Cargo, If that post is aimed at me then I totally understand what the TT course licence is intended to prove. And to be honest I think it is sensible to take in a reasonable number of events to stay sharp for the Island.
However what constiutes "activeley taking part"?? turning up competing in one heat without trying, packing up and going home is not "actively taking part" in my opinion. Whilst competing in a meeting comprising 5 events which you have to qualify for, plus 2 days of practice is definately "Actively taking part". Therefore in my opinion one should be given more merit than the other........Just my opinion.
A rider I know was told that he could not count a result gained in the Mallory Park plum pudding meeting towards his TT course licence as the ACU see this as a "Fun Event". Despite the fact that you can count it towards moving from novice to clubman and clubman to national......................Explain that one to me?
