Weekly report this week seen 17 on track again I think split into 4 heats, buggies getting the extra round despite me setting the wrong run order. Finals compressed to 2 buggy and 1 TC after a retirement during quali. Nice to see a new face on the track with Shawn joining in for a run around in the final after a couple of practise laps between heats. And I guess summer is finally over confirmed by the fact Mel has returned from his annual 6 month summer holiday!
Can’t comment on the grip levels having had a nightmare night myself with broken driveshaft, broken tyres and just generally broken car not completing a single race!
Hope the rest of you had more fun.
And unfortunately a bit of a whine again, marshalling was poor again, many heats starting before the marshals had bothered to get into place. Also clear up is becoming a bit off a routine with the same people in the store week after week who are getting fed up with it. I know threres only room for 4-5 in the store but it’s the same 4-5 all the time and since they’re complaining to me, I’m complaining to the rest of you. Can we please have some different people in the store.
I’m open to suggestions how to police this and while I know some genuinely have reason not to be - Ray is far too old, Mel has a dodgy back, Adam is too small, Hindson isn’t, Paul temporarily as he did have a bit of his bit removed but most of you have no excuse. So……..I’m thinking the last 4-5 to arrive and miss setup go into the store for clear up.
I know some genuinely can’t get there early but I suspect many who don’t can. Either way it seems fair that those who do the least in setup do the most in clearup?
Also it may encourage some to get there earlier J
Open for discussion………………or suggestions.
