I know, bad timing. Not sure what can be done though. I am torn between good old sky plus and leaving a bit early

[Matt-h]

Well, i am up for recording the match, as long as there is a strict rule about not talking about results/the match at the track

Ditto

[RobW]

Sorry but Jack and I will be heading off at 2.30 - chances to watch England beat Germany in the world cup with your son don't come around that often. Recording it won't be the same as the mood in the house when I get home will tell me the result.

So will people carry on through this time rather than having a lunch break like last time?

Key thing for everyone is to be efficient at marshalling etc. I.e. not heading back to your pit area when you're due to marshal, we'll be expecting cars to be left at race control after your race.

Also means I'll be closing booking in bang on time. For those that are late I can fit people in, but I would prefer for people to be on time and ready.

I would not want the day cut short for people who want to run all day as that was the purpose of the meeting but.. if it looks like half the field are going to leave early then I would have though (dependent on numbers) we could still get 4 qualifiers and 3 finals all done by 2.00pm? We manage 6 rounds by 12.30 on a normal meet.

Difficult because I know many people will only travel any distance for a full day's racing.

We will come either way

Exactly my thoughts too and I'll be there till the end of course for the racers.

I don't want a meeting rushed through etc.

[dibble34]

Given the choice i would be happy to finish around 2:30, but will stay to the end and record it if i have to. same goes for F1 results, don't want to know about that either!

I would rather stay all day and race RC cars than watch 22 overpaid twats run around a field for an hour and a half chasing a ball.

They don't give a toss if you watch them or not, they still get paid.

Anyway, that's what skyplus/vcrs were invented for surely.

Li, you have your point and alot of over paid people kicking around a football engages over 25 million viewers from the uk, so thats a fair reason to listen to peoples views sunday morning and gain a concensus. I will go with the majority.
I prefer F1 tbh and this has its issues but we have 2 GB`s leading the championship , Sky plus is always handy.

I have loads of food for BBQ boys.

Takes all sorts – some people rush home or record pictures of 22 or so over paid F1 drivers (I’ll be polite) racing round a track for an hour and a half. Doubt they really care if you watch and guess they still get paid.

I have little interest in domestic football but the world cup is one of the few times where much of the country comes together. Families, friends and work colleagues get together to cheer their country on – when else do we see this? I don’t think a bit of patriotism once every 4 years is too much but then again maybe that is not pc anymore……

Don’t have skyplus or vcr – I’ll watch it if I can but there is nothing on there that I could be bothered to record.

[Crazy L]

Lets just race goddammit

[AmiSMB]

I will be up for 4wd and 2wd as long as there is enough numbers to not be silly for marshalling. Looking forward to it.
