Sorry for the confusion over grading and abilities.
The abilities system I’ve used is for the region only, not national, and yes I suppose I should have stared at 9 or even 8 but this was just a way for me and the holding clubs to get a feel for the drivers ability, that may seem a little tough for those coming back into 1/10th off road but I’m sure you will soon find yourself in the heats you deserve to be in after this round.
Can you imagine last year when I really had no idea of anyone’s ability at the time.
So I used last year’s race data, not just the end of year grading, to give me a feel for abilities as some drives did not complete the 3 events required for grading.
Also sorry to those who feel they deserved to start in a different grid position, maybe we can sort that tomorrow, the heat listing was just showing who was in each heat, not the running order.
See you all tomorrow
Jim
