Racing Sunday 29th November 2009

[SteveB]

Hi

I missed a todays racing and the promises of having a high turn out of numbers!!! Can our commited winter racers post to confirm there entry for the 29th.

Also can we have some comments regarding the starting process that we were using over the last 2 weeks and advise what the majority prefer.

Starting process options.

1) 1st round staggered, followed by final start process round 2 onwards, based on last result. No Finals.

2) All qualifying heats staggered on 1 - 10 round one start, round 2 based on overall standings. With finals at end.

3) 1st qualifying heat staggered 1-10, 2nd round qualifying based on rotation start eg 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1,2,3, 3rd round 6,7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5 etc

4) Any other posted options

Remember we governed by the timing loop location?

Any other suggestions with regards to solving this issue would be appreciated.

Option 2 for me please

2nd vote for option 2

Appologies if this is one of the above, but once we had
1st round qualifying
2nd -5th rounds grid races with grid set by qualifying or race finish
6th race a final using the fasted times set in any round

To be honest the though of 5 staggered qualifying sessions does not appeal

What do you think?

[mikeyscott]

Don't think that is possible on the software. I would have to look into it.

The bonus about staggered starts is less breakages.

For me racing for a grid position and then having one grid final appeals more. Otherwise it devalues the end of day finals. That's my opinion.

[dibble34]

True, for me it just seems that 5 of the 6 races won't mean as much as they did. If it can't be done i think i have to vote 1. Also can we not move the loop further down the straight?

Looking a little too wet for me i am afraid. I have not seen the track so don't assume i am correct, but suspect it is a no go today. There is more rain coming too

[criscrum]

looks like another rain stops play for me to , and more rain on the way, not good.

[mikeyscott]

Heading up now. Got some visitors coming

A big thank you to Dave and Nathan coming down today, we didn't race, but met some great guys. In my eyes a very productive day, in certain aspects more than if we had raced.

Look forward to racing when the weather is in our favour.

Big well done to Steve and Julian for getting the drainage ditch sorted as it was blocked. We have a start finish corner draining like it should do again.
