RACING MEMBERSHIP remains at £25 for
the year and we will do our best to peg Entry Fees at the 2009 levels.
We can`t promise this yet though as we have not had any indication of
Circuit Hire fees from the owners. We also have top worry about the
possible re-imposition of VAT at 17.5% and a known 5% increase in
insurance costs.

JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP ADDED
New Era introduces a JUNIOR Championship alongside the NEWCOMERS
Championship. Each main Championship Class New Era runs (e.g. "Pro Bike
Open") will now have an extra sub Championship class added - the Junior.
Last year there was the main Pro-Bike Class and a Novice Pro-Bike Class.
This year there will be a main Pro-Bike Class - a JUNIOR Pro-Bike Class
and a NEWCOMERS Pro-Bike Class. The same will apply to our other main
championship classes.
NOTE: a Junior is defined as any rider with a Clubmans Licence who is
not required to wear a Novice Jacket at the first New Era meeting he
enters. To be included in the championship, he has to register with
Jackie on the appropriate form. He remains in the JUNIOR Class
throughout the year even if he upgrades his licence.
A NEWCOMER is defined as for the Junior Class described above except
that he or she is a Novice Jacket Wearer at the first meeting he enters.
Fifteen races, eight rounds, four
world championship circuits and two thousand pounds worth of Ducati
Corse Riding Gear
DUCATI UK
and New Era Motorcycle Club have joined forces to launch a ‘one-make
series’ based on Ducati’s 848 Superbike.
The race series, known as the 848 Challenge, will be run over eight
rounds, six in the UK and two in Europe incorporating four world
championship circuits. Each of the UK rounds will host two races. Misano
will also hold two races with Assen being a single race.
Ducati say the 848 Challenge will offer participants a unique
opportunity racing at some of the best circuits in the UK and abroad
with the intention to visit four World Championship circuits that would
include Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Misano and Assen. The Misano
round will be held during the weekend of the 12th and 13th June where
the renowned World Ducati Week takes place - a Ducati festival that is
attended by up to 50,000 fans. The Assen Circuit will welcome the 848
Challenge during the biggest amateur race meeting the ‘Ducati Club
Races’. Other circuits on the calendar include Cadwell, Castle Coombe,
Oulton and Snetterton.
All competitors will use the same model of bike (848/848 Dark) which
with the exception of race fairings, tyres and exhausts will remain
standard.
Competitors can purchase a new 848/848 Dark from any official Ducati
dealer and included in the price will be a new Ducati Corse Riding Gear
Set (Ducati Corse leather suit, Arai Chaser helmet, Ducati Corse gloves,
Puma boots and Dainese-Ducati Back Protector) worth an estimated £2,000,
alternatively second hand 848s are available from dealers.

Note: This was decided in 2009 and worked
successfully - the 2010 meeting will take place at Daventry on 13th Feb
adn so some changes may be agreed there.
Following a very well attended riders meeting at
Daventry on Saturday 14th February, the following was agreed as being
the best format possible for our 2009 Race Days.
Fundamentally, it was agreed that the best method of establishing Grid
Positions for our races would continue to be by Timed Practice.
It was also agreed that, wherever possible there should be an Untimed as
well as a Timed session for everybody.
There would also be a serious attempt to do away with the traditional
Assembly Area, and the hanging about that this involves. The idea being
that every Rider must be aware that there will be one 3 minute call only
for each race. After 3 minutes the Paddock gate will close and late
comers will miss out. Riders will have had Grid Sheets so will know
their Grid Positions and will - in the 3 minutes available - go straight
through the Assembly Area to the Grid without stopping.This will be a
"ONE CALL" System. Obviously this will be a pretty dramatic change and
will place a lot of responsibility on to each rider. It will therefore
be subject to review after a while - but we hope the riders will
co-operate as it is in their interest to do so
LATE ENTRY FEES. It is agreed that there will generally be no late entry
fees charged this year - although there will be a £20 late fee applied
where any Entry is accepted on the day of an event
.
CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS Credit card payments will not be taken any earlier
than the Monday in the week in which the race meeting is due to take
place. But will not be taken on the day of the meeting.
PRESENTATION OF AWARDS To help build a Club identity and atmosphere,
there will be a presentation of awards on the Saturday evening of all
two-day events.
Finally of couse, the less the riders fall off the more track time will
be available for everybody.
