Thanks for the feedback.

The problem with the PT numbers is acknowledged. We need to make it clear at the drivers briefing that every driver is responsible for checking their PT number on the heat listing before racing starts just as in the old days (before 2.4g) we were all responsible for checking our frequencies. I’ll add this to our list of things to mention. There were a small number of mistakes made on Sunday which resulted in people losing their first round scores which was really disappointing for both us as organisers and obviously the people involved. Really like to avoid this in future.

As far as the driving/marshalling standards are concerned I did not directly see any particularly bad instances (all gentlemen in my heat) but was informed of a couple of specific issues and in one case a driver was moved to a more appropriate heat after round one. We will look to see how we can improve things in this area and I agree a reminder at drivers briefing and then, if necessary, a gentle reminder at the start of the next round of any heats/finals that have seen a bit too much “rubbing” previously can be organised. Unfortunately there is little that can be done to reverse the damage to you once you have been taken out or poorly marshalled and my personal view is that if we get to the stage of having to hand out penalties then we have lost the plot in terms of a fun club day out which was the original idea of these meetings. I would not be willing to spend my Sundays handing out penalties to my fellow racers – not my idea of fun.

Just need to try and keep the balance right between trying to let everyone have a fair days racing whilst not getting too strict.

Looking forward to the next one already – just hope I have better luck in the finals – 3 laps in total yesterday
