This kind of promotion may work for the non-racing users, but for the racing community it just makes it look amateurish. You really need to get someone on board with a wide experience of racing before you start trying to run race events.

I think I have to step in here and say that I think your being completly out of order.
How would you treat a newbie who does not know "racing terms"? Most racers know what Matt means, what I think he was doing is explaining the format as asked. 4 heats, 4 finals.
Matt has gone into the Moto-arena and organised this event having only been there a short period of time. It's not going to perfect from day one, but he is speaking to racers with years of experiance to try and get it right.
A few friends and myself discussed the option of running off road events at the moto arena with him and he is trying to acommodate us. When was the last time you raced on a tarmac track, with jumps, indoors?
This could end up being a really good venue for a mid week race meeting on a tuesday night. They may then hold the odd occassional sunday meeting.
Maybe instead of attacking Matt, you should be encouraging/helping him to get this right, unless of course you have another place to race on a Tuesday night?
