dom, all things being equal, and cash not being too much of an issue. would you step up to a 'stock' 748 series or would you rather do something else?

The DD series is superb, no disputes that, but there is no harm in putting forward ideas about a second series to run along side the current series.

That's harsh considering the circumstances

why have a second series.? why not run as it is with a few modifications that we agree on.?

"Obviously a second class would be pointless if there are only 30 riders for next year, but because of the great support shown already in DD, there could be 50 or 60 riders next year (would be nice eh), so you couldn't really run 2 DD races" from domski.

to be fair , a fairly big assumption is being made here regarding future interest, buti think the max on any grid is 40.

even more assumptions but if we had 40 entrants for next year and the first race was at the woodland again, then there would be 10 (newcomers probably) not getting out there.

all ifs and and etc, but food for thought.

i certainly wont be missing out. when can i put my name down for next year?

How would you accomodate 50+ riders then?

Having made the error of running before I could walk in 1999, I would stick to the current DD series for a second season, even if I won it (which I won't) and even if I was a millionaire (which I'm not)

Although I have race experience, it's not as much as everyone thinks or makes out, and so I am starting all over again, but this time doing it properly.

U know what they say about assumptions.....2 classes m8 obviously.....but 50+ is very opptomistic and remember the fast guys like you Tp etc will be on BSB rides next year surely!! so that will deplete the numbers...:P

i already have a 748 in the shed ready to go..LOL

Ahh yes, but the series I'm dreaming up in my head won't allow 'R's!

BSB eh?

Anyway ... the point is really just a bit of brainstorming, as Dom said. No harm in that and I can't see how it detracts from the current DD series.

If something was to go ahead then talking about it now could generate the idea's and momentum it needed to be fully ready for next year. Just a thought. If you're not thinking ahead your going backwards, as they love to say in meetings.

[fil2]

no R's huh..thats 'R'acist


Phil

PS..im tapping my sponsor up for a new 620ie next year
