free entry was offered to a couple of people "on the day" just to make up the numbers last year as there were so few racing anyway.
for Neo09 Phil scheduled in a couple of heats to show an interest in a newly emerging class. but the slow takeup & the lack of any standardised rules/specs one year on still leaves electric 8th as a kind of novelty class!
such a big meeting with such a demand for entries doesn't really need another class to make up the numbers.
think of it another way..................its another 20 people racing in the main event
