I like the idea of the club with the largest points score  , but why at the last meeting, why not the whole chapionship?

I am going on Wednesday the 17th to help lay, or just lay, the track. As far as I know, there is no off road track at the moment as it was lifted for the motox. Should be fairly similar to before, unless I can get more pipe to the track to increase the overall length and pop a few more bends in. But that requires time - something I am drastically short of. (That's a cry for help if anyone can?)
To help with gearing etc - the straight will be the same length.
Why the last round.
I didn't want to offer a prize to something that may already have been decided or biased (Without going through all the numbers, I knew it would be close, but I couldn't be sure who'd get it)
But the main thing was to try and entice the MERCC drivers to come en-mass and take advantage of the locality and they aren't club racing that week so if they come along in numbers, they could steal it.

Just for a paper exercise it might be nice to total it up over the series of 6 meetings taking perhaps the top 4 or 5 from each club, to avoid the one off attendances supporting their club event.
Can you confirm if there will be a couple of hand out transponders available like last time?

Another fast 4WD - bugger! I didn't count on that!

Personal preference aside, the more the merrier
That would be good - to see the overall number on the club champs. I agree with taking the top contributions from each club. I'll do that when I get back after the meeting and see what pops up and post it.
By the way, officially, I am still MORErc, so that's the wooden spoon sorted.

Transponder wise - should be, but it'll get in touch with the big man in charge (Mr Bellinger) and see if he can put one aside for you.
I am really looking forward to it. Really hoping the MERCC guys pop there names down and a some of our Coastal cousins do too. Anything like the numbers we got in round 2, would wrap the season up beautifully. FINGERS CROSSED!
