Default Winter Warmer series Championship Tables

In another thread on this forum we promised that we would have the updated Winter Warmer series Championship Tables available at the next round of the series, Round 3, due to be run this forthcoming Sunday 05 December.

In view of the current weather conditions and the potential effect that it may have on this event we have updated the tables and a link is available on the Home page of the clubs website, here:

It is! If you'd taken the time to notice only 12 drivers have done both rounds in 2WD so it's not unreasonable that you are 9th overall. This will almost certainly change as the rounds progress and more drivers participate in more rounds.....that's how it works!

And just to re-iterate, in public seeing as you mentioned it, you were not 'robbed' you were penalised for persistent bad driving that could be considered cheating in some Referees or Race Directors eyes!

I wouldn't worry too much. It would take some very special driving to make it to Charle's standard .

Perhaps if it was that undrivable Charles, you should have pulled off and retired, rather than been a hazard? Odd who it pulled to the left on the raceway, yet drove pretty straight down the straight huh?

Anyway, 'nuff said. Please don't do it next time, and no laps will be docked in future.

Matt, please don't worry! We tolerate all levels of driving, from beginner to multiple Euro and British champion and Worlds finalists!

We just don't tolerate unsportsmanlike conduct

the abuse charles gets is kind of provoked and 9 times out of 10 deserved (sorry charles) but apart from his recent penalty (as mentioned above) is always given and recieved in good gest.

hope to see you track side soon

Cheers niggs

Think you've hit the nail on the head really, just need to get myself to the next ww in jan and actually have a race and see how it goes

Absolutely agree, each time either spectating or the time when up there for a work party, all the guys were v friendly.

So Tom, it's official, gonna be a big brave boy and will take part in the jan ww, regardless of whether I manage to get trackside before it takes place, prob stick with the Short course class first tho....that seems to be the most forgiving class for me at the mo

thats the best way to go as its just for fun really. everyone is really helpful down the track (usually). the only ones who take the truck class seriosly is matt, brookie and sometimes me but that depends on how im doing.
