to get some points, and get on the league table. how about you?

not sure dickie............im in two minds..yes i guess it would be good to see a quantifiable result in black and white....but on the other hand if it meant i pushed lets say YOU out of the top 10 which you have tried to attain all year..then no i guess i would rather not have the points.


its a tuff one............

It's difficult to say "they're faster than me..." isn't it? And because there is no world champion within us, I think that sentence is valid for each of us.

Everybody agrees that the rules are not very fair this year, there's nothing new. We already did 5 meetings like this, so why changing that now? Let's finish this first racing season with its small bugs and let's trust the racing comitte for next year instead of asking patches after every meetings.

We should better welcome new riders instead of preventing them to have fun tasting DD. I don't know you but for me a race without standing is not a race...

kind of agree, but i dont think you can change rules retrospectively. people that have shared rides havnt been excluded because they had no chance of winning it. at the end of the day you have to go out there and beat the others who are on that particular grid on that particular day. at least 3 people around your level wont be at this meeting who were at the first. you are generally going to be racing against the same riders but there will always be a slighltly different make up.

Of course you can add or change rules, the shape of the series could not really be accurately anticipated at the start of the season, so you need rules that apply then and should have the flexibility to add or change rules later in the year.

But if a rule needs to be changed or added (680 big bore!!!) then it should be. - or have I missed your point?

[dickieducati]

tim, no you may be right. to be honest im like phil, not really sure whats best.

to reply to phil. were i pushed out of a top ten spot by a newcomer in the last race ? i honestly think i would take it on the chin and accept it. i would nt be happy, more with my performance than anything else.

i guess i kind of am in that position. i could get a top 20 place (yeah i know its not much to some) but could well be pushed out of it by newcomers. so be it i recon.

honestly dont know whats fair though. i'll just duck out now.

Just spoken to Adam (T5mission) and he says he doesnt give a monkeys about the points.
He just wants to be out there with a load of likeminded ducati fans pushing his limits.
So that leaves Hawk if isnt fussed about points either. problem solved.

[t5mission]

Hi folks,

As glyn said I not really bothered about points at Cadwell or the next season, mainly because after my trackday at Cadwell last week I don't expect to get any unless Demo Due are planning to give points for most impressive crash.

I really just want to get back on the track for a giggle and the social life you just don't get with the car racing.

Adam.

[NBs996]

Adam, you can have some of Fil2's points... say, 26 of them?

ok ok, back on topic. I see both sides of the arguement here, but still of the opinion that points be available to anyone on the grid meeting the entry requirements. It's a close call tho.

cheers Nick

so when I win both races at Cadwell - you can all give me a snog - eh chaps?
