lol  ;)

All good stuff said above.

I don't think any of the bikes fuel capacities need changing permanently  - it would be more important to keep them realistic. But just a few bikes modded and released as 'endurance versions' for the event would do, even if they are disposable after a race. Can't see anyone minding that?

Ah for tyre changes and refuelling in the pits (like WRS does) what options that would open......hmm and rider changes would be great ..... oh oh the Hopes and dreams list is coming out again.  :D

So we want tyre changes, refueling, rider changes and maybe even bike changes (changing weather conditions ;) ;) )

Rider changes!  :o

Are we talking about 24hour races too then??  Personally I think riders will have problems riding for 1+ hours never mind 24 hours even with a rider change. Hehe  ;D

Just presuming if rider changes are being asked for that the 24 hour type endurance races were in mind? Otherwise what's the point in having rider changes?  Surely not for normal lap count races? Lol :P  ;D

Lol - add a night selection to go with sunny/cloudy and rainy and we are there!

OK well our first race was a 500cc race to be fair but no reason we can't do one of these soon. I will add it to the suggestions list which I am trying to work through hold yer horses!  ;D

I agree with Bob....  Let's have more GP circuit type races..... Real road races are okay now and again, but seems the club is going weird with wanting supermoto and scooter events. Are we becoming a bunch of puffter MODS or what!? Hehe!  ;D ;D

Me and my dad saw it at the BMF in Peterborough a couple of years ago, it was a moshpit of scooters going round a dirt oval with two shikans! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0MujCCQnRk)
