I have been having a chat with some other club members and it seems the new format is a good step forward.
I feel Richard has a point in the fact that a stagered start will help the first corner pile ups, let's save that for the finals!!
When I was racing TC at Maritime the cars were numbered and the timing system used to call out the leader and when the leader was coming up to lap you, this seemed to work well and gave clean racing.
Maybe a little chat at the meeting to make it clear that the first 2 rounds are qualifying and that it's not a full on final so we get cleaner driving as your racing the clock not each other.
Maybe this could work at Faversham but maybe it will confuse things? One thing we have got to remember is keeping is simple and fun for the younger members.
But last of all big thanks to all the people that help run the club and give up their time, with out them we wouldn't be racing!
