RE: A question for the classic boys
I,m not sure why I didn't receive the email ? Maybe its because the club already know of my reasons for not entering this year.

In my opinion, 2 of the main reasons why the Senior Classic entries have declined in recent years, are competing against 'super' classics and that the calculation for replica time has not changed.

The single cylinder racing classic became redundant when the Paton was allowed into the MGP. The difference in performance is such that you become totally demoralised, despite riding the wheels off, when you see their lap times. The knock on, when they win, is the impact on the number of replica's awarded.

I've been very lucky and have won a few replica's since my first Classic MGP in 1995. There are many, however, trying to get their first and when you have to lap at over at 100 to be within replica time you begin to ask the question, why should I bother.

It has always been the case that money can sometimes buy you the competitive edge, but this is now beyond a joke !

I hope the feedback given to the club will have a positive impact and lets hope we have full classic grids, next year.
