There are only a few that are there all the time and a minor few that unless a major problem make the top heat every week the way it works i feel is ok, sometimes if you are missing one week or had a bad week Alan if a space is avaliable will bump you into the heat you should be in.
The club is not run for just the big fish as the club is only a small pond  for some getting in the top 5 is like winning overall and are chuffed. do not take that away from them.
So for me the previous weeks outcome should mean that the next week these people are good enough for there respective heat, yes!
Stu have you been missed place in the wrong heat, i have not
the only person that was out of the top heat was Ed but he had a crap week so was in the heat he qualified for now this week he is back in the top heat.
I am on holiday soon so will miss a week and understand that i will NOT BE IN THE TOP HEAT. THATS LIFE
maybe if we concentrate on better driving standards and eticate we all from the top to bottom will enjoy what we all go for RACING. |
fist thing first have a good holiday neil.
no i have never been missed placed in the wrong heat with the current system as you said neil the majorty are in the correct heat so a grading system will only improve the club as it will not effect regular racers it will mean if you do go on holiday or miss a week for any reason you will still be racing the drivers you should be racing with. and also you will encourage even more drivers to come and race as they will not feel they will be graded in the wrong heat.
I had a coversation with a old racing friend of mine and he said he would never race at forcc as he could only make it 1 week in 3 and he felt he would be graded wrong with current system which is a shame.
I appretiate what you say about qualifying in the top five but surly having a good race with an equal driver will out weigh that every time, i have many conversations over the years with you ed and numorouse euro and world class drivers and the answer is the same every time and that is it doesnt matter how good you are if its a close race thats all that matters.
and you cannot do this if the drivers are not equal.
