A probable no to mixed heats for me.

Seems to be an obsession to run as many rounds as possible without regard to addressing the Leisure aspect but rather looking to an ever increasing hectic schedule as an objective, this is supposed to be enjoyable hobby where some kind of social interaction adds another dimension as against trying to emulate a chaotic sweat shop mentality.

The club may become a victim of its own success with continual badgering to increase membership to cover costs then expecting to get that proverbial quart into a pint pot, this strategy may well alienate some members especially those wishing to enjoy the night rather than be obsessed with productivity.

The not so serious bit

Restricting membership and enforcing a qualifying time will eliminate those problematic slow racers thus allowing time for 10 rounds, & time between heats for chip butties, those eliminated during qualifying can then be used to marshall,

solved!!


Back to the serious bit

Alternate marshalling - it seems a struggle now to get the marshalls out and well placed on the track with a system everyone understands never mind introducing a seemingly more complicated alternative, while everyone would like a longer night with more rounds there needs to be a balance between what may be theoretically possible and what may be more comfortably achievable.

With the track being close to the The podium it's often difficult to see past other drivers as everyone leans out to gain a view of their car.
The design with the straight being up against the wall prevents any marshalls taking up position over the full length of the hall meaning a 20yard dash at times to marshall, it would be advantageous to reasses this aspect of the design (Track design & Build = Very Good Effort & Execution Bravo GuyZ).
Right lets get charging for next week!!
