Maybe get the heat listing sorted sat aft (if not before?? as im sure you must have a good idea on numbers maybe thurs/fri?) and publish it on here so people already know when they are on for practice... Im more than happy for you to send me the listing roger, i can then add it up on here.. typed or a pdf or something..?? Is it possible to email the heat listing to me?
Doing this, people will know when they are on and help race control get on with running practice then straight into heats without being mythered.
When the doors open and PA on, get people to register they are at the venue for the day.. So in theory heat 1,2,3 will make a point of registering when they get there ready for practice..
Hopefully if people do this, long before Heat 12 or 13 is finished we will find out who hasnt turned up.. so then reserves can be added and get in a practice before Rd1 Heat 1 starts...
Cheers
