Nice idea but I think the ACU would sooner let you ride naked than do a le mans start! Not only would it be lethal, but you'd also have to have loads of helpers to hold the bikes up which is the last thing you want on a grid!

Good luck though.

I think the ACU might let you do a Le Mans type start...as long as you started in Le Mans while everyone else was on the grid at Snetterton

LOL has ANYONE seen some of the DD racers.... it would be worth the organisation purely for entertainment value.

Le Mans style starts are the norm at endurance events with the KRC, so there's no reason why we can't have them.

However, I do think it's a stupid idea

I'm running the London marathon on the 23rd April, if I make the second DD race does that count???

Only if we don't have to run 26 miles as well

Have you tried running fully kitted with helmet, back protector and squeaky boots ?

Tis not funny at all
