Sorry I couldn't have been there all day - looks like I might have been needed!

We only had 2 heats so there was bound to be a big speed difference between cars. However that is irrelevant because we've had cars flip, spin or otherwise end up stationary on the straight ALL THE TIME. Not a meeting goes by without the odd call of 'Car on the straight!' - its quite normal. Not just a Bury either - most tracks experience this.

If you hit someone elses car ITS YOUR FAULT. It doesn't matter what they were doing - they can be swerving everywhere and its still your responsibility to avoid them. If you can't do that at full speed SLOW DOWN. Thats how it works with full sized cars - why should smaller ones be any different?

Believe me I take matters like this VERY SERIOUSLY and TBH I don't care if it was a kid or an adult that got the abuse it is still utterly unacceptable. We are a family friendly club - lots of racers bring their children to meetings even ones that don't race and thats an angle of the club I want to keep promoting.

On a slightly lighter note though from next year it will be my eldest sons car you'll be trying to avoid on the straight. Lets see how many complaints that causes - and what how often the complainers PT mysteriously 'stops counting' after that............
