First Corner Pile Ups
To answer Colin, we tried staggered starts a few years back and the concessus was that they were much unloved as they took out the true spirit of racing, i.e. why bother passing someone if I can just sit behind and win.....
I think the issue is the starting grid, we had gotten much better at starting a sensible distance apart but recently it has gone back to a free for all, to solve this why don't the marshalls of each heat take responsibility for the grid, set people 1.5 metres apart or so, that should help (I think it may have been worse last week as we started on the straight in each heat, which isn't normal.
Hi Paul well the staggered starts work very well at the barley Mow as the first three heats of the night should really be about qualifying.ie lap times and the amount of laps.As to gain your final grid position
Then when it comes to the finals you all start at the same time so racing will or should begin then
saves broken wishbones at the last corner lol
