Ha,
yeah was a bit of an 'epic fail' on the startline by myself!

One, Q with regard to the shootout points, is it 4 rounds to count or 3? I thought it was 4, but the last column on the right now says best 3? If its 3 some of the addition needs to be re-done I think...

[Dudders]

I'll check the text on it later.

You need to enter 3 rounds to 'qualify' for the final shootout. Best 4 rounds to count. If scores level it will go down to the next highest scores to see who is higher. HTH?.

[Dr_UpGrade]

No worries, thats what I thought initally, I just wanted to check whether it had changed or not...

[Dudders]

It's getting a bit tight and competitive on the old score chart. Looks like your in with a shout

[Dr_UpGrade]

hee... (thats why I'm keeping an eye on it!)- I could just scrape 10th unless some more fast folk turn up for the remaining rounds!

[maseace]

He he I was lokking at that a couple of good meeting with the cougar and fingers crossed the top ten I think it will be hard but what a good race to be in

[Dudders]

Generally towards the end of a series the latter rounds are less well attended so you can pick up places as people think they are 'safe'. Although I'm not sure this will count for the Shootout this year.

[Dr_UpGrade]

And we've still got to 'deal' with a certain Neil Dudman who may well think he's got a shot at the top ten too... All he's got to do is get off the mike and get racing!

Wrong thread Mikey but thank you, appreicated. Need to sort that 2 legged TORCH vs SHRCCC dates

[Dudders]

Attentions turning now to the next round of the Summer Shootout. Will you be able to gain those extra's points needed to get you in the top 10 for the BIG MONEY final in August???

[Dudders]

Meet with Drew and Iain C today at the track to have a play with a petrol whacker unit. Although the ground is soft this thing didnt work so we gave up after 2 minutes!.

BUT we did find a suitable 'manual' tool to smooth any ruts out and boy, its worked a treat. Only did about 10 mins each before we left and it really did work well.

No deep ruts or divots on the hair pins, so all good. Track is growing nicely and should be hot for Tuesday

[Dr_UpGrade]

Sounds brill Dude!

LOL about the petrol whacker not working...

Looking forward to tues... I've read the losi manual and made a few set up changes that 'should' help....

[Dudders]

With the ground so soft and peaty we thought it might work.... NOOOOOOOOT!

[Dudders]

[Dudders]

Just been for a quick mow and boy the rain from last week has help, lots of lush green stuff to play on!. Going to be collecting my super techie divot tool tomorrow AM too!

[vassallo]

Dudders,

So if I understand this correctly. I only need to run in 3 rounds to qualify for the final shootout - But you add up your best 4 scores ?

So if I got say 80 points from 3, I could be against someone with 110 points from 4.

If you only compete in 3 rounds to qualify for the shootout I would assume you have no chance of making the top ten if others have done 4 or more ??

Please clarify- Muchos Gracias
