am I the only person that feels robbed of a slot at Assen to make way for our overly sponsered 'new boys' on their shiny 848's????

TBH after last time I'm not surprised there is no invite back!!

It's a question of numbers - if you don't make 35 entries then you don't get a grid. If enough people had gone last year, you might have one this year. Simple as that.

But we still had a great time

Not feeling robbed as I must admit I was suprised at the announcement made at Cadwell.
As I mentioned else where for Assen 2009 we had less than half a grid register a interest before the dead line so we lost the grid to someone else. Once these things are lost they are hard to get back especially with the 2008 antics

Assen DD.........Like last year i think it's down to the current climate and lack of dosh/hanging
on to what you have!

The 848 series is in a different league and no doudt all race's are already
budgeted for by Teams/dealers.

I believe the 848 series will be good, reminisant of the old 350 Elsies pro/am days. It is a far different league to us, at my age I couldn't do it either. So for DD we have a good range of tracks and maybe a telly slot. I've never ridden Assen, been there 2004 for WSB and the craic.

I don't think its a great loss to us, as it would have been hugely expensive when you add up the shillings on your return.

I'll be happy when I beat you at the Asda Car park (Mallory)

I for one would have loved to have done Assen. It's my first season and I want a shot at doing something different. I am very gratefull for the calendar that we have and there are some really good tracks there with the possibility of being at a BSB event.

If we cant do Assen I would love to see it replaced with something else a little different. If there is not enough people interested then just make the most of what we have.

Mark, you will just love Anglesey, it has everything except guaranteed weather, but was good for us on race day this year.
