DD Update 8th June 2015 - 4th meeting possible

I am well on the way in discussions for a 4th meeting
This would be a one day meeting in early July
It would be our own DD grid providing there are enough entrants and would consist of 15 minutes practice and two 10 lap races

Can I get an idea of who would be interested

Venue is Mallory Park on Sunday the 5th July with EMRA

Currently got something else planned for that day, would it be part of the championship?

Yes with a separate DD grid it would be championship as these are replacement rounds, this would take us to 26 races for the season

then we would be likely to go for the allowing 6 races dropped with the 20 best scores to count which is nigh on 77% where as the original championship was almost 79% of the total

This Wednesday's morning count is
6 yes
8 possibly
11 No
12 not heard from

So we would need all the possibles and half the not heard from to make this happen as we need 20 to secure a grid

Sadly I don't think we are going to make the numbers, so i will be letting the EMRA organisers know that we are unable to take up their offer as the figures currently stand at

14 Yes to doing it
3 Possible
6 No Response
14 No, can't make it

So looking unlikely we will get the 20 required
It was all a bit last minute and it wasn't the only EMRA meeting that they would have liked us at but their other 2 one day meetings at Mallory clash with a 2 of the two dayers we have already committed to

2013 8 rounds, 23 races, all races count
2014 9 rounds, 26 races, drop 3 races equal to one round
2015 11 rounds, 33 races drop 7 races equal to two rounds

With the revised calendar including Mallory (hopefully, even though I can't make it) I would prefer to following.
2015 8 rounds 26 races, drop 4 races equal to one round

Alternatively dropping 5 would at least take us back over the 80% at 80.7% compared 78.8% as originally planned if people think dropping one round is a bit tight as the calendar has changed.
2015 8 rounds 26 races, drop 5 races or 80.7%
What do people think?

I believe the reason for originally dropping rounds was due to long distance rounds, i.e. the first being Assen, if there are only 8 rounds and they are not hundreds of miles away, do you really need to drop rounds???

diluting the mixture

It looks to me that bearing in mind that too many rounds and dropped/missed rounds is probably a big factor in the demise of hottrax and the reduced entry numbers on dd and other grids- if we want fuller grids and everyone at all or most weekends again then the less dropped results should mean the stronger and more fucused dd will be-

With last year's keenly competed class b everyone felt the need to do all including extra rounds to stay in the championship- this year with hottrax over ambitious schedule it reached the point where i think too many people just couldn't afford that so were starting to pick out what they could. As we are now looking at totally realistic calendars again it should be fair to hope that we will get back to the strength we had before with everyone keen for all rounds and with all money spent and results gained being counted and rewarded in championship points.

Therefore my thoughts are that with only 8 rounds there should be no need to drop results or maybe at most equivalent to 1 round only to be fair to those that for some reasons or other just can't make it to all rounds-

Well done again to Kev for being on the case and creating a hopefully much better situation for us in the long run out of a mess-

By the way is there final verdict on Mallory?
