Can there be a short course truck free for all at some point over the weekend! I recon about 20 trucks on the track at once with a mass start would be awesome :D

Smartalec 28-11-2010 10:20 PM

Just a thought, presumably whoever supported this years event would have an automatic invite to next year?, if they then decline the offer then someone else would get their place. This would save all that faffing around waiting to find out if you were in or not so you could make plans in advance. Entrants from 2010 receive an email offering them the same class(es) that they were in before, they then have to reply AND pay before a given date (no exceptions).

Seems the fairest way to me to reward the people that supported from the start :thumbsup:

Seems the unfairest I think.

Some people might not have been able to make it due to other circumstances and would want to go this time and they might not be able to just because some who went last year automatically receives an invite.

Im sure that Joffrey and co will do the best by us all :)

Didn't think my idea would suit everybody, especially the people who couldn't make it because of other commitments last time. But do you think it's fair to not invite someone who DID MAKE the commitment last time? :)

Team from Belgium would like to come yes!
PLLLLEEAAAAAASE ! :wub

Seems fair to me... this is exactly as they do for the petit race.. a thank you for the support for the previous years entry.. BUT there is a dead line for this invite. Then its open to others.

Unfortunatley ive been in many situations where by i arrange events etc not just for RC, the initial interest is fantastic.. but when it comes to paying up... these people become very elusive..

Which is why i thnk Alec's idea is a fair one..

Ohh... a Short Course heat would be ace... :thumbsup:

Crap idea. I could not attend last year but would if I don't have anything on for this.
Why not just not accept from those who booked but did not turn up.

Fabs 29-11-2010 11:14 AM

Maybe cuz i you were booked in but didn't turn up, you took someone's place nd that wasn't fair either on those on the waiting list...

Hitman 29-11-2010 12:38 PM

So how do you get an invite? Is there some sort of rite of passage or initiation? ;)

c0sie 29-11-2010 12:39 PM

Geeez, this thread has only been up 24 hours and already you're all bitching between yourselves? :bored:

Why dont you just let Jimmy and the rest of the team that are organising the event work out a fair method of entry selection etc and have faith that they wont "screw you all over"?

I had an entry last year, and id LOVE to hope that ill get in this year too, but hell I certainly dont expect anything from Jimmy and co. and if I am lucky enough to get an invite then ill be as happy and grateful as a happy-grateful thing :)

/let the moaning continue.

As Nic said this is the same as the Petit, you get an automatic invite if you raced the previous year but if you're not all paid up by the deadline then your place is offered to someone else. Personally, i'd offer the other places to people who tried to enter last year but didn't get in, after that the people that want to go this time get "invited".

As i've said, i'm sure it won't please everyone, especially those who couldn't attend last year but hey, that's life ............ only a crap idea if it doesn't suit you :)

As I said, just my opinion and i'm sure Jimmy and the mob will do what's best :wub
