And if in the near future I want to race a 500 single Ducati, I don't mind to race with multi's. Mostly it is possible to have the second ride anyway with the organisation like CRMC or CRMB own 500 or 350 classes As an 350 competitor I don’t mind to race together with the 500 singles.

I think to get a good grid you should have it split into 350cc and 500cc in one race, mainly on grounds of cost and being able to fill the grid because to convert a TR350 Yamaha for 500cc class would be quite costly hello Graham. re multi cylinder GP class

If the CRMC was being formed today a CBR600 would be old hat!

I think we could also have two different starting techniques for the two races - push start for the singles as currently, but the multis would have to have clutch starts. I also suspect that some of the reduction in grids this year is our collective financial situation - regrettably, I cannot afford to do Schleiz this year, but hope to next season. I think Tony's comment about other non-road circuits is valid - perhaps we could become guests at some of the more interesting French circuits like Pau? I would not want us to give up on the roads, however, as circuits like Mettet, Schleiz, Chimay and especially Gedinne make racing worthwhile I would be happy to race in a singles only mixed 250, 350 and 500 race, and have the option to race in a mixed singles and multicylinder class with air cooled two strokes.

3-4 cylinder and younger GP bikes in an other group.

Can see what happen next season.

I hope this will attract the old and hopefully new riders, so they come riding with us again to keep the IHRO flag flying. I will continue to support IHRO. Regards to all, Jan Hi Graham,

All you can do is go ahead and see how it goes, as you say, damned if you do, damned if you don’t. It seems a good idea that the multi cylinder and grand prix machines have their own class.Might I suggest that IHRO consider sourcing meetings at other European circuits as well as road circuits, this would undoubtedly attract more entries from riders who will not ride on road circuits. I appreciate it is not easy but in the days of InCA there were some good circuits and the entry fees were no more than entry fees are now.I know the economic situation now means that a lot of riders are on a tight budget and those who would normally travel to Schleiz are no longer able to because the price of diesel etc., making it harder for the working man and the retired worker. Therefore, we should be searching for circuits in Europe but closer i.e., France, Belgium and possibly Holland where the cost of getting there is not prohibitive.I also feel that sump guards under engines should be compulsory for IHRO and also silencing should become compulsory as it is in the UK. This would then allow IHRO to go to more circuits where these rules apply and we wouldn’t be racing on cement dust all the time.I will continue to support IHRO as much as I can whatever is decided.
