Default format

Both formats are good and bad.
the 2 qual and 1 final is more the normal format you would race anywhere
but in our small hall qual causes problems, if your first of within 1 ,2 laps you are then trying to lap some person just getting going he is reluctant to let you go why should they in the end a crash happens your qual fkd and his.
problem is lap time to short and some poor driving by people deliberty holding you up .
1 final unless refereed all your hard work in qualifiying gone out the window by poor driving or a unforseen car problem no points .

old format i feel shows the true all round driver of the front against the clock, of the back the racer !! so is this not like a 3 legged final only the qual list has been taken from the week before?
and you get 3 chances.
The driving standard issue i feel is due to a very competitive club and a lack of rules set in stone with penaltys issued, what seems to happen some wait some bugger off at every given chance they can either a crash or rope jumping, would we all enjoy and do less moaning if the club was to be more forceful.
next thing who's going to want to refree all night
