Well, technically by the sound of your last post, you haven't really lost it. Why not have a night out in Poole and enjoy the local amenities, ye never know,,, you might meet a nice Swede?
It's a right old can of worms, isn't it?,,, suppose it takes diversity to the limit,,, you can't do right for doing wrong, and you can't be wrong, cos that's not diverse enough!!!,,, why not just have imaginary goalposts and make it up as it goes?
Maybe the jump from NDL to CL is like the old jump from NNL to GBL,,, maybe going back to 2 leagues would be better. You might not be able to accommodate the worlds best, but let's face it, there ain't many around these shores anyway. There could maybe be room for amatuer junior teams to, remember the Felton Flyers?
What happens if a reserve (7 or 8) gets injured, do you name a no.9 or just have 3 rider races?
Good idea, thinking outside the box, but that is another problem with that format.
A pneumatic drill isn't the answer,,, just nibble away at the ridges with grinder and bolster chisel would be the way forward IMO,,, Wouldn't be done before dark, a pneumatic hoover called Henry might be handy for clearing up tho.
