The track over all for me wasn't an issue (just sucked all day!
) it made for great watching and seeing people adapt to a huge change they are not used too.
The overall issue for me, as mentioned as the joins in the astro, caused many flips that shouldn't have happened and on one corner there was two deep cuts which caused damage to car's if hit/ran over.
Other than that, things can be altered and changed and was enjoyable having so many jumps, ramps and obstacles.
The big issue I had was marshalling.
Kids.....
As much as I think it's great to get them into the hobby, the simple fact is parents should be with them at all times (or a represented adult).
I had cases where one kid was sitting on the fence and took more time jumping down to go to my car... and then repeated over and over for others.
Another case I had my car picked up and walked off with while the race hadn't ended, even with race control telling him he still didn't drop the car.
I had numerous cases where the kids flipped my car only to flip it so hard it went back on its roof...
Then in a final MEN where screaming at a kid, because he panicked with a smashed car in his hand and he thought he was being told to give them it quick, but they where screaming "MY CAR" behind him...
I don't think that was acceptable what so ever...
Bring kids into the hobby, but have them supported in marshalling or not at all to stop these issues.
Other than that, nice day, good weather and good turnout.
Regarding time and delays etc.
Track should have been open well before 7:30 there was already a queue of people waiting to setup.
This would have massively helped starting times.
