telecat Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 So looks like the number of rounds for the C & D Championship is a bit much. After the ACU said they would try and make things "easier" for parents they come up with 8 rounds in 7 months!!!! That might sound OK but 3 of those are in September!! Even worse for any competitor south of Watford 6 of them are in the North. The A&B at least has the Rounds spread around datewise even though most are northern based. This is the Problem. The EXPENSE of these rounds. The Petrol, Diesel, Parts and Accommodation incurred means many potential Entrants are already put off. It cost me over £300 a round 4 years ago. That was averaging it out between the Close and Distant rounds. I expect it will be over £500 each without adding in the cost of the Bike and Van to carry it. Yet instead of addressing that issue they Fiddle with the rules expecting more bikes to enter. Not with these fixtures they won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasthatchgas Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 At least one rider in the D class last year and he finished 3rd......bearing in mind several rounds were in the West Country last year think he did more travelling then most....damn right he should get the chance to compete in a British championship in Scotland....just as there should really be a round in Wales and Ireland but can't have it all. Do all rounds count this year?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
