To be honest Darren I am not sure, I stopped in the first round with a stripped servo horn, and in the secound and third, I believe I put in some good round scores.

You have kwown me for a long time Darren, to know I am not the sort of person to start or be involved in a confrentation, I have had my gripes over the years but sometimes, you just have to put it down to the rub of the green and get on with it. Which we did on sunday and thats that.

I just think soemtimes we are all too quick to post on these forums and highlight the negatives, instead of supporting the club helpers and club.

"Rubbing is Racing"

QUOTE=DMS Racing;514614]I gather by your tone Paul you had a "good" result then on Sunday!!! When I said random results, there was peopel all over the place in all postions as it ended sunday, when the points come out you will see what I mean, of course the top 10 were still great drivers, they had to be (even more so in those conditions) to get the time in on that sort of surface, but this way of deciding the results is not the same as racing it out in finals etc.

Not sure why you keep singling me out, if you actually read my posts I have agreed with and supported the club on its decision to cancel, it was the right thing to do, read the opinions of the other people, they are asking for a re-run far more than me .... It is the "racers" on this thread who would have liked it re-run, those who just want a days racing rather then three rounds of lottery (or black jack as someone else called it), I have already said I could not care less either way (I cannot make the August 21st date myself so it does not affect me), my ONLY point is, at the regional meeting (somthing you are not at) the "clubs" decide a date that in the event of a meeting being abandoned we can then run on instead, this date is put on the entry form so everyone knows what it is and can plan around it, now we actualy have a use for it, we are not using it, seems crazy and a waste of time putting in place to start with!! (as seems to be the opinion of most of the "racers" (not me) on this thread who would have preffered it re-run)

The fact the "rules" state this or that is somthing being thrown around in our region far too much at present IMHO, they are ignored when preffered and adhered to strictly at other times, there is no consistency. I will explain. Our jump "HAD" to be moved at Watford since the car went out of sight breifly and it was too big, so reluctanlty we moved it, next week at Ware we had a jump were the car went out of sight (I had no problem with this) but the jump stayed, plus a jump twice the size of our "too big" one also which stayed. Ware chose to use tyres for track markers on some corners, rules say we cannot, but they stayed, now we are told "rules" tell us a soaking wet abandoned regional cannot be re-run. This is NO dig at the clubs, particular Ware (which I thouroughly enjoyed and look forward to going back to, with or without tyres on corners and big jumps) I am just stating that we only seem to bring out the "rule" book when it suits certain people......

Not sure what the discussion between the clubs in race control had to do with youself to be honest and to get the facts in order, I was soldering in an ESC for a customer whose had blown with the wet at the time. I was then called on my mobile (from all of 20 yards away) and told Matt there and then my vote would be to abandon, so my opinion WAS voiced (with soldering iiron in one hand and phone in the other), I also suggested we fell back onto the date reserved for abandoned meetings which Matt agreed and wanted to do but was told...... you guessed it..... the rules say no.[/QUOTE]
