Skids,

I guess it's a numbers game and I don't want to **** off any one in either
class in DD.

I'd like to be able to run in a couple or races each race day as I won't get enough track day test time, so spend time in SOT learning and getting faster.

If there is no benefit to DD in running in 620's then that's OK.

I would rather run in 620s' than SOT due to the nature of the competititon and the bike not being deeply underpowered in SOT.

I only said ask??

Don't start on the voting...

You make a lot of good points, but not this one

If it's for extra practice/tracktime/learning then it doesn't matter if you're underpowered in SOT does it - because you're just practicing/learning etc etc.

I would have less issues with this if 583 riders didn't score in the 620 class, then you're not 'taking' anything away from a 620 to whom this is their only series.

But then, what if you get in the way when Geoff et al, come around on the final lap and you're in the way and alter the outcome of a race that you're using for practice/learning etc?

At least if you mess up in SOT you're not gunna upset anyone in DD.

I dunno, it looks like with 30 in each class that this won't be an issue. However, you can have 38 or 40 on some grids...

The only advantage that I can see is that the DSC gets an improved reputation with New Era, as we are providing fuller grids which equals more revenue.

The fact that the reveneues would be the same, as the individuals would probably compete in SoT anyway is irrespective. Perception is reality!!!

Or are there 583 riders who would enter the 620 and not the SoT because of the power difference?????

I prefer to be as I am than being scared of having small 583s racing with me in the 620 class

Best not enter Minitwins with NG then as they share the same grid.

Well from out side looking in (non dd'er) it looks like hand bags at dawn!


for once I am Glad I can't afford to join in but at least i won't get my eyes scratched out or my hair pulled.

It sounds like your scared of getting beaten by a less powerfull bike dom.

Also on the argument of warm tyres add in the equasion a rider having already raced would also be suffering from fatigue !

just my 2p

I am so not scared, you wouldn't believe.

The only time I sat on a 2005 620, this happened...



...Oh look, I beat the nearest 583 rider by 28 seconds (30 in race 2) and Phil on his 675 - the first non 620, by 12 seconds (20 seconds in race 2).
