Not TT but! - Anonymous - 26-03-2004
Can anyone confirm a rather strange rumor, That to compete in the 400cc class @ Knockhill you cannot have won the championship before? I know this does not and will not affect me but if true what about the champions from past years? are they expected to move to another class? Anyone?
Regards John

And you have got to be in the holding bay before the chequered flag drops from the previous race, or the gates shut and you are not allowed to race .......Strange but true (or it has been for the last few seasons)

Stella, the regs are clear for all to read on the KDMC web site.

Doesn't stop them being daft, though, Harvey!

But i thought Decisions like that had to be confirmed with the SACU, Who incidentaly were infuriated to have not been consulted on this matter?
How does someone who has then won the championship get to compete on there 400? Assuming that they cannot afford to do another class?
Well on speaking to certain folk, Bob Grant and others, would be welcome to ride at East Fortune, So is this not a roundabout way of pushing riders away?, The rewards of winning a championship! If this is the case why not do it for EVERY class,Then people would have something to say!
and on reading in Bikesportnews this is being classed as a Scottish Championship event? since when? Silly i think!

Thanks for clearing that up harvey, sounds fair enough. Its the rules regarding safety that get me annoyed, but thats another story.

Thats certainly made things clearer Harvey! Just seems unfair! As regards The SACU, they have no idea as to why or even how this should have happened! Lets hope they look at this site for a clearer explanation! Or possibly race meeting organisers could actually keep the governing body up to date with such motions instead of keeping them in the dark! Cheers John

Harvey how about explaining more as to why that specific series has nothing to do with the SACU? I would be interested in your opinions on this one!
The sports governing body having nothing to do with the series?
If they dont have the final say then Exactly who does? cheers John
