I notice there isn't an eastmids regional grass champs. Is it combined with Yorks like the hard tracks are, or isn't there one at all? And if there isn't, can I ride in the eastern grass champs for my second claim club?
Oh yes, I am driving again

rules for points on track are different this year, only get point for races over 5km or so, very few meetings will have more than a single event scoring license points if any.... |

There are very few regional champs on the grass. Aside from Eastern region the only one I know of is North West normally have one. Sadly you can't ride for Mildenhall, you are only eligible for the champs of the region where you live. Sorry. |

nope, just the same as any other track event (i.e. less than a 4th Cat road race)

Close, the cut off distance is 3km. So most devil-take-the-hindmosts will probably be points scoring events, if it had been 5km they probably wouldn't have been. Does this mean all chief comms will have to count the laps in a devil to see if points are scored or not?? yet another job to do  |

Great back to a sensible License category next season for midweek crits and road racing!
Or i might have to ride some more 8k's the season after to stop having to ride with the 3rds!  |
