Class A in the Grave?
I was looking at the standings and noticed how small the Class A grid is. Is that it for the season or are there people missing from the list who did not attend the first two rounds?

I'm sure JPM and Lily are missing for very good reasons, if it wasn't for the Saturday accident there would be 12 in the standings, but that is still 9 to 10 people short of the list I was given at the begining of the season.

I have just missed the only meeting I intend missing this year, I have booked both days at Snetterton using Sunday as a test day to see if the bike is improved.

Yes, not nice hearing about JPM and Lily. I was looking at Tonio's website and the list there is still short....

I'm sure all those not racing again this year have good reasons.

Is it time to look again at rules for next year and try to find a balance between the performance of class A and class B bikes, so they can be run as one class.
Given the results of the dyno and weight figures maybe we're not too far away as it is.

Let the 750 carb'd bikes run against 620 injecteds, a simple upgrade to the 583's already out there
