Yes the track was tricky to get right for 5 minutes, but the concept of the layout was very good and had real potential, my main points would be.
  1. Marshalling points not well thought out as there were not 10 car heats and you had 2 people covering nearly half the track to the right
  2. the section coming onto the straight wasn't quite a cars width
  3. When asking for nails to peg some of the astro down, it was met with some resistance
I was one of the first to criticise the 2wd meeting, but was pleasantly suprised yesterday, and is a vast improvment over the grass track.

Please don't take this as a dig as it's not intended that way.
All duely noted Brian. The marshal point positions were indeed planned for 9 car heats (10th was a bit of a left over). I moved the points to what I thought covered the track best with just 7 drivers per heat but yes, the track was a bit too big to be covered by 7 points alone.

I'm not sure which part your refering to with the width, please let me know exactly. I went around the track with a tape measure to make sure it was all between 2.5 and 3.25m at the narrowest points ... I think I must be misunderstanding what you mean.

There should have been a bucket of pegs in the caravan that could have been used ... I will speak to Ray about that.

Not taken as a dig in any way, all very constructive mate .... the more we understand the better!
