As always the chairs suffer. Isn't there something about riders only been allowed to do a maximum of 9 laps a day and with them making the twins 4 laps and senior 6 laps it's to many. Easy fix Senior 5 twins 4.

There is a maximum number but I can't remember it now. I bet brother Graham still knows and he's had a bang to the head!

Im sure the maximum no is nine Steve. They want more top riders in the Mini Twin race though. So moving it away from the same day as the Senior should work for them.

I was sure I saw something about that.
But it concerns the machines and not the drivers.
It was inside the 2012 Regs (page 3) and it disappears since this date.
f) Multiple Races
It is not permitted to ride the same motorcycle in more than one race held on the same day if this would result in the machine completing more than seven laps on that day.
So the riders can race 4 laps with the Twins, then 6 laps with the Senior bikes, that could be a Twin.

I can't see that line in the 2014 or 2015, can't find any restriction listed.
