Hi all, just to clarify what has prompted the change of Race format.
There are several reasons for the change in format :-
1) The AGM voted against the proposals from the committee to restrict the number of racers informing us to "Manage the situation best way we can"
2) Current numbers mean that if we start on time at 7:30 we would finish racing at best !0:40 then it takes at least 30 minutes to pack up and lock up taking us to 11:10. That's on a good night when we start on time no glitches on the computer and no problems with the track.
3) We have had occasions where insufficient people are staying behind to pack away the track and especially putting the carpet on the truck. Main reason given for not staying behind is "Its too Late".
4) We only rent the hall officially from 6:30 till 10:30.
The change in format last week did actually work because we didn't start until 7:45 because so many people came late do to traffic problems, we lost time due to computer glitches and track issues. We locked the hall up at 11:15.
If we had not used the new format we would have been there until at least 11:45.
We will endeavor to maximize Number of heats and Time racing but we have a finite Time with an unlimited number of racers.
We cannot guarantee 4 rounds at the moment.
