Your on Tom's list. It might be a typo in your email addy.
I will pm you with the address that Tom sent it to, rather than posting it on here.

Not a myth when regarding some tracks.............

millzy 02-12-2008 12:01 PM

The tally track was build last year, just lifted up off the ground thats all :):)

even bambi has enemys so im really not botherd if people dont like the track long as you have fun on the day and leave me alone once racing has started.

oh and dont start on the double it was shit - end off, and it got borke at the 8th nat so dont worry that fookers gone. and so did the carpet section- that was gay going the other way over.

Danny McGee 02-12-2008 03:41 PM

Maybe i shouldnt have said anything. But im fed up of going to track that i know im not going to enjoy. Why waste the money! Its nothing personal to all involved i understand you put in a hell of a lot of work and you cant keep everyone happy. But i know im not the only one that says the same thing every year.

I could probably name 10 tracks that have had nationals some are included in this year selection, but there are several that are not and im sure they still have the facilities maybe its just the other stuff thats involved that stops them from asking for a national.

Like i said before i am allowed an opinion, i will probably attend all the events this year but only because of commitments etc, not becasue i know im going to enjoy myself. Just have to make sure the bar is WELL stocked this year :)

p.s i also understand we have to have new tracks added to our events as thats the only way that things will get better, but they should have to prove themselves against more proven places before being used.

just make sure you have finished cutting the grass before you start drinking mate :woot:

haha, wondered if someone would mention that. I just hope the clubs realise the grass NEEDS TO BE SHORT.......... otherwise the racing is pointless!

If you need to ask is that short enough then the answer is probably "NO, half that and then we'll be ok."

:D

Clubs also note a moaning bastard books in to all nationals :):):)

could we not just post all the moaning from last years thread about the tracks and save alot of reading and posting ?

Chrislong 02-12-2008 04:11 PM

That track was okay, but only for having short grass thanks to Danny.

I hope the members preparing the track for 2009 remember it - and cut it SHORT!!!!

Lee 02-12-2008 04:15 PM

and maybe some consistant jumps :confused:

Why? If we can't speak out, then the critisms don't get heard and the club repeats the stuff. Speaking out gives them chance to listen. Listening is good, showing they are listening is even better.

Don't be so negative, turn these points into positives by reacting to them. :thumbsup:

but its the same crap chris from the same people

ive said in my post that yeah some things at tally where shit, and id like to think the track will be better, and i do look at the negatives as positives to spur me on and make it better in 09

and yes vocing your opinion dose get the clubs listinig

this one is listining...not that im any thing to do with tally, i just make the track and read what you gu say online

Chrislong 02-12-2008 04:33 PM

Im sure all realise that those who struggled to see/judge parts of the track, that the distance was due to the amount of rain in the week before and the ground in front of the rostrum was unsuitable as it was boggy and holding water.... it was one of those things. For me that was unfortunate, out of the clubs control, and along with the lottery of landing the jumps made for a difficult track.... perhaps those jumps would have been easier if it wasn't for the approach being hard to see/judge. But the club did make the best from the situation that week.

The distance was not the best, and it would have been nice to keep things closer with out the huge no mans land but we had to do what we did, fingers crossed for next time with the weather.

I know the jumps where gay on the landing (the double now yeah?) Personally I liked the table tops we had and id likes to have two more for next year instead of the double in the middle- first ive heard on the approch being hard to see? there was a jump further away in the left hand side are you on about this one? , all the jumps where at angle so you could see the up and down ramps.

GRIFF55 02-12-2008 05:03 PM

Having Tally track using more of the natural banking would be cool, but i guess that would become a marshalling hazzard?

DCM 02-12-2008 05:13 PM

I was there putting the track out, and lets just say, some features were 'changed' by the likes of PW, and not for the better I think.

In the end, the weather had been so bad that week, you were lucky to get a track at all, but I think that the guys doing the track will know, and being Chris's dad is right in the middle of the people doing the event, things WILL get done.
