But it has been an absolute hoot and has broken the day up nicely. You don't really have to mess around with them too much either. You just come back from marshalling, put it on charge and wait for the next race. There's hardly ever any borken parts to fix as they're so tough too.


BUT, I think rich is right now. If it is to be taken seriously, they need to be raced properly. Rubbing allowed but no ramming or driving into people deliberately, 5 min runs with no reversing the direction etc.
But i think the 'le mans' start that we had at worksop was a good idea. Possibly at larger meetings this could be incorporated for the A-final.

more than than 5min is good
