Don't forget online booking in closes at midnight tomorrow :D:D

Whats the process if you miss the deadline to book in?
Are you unable to attend the meeting?

is there a non regional heat :confused:
paul

Pay on the day. I'm sure there will be room. Especially for a superstar like you saying as you were The F5 Champion at Tally...

Is anyone heading to Batley from / via Sheffield? It'd save my dad having to spend a night in student accommodation!

Practice is down to the race directors decision, as practice will be in heat order and heats will be done wed.

You can still book in on the day :thumbsup:

Peter

Yes there will be non regional racers at the event, either in a seperate heat or mixed in the heats, they will have there own final though. If you wish to book in as non regional book in online with all your details and send me an email or pm to let me know your wanting to be in the non regional heat.

Peter

Wot about a 4wd heat??? Any chance of that?

Just a thought

I'd presume you will be classed in the non regional heat.

Mint Idea chris.

If there's enough 4wd for a seperate heat, then I don't see why not although this will have to be decided on the day with the race directors input.

If you want to run a 4wd at the event pm me so we can have an idea on numbers.

Peter

would I be right in assuming no one in 2wd regional heat can go in a 4wd non-reg heat in addition?

I would have to double check, but I think that's correct.

Peter

Surely it would be ok if everyone ran a 4wd :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I think the question always raised is, does the increased track time, by running in two heats, amount to an unfair advantage?

Yep so if everyone runs in a 2wd heat & a 4wd heat then no advantage gained.. :woot:

There is no argument It's allowed.

People have previously been allowed to run a truck class and double up their track time.

An extra 4wd heat has previously not been allowed on grass tracks where it rips the track up faster or when the 4wd regional has been run the next day.

In this instance there is no reason not to run one.

Their is no unfair advantage to running 4wd or not as Bately is a permanent track

Plus it will be more money for the club. Everyones a winner.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:.

I can see no reason why a non regional heat can not be run as long as there are enough entrants to cover marshalling.

Practice will be open/free (NOT in heat order) as soon as the track is ready and you have booked in.

Stephen

wow, great idea, not sure the organisers are going to be too happy running 5 x 2wd and 5 x 4wd heats to fit everyone in .......:thumbsup: :woot:

Well it's upto them but I'm all for it and I'm sure the extra entry fees would be good for the club. :thumbsup:

you're right jeff :thumbsup: all good, might even take my 4wd down - but I wish I had a pound for every complaint I've listened to about this over the last 20 years :bored:

Peter

If You wish to run in the non regional class (e.g. 4wd) please PM me so we have an idea of numbers. (the actual booking in will be done on the morning)

Cheers

What time does the meeting start on Sunday?

Cheers.

it all kicks off at 08:30 i think.

yup - the earliest time for driver activity is 8:30am for the first practice session.

Peter I think you are supposed to classify the heats in F rating order So F2 drivers aren't struggling to pass F5 drivers every 2 laps.

:)

Definatley, especially7 the 1st regional of the season??

it is done by f grade although it has been pointed out that 2 peoples f grades were incorrect on the list I had.

The whole idea behind running practice in heat order is that there's a few quick drivers who don't go to every regional this means there only an f5 thus ending up in a low heat, if there's anyone in practice who is significantly faster than everyone else they can then be reseeded into a different heat.

Peter

Good answer.

Wish i was there for the 1st speach!!

Where are all of the regulars gone?

There must be 20 people missing that would normally race at Batley.
Wish i could make it there.:(

Not really a good idea though as people always push harder, try different racing lines and generally mess about in practise not to mention the people who dont use a bug.

I could crash every lap of practise and then when the first heat starts be alot quicker each lap.

Peoples correct F ratings are displayed on the BRCA north east website.

:thumbsup:

so do we book in or just send a steve a pm letting him know we want to be in the non regional class then sort it out on the day

paul

inform steve if you want to be in the non regional heat so he has an idea on numbers.

Peter
