[RudeTony]

There is no doubt many will disagree with many others opinions and Darren has got a point about the rule for one and a rule for another or if you like when it suits here and not suit there. We had this once before recently if you all recall.
The facts are clear.
We all turned up to race and did (apart from 2 people and they are NOT the ones moaning)
We all run 3 rounds and by the BRCA rules we run by, the results stand whatever they are.
It is a BRCA sanctioned event and run under those rules so if someone does not like them then you have to come up with another idea that is better and then propose it to have the rule changed.
The point that someone else made, was about indoor racing and that his motor speedo or whatever thermalled, Another is at Ware Darren Bloomfield thermalled out because the track desired a hot motor, or this or that or whatever. You can't say AFTER the event that it wasn't fair, or should not of run it or lets have a re-run etc etc.
It was the same for everyone in horrible conditions and that is that - simples!
In wet conditions waterproof your stuff and indoors put fans in to keep things cool.
We all have to adapt to every condition thrown at us or throw 100K at an indoor event that no doubt someone will find something to moan at.
Live with it lads, it's done and dusted now but please please don't have a go at the organisers. The Silverstone crew did a great job as usual and where victims of their own success in trying to run as long as they saw possible.

AND FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT THIS MORNING I HAVE THE FOLLOWING:

Mechanic is getting too old for this shit - LOL

Mechanic needs to get hold of better velcro or glue the bloody thing - LOL

I have no idea what side of the bed the mechanic got out of bed this morning but I haven't laughed like this in a morning for years - LOL

Just a reminder me old fruit -
