The only change that will come from this is those that are frustrated at their lack of progress will realise it's their riding that needs attention not everyone elses bikes.

I believe this to be true too and this has come about at Bemsee following two seasons of constant checking of bikes. Every podium bike and a selection of up to 6 others from the following pack, middle or back - it hasnt mattered. This has put more pressure on riders to perform better in their riding, suspension set up and tyre use - as well as ensuring their bikes are legal. It has made the class very competitive and full due to the attraction of a real stock series that is also relatively cheap.
Lap times have come down and records broken at Cadwell and Snetterton by a significant margain in the last 6 months of racing - Bemsee may have taken a real lead on this but other clubs should do all they can to catch up. This Good friday finds Bemsee MRO minitwins represented at the BSB meet at Brands Hatch. Practice, Qualifying plus three races of 12 laps in one day - a real endorsement of the quality in the class.
