I think your efforts really showed and payed off Stuart.
Heat list in advance, drivers correctly ordered according to F-grade - booking in and practice was a breeze as a result.
I think its also very worthy to mention that the Barrow guys volunteer marshalled the duration of the practice session... which is a nice touch and was very much appreciated.
Another real positive... Burger van and ladies/gents toilets onsite.
PA system was loud and clear.
With regards rostrum.... it was solid and sturdy and the fence made a good guard rail.... I'd much prefer to stand on something like that than a bit of wobbly old scaffold.
I think its also worth noting that Barrow and South Lakes guys account for a decent portion of NW BRCA members and contestants of the regional series. The regional series is run for BRCA members by local BRCA affiliated clubs. Talk of running only permanent tracks and/or only astro sounds nice but it just wouldn't be representative of our region and its racers.
Was there room for improvement... of course. However if the weather had been more favourable then I think there would of been much better feedback.
What would I be critical of... cars starting pretty much on top of the loop becuase of no clearly defined start line, however plenty of well experienced drivers in attendance who should of known how to line up thier cars properly
