JCB is correct, National events are sorted on F grades, and then with in the F grades re sorted in Championship order. I did come up with an excel sheet to replicate this for the AGM but everyone was happy enough that heats should be sorted from last years championship order for round 1,i.e new drivers get tagged on to the lower heats, and from then on Championship order. Alec did indeed start last year in Heat 1 and showed how good he was by crashing in every heat
,sorry I meant he went on to qualify for the A final and I believe win the event, so if your good enough you will work your way through the traffic.
