Don't be put off by my broken bones

Dom, I would have been there NOW if the MT hadn't decided on 600's and against 750's. Who cares if my 750Sport is my transport to work every day, DD would have taken precendence!

PS, mend soon mate!

Next year you could run two race groups to cope with numbers. A and B from timed practise.
That way the two types of bikes can stay as is and riders of all abilities could race more closely.
Then set up a 748 top class the year after, for riders wanting to move on but not disappear in to non-Ducati club racing.

There's always one smart arse :P

We clearly can't do that, I've just been cruising ebay and autotrader looking at 748's!

There's some interesting bikes on there at the moment. A 955 Corse track bike for example

An almost new 748RS!

I wish

But I would like to end up in MRO in some series in the next 5 years.

Depends on how long Ange puts up with it for I guess. And what other sacrifices I'm prepared to make for it!

If you got this far and your still on speaking terms you’ve got yourself a diamond

Folks,

You have forgotten one thing in all these blinding suggestions, there are a group of people who dont race who have to put a lot of effort in to make it all happen so that you can race!

Given the level of work that it has taken to get this relatively "simple" series off the ground, you now seem to want multiple classes and much more expensive bikes.

Why dont we wait till September and have a meeting at Brands and talk about what is possible for 2006, nothing is going to be done in the short term. Get a few more meetings under your belts and the views will change.

our plan is to run a 4 bike team of 620 monsters for next year,so more of the same please!

my views, as of now, may change but i doubt it:

the series we have now should remain exactly as it is, there is no reason to change anything. it is a good entry level series for club members and should remain so. we want to keep new people coming into the series without fannying about with rules, engine sizesetc.

going forward; if,and when we have enough interest and realistically you are looking at 60+ racers then imho the 748 series is the way to go, again as other have said keeping it fairly simple on the rules and regs front. cant see the point of have 2 different DD series. DD and DQ is the way to go.

think in all honesty it is likely to be 2007 though. will be interesting to see how many people enter next year. a few people talking about it but talk is cheap. as we found out at the first race eh domski?

p.s looked at the video of your 'torpedo'again at the weekend, very impressive rolling stoppie. bought the stuff i need to get it on the pc but now find out i havnt got a firewire on my pc! will sort it soon though.
