Default Pre-booking for club racing

Right guys last week we had 18 people doing off-road. We only have space allocation for 20 in off-road so if you are going to race make sure you pre-book as we are now getting close to having a cut-off level.

For more info on pre-booking follow the link above.

Why have we only got limited numbers allowed for a classsurely the more the better and no this isnt just another moan it does not make sense to me to turn people away if a class is popular...

I know there can only be a maximum of 6 heats on a Friday to ensure 4 rounds of racing. So max of 60 drivers.

Obviously if there is a continued high volumes of off road drivers and people are being turned down and the on road classes are lacking then the situation would probably be looked at and changed.

Rob - how many are we getting in touring nowadays and what are the current rules re combining touring classes? Last week I think we could have combined the touring heats into 1 group of < 10 cars? Obviously we had spare time (no packing away) so we could afford to run 2 touring heats last week.

Pat - I think we have allowed an allocation of 20 off-road, 20 M-chassis and 20 touring per club night. More than 6 heats means 3 rounds of racing which nobody wants to see. Obviously without pre-booking we never know how many of each class we're going to get until the night. If everyone pre-booked we would know that we had spare spaces in off-road before the night, so we could simply allocate them according to demand as you suggest.

Either way, it doesn't take much effort to pre-book so let's JFDI.

We have always split the touring cars up because of the speed and ability differences. Basically the new guys feel really intimidated if they end up with the faster drivers which is understandable.

Minis we always stick together as they are smaller and the speed differences are not that great.

6 heats is maximum we can have to run four rounds with five minute races and give us plenty of time to pack away.

obviously if we had 30 drivers turn up for off-road and only five heats we could cater for it providing we start on time.

20-20-20 is fairest way of splitting up three class groups.

I take it that everybody who has replied to this thread has internet access and can pre-book

I agree with that suggestion.

At one point last friday there was me, Dave and Ash setting up, along with a couple other (can't remember who). I remember looking back at the pit area and it was like we had an audience.

Although we can't make people help out with the track, it is a bit annoying that it is the same people week in week out who help out and the same people who sit on their arses doing nothing, despite arriving at 6-6:30.

If you don't want to help with the track, at least bring cakes/beer with you to share

Gaffa tape should suffice, although Wes J can provide you with a proper plastic one for a small price
