[badgerpilot]

Been on New Era site and saw this pile of 5h1te as preliminary dates for next season:-

Mallory - Sunday 21st March
Cadwell Park - W/end 17th + 18th April
Anglesey - W/end 8th + 9th May
Mallory - Monday 31st May
Snetterton - W/end 17th + 18th July
Pembrey - W/end 21st + 22nd August
Castle Combe - Saturday 11th September
Cadwell Park - W/end 2nd + 3rd October
plus possible Donington / Silverstone to add

Why 2 Cadwells and Mallorys but no Oulton Park????????

These dates are utter rubbish for me personally, they're gonna cost me loads of holidays and numerous rows plus there's no way I can do the 3 x 1 day events plus for Snett and Pembrey I'm relying on my mate giving up his booked days off. Is it worth me entering next year???????

What was wrong with the last set of dates and how many more changes will they make????

I really hope I've made a mistake looking at the site, anyone else's thoughts!

Scott,

I was actually at New Era yesterday and have agreed the provisional calendar for DD in 2010. This will go up later over the weekend.

There is still one round to be confirmed next week and everything is subject to Bernie's negotiations with Silverstone over the F1. This I think is due to be resolved within the next 7 days.

Any dates aren't going to suit everybody, but we are still working on trying to have one round per month. I also dont see why you would need to be wasting holiday, the Championship rounds should all be on one day (normally Sunday), so I cant see that you need any Fridays.

I understand that there wont be any racing at Donnington next year, this has put more pressure on the other tracks for available time.

No Oulton. Very disappointing.

I think a lot of it is down to cost, with Oulton & Brands being the 2 most expensive circuits to hire in the country. No problem when the club hireing the circuit has full grids and a large program, but in times like these with small grids etc, you cut out the expensive ones and add the cheaper ones Mallory etc.

At 18 miles away Mallory suits me fine.

Good point Chris but couldn't these two circuits help by reducing prices a bit in this current recession? just a thought.
