Here is an idea that comes from one of the timing guys. How about a one make race. All standard machines ... keys in a bucket ... and off you go ... that would be a true test of the riders.. and also make a heck of a spectacle for those watching .... I think it would be a great idea.... you could replace the second supersport race with the one make one. I think the riders would love it......

On the point of start times and rider numbers , only three riders were lapped in the last race yesterday, this is a special point as most of the riders were complaining that they were coming across more slower riders quicker and having to deal with more and more of them in previous years. I think this is a safety issue that has maybe been dealt with well. Or do any of you think that it is better to have more riders being caught quicker? An interesting point is also that the lap times and sector times are also slower than last years in comparison so is the number of riders being caught down to that or do they not have a real affect on the top riders?

If they don't really have an affect then increase numbers, it is also noticeable that the slower riders were all lapping at nearly 110, last man 109.625 average next man 110.821 in the superstock race for example. SO are the times getting better as the quality of the entries are better ... well obviously ... but if you increase numbers then the quality can not be kept constant or bettered. I don't know if there is a real answer to this, but maybe if safety is paramount then maybe this is the way to go? By the way yesterdays finishers 44 supersport race and 42 in the superstock race.
