Roger,

I do get your point about the cross over, In practice I got it wrong & landed to the left of the down ramp missing a whole section of track out, but that is what the practice run is for, to find out how much power to give it on the approach to the jump. The slipery corner coming onto the crossover had no affect on the jump as you only had to roll onto the up ramp & give it a bit of throttle to clear & land on the down ramp. As I said before, I had customers at the meeting who had not raced before, we gave them advice on jumping, they took the advice, went out for there next run & hey presto, made the jump!!!

If you missed the jump & carried on cutting the track that would have been up to you. Crossovers are something differant, you cant have them at national for the reasons you pointed out, but this was not a national, it was a "fun" meeting.

I want to keep the crossover for the next meeting as per my previous post, but it will be in a differant part of the track & not just after the loop & will have a few feet more run off incase you over jump. But if more than 25% of the drivers who enter don't want it, then we may take the desision not to include it.

At the end of the day, it is all about fun & trying something differant

Marc
