The club supports and try's to develop the younger drivers as they are key to securing the future of the sport hobby.
the club invests a lot of time and effort bringing through new younger drivers and we allocate a separate heat for the junior junior driver who are in the main the youngest members of the club and a little less established and skill full as the junior drivers.

we feel in this way it reduces the pressure on them and they are more consistent, which in turn helps them develop and gives them a target to aim for with moving in to the more competitive junior heats,
it also allow the more established junior drivers to go at a speed where they are not restricted by slower drivers, and intern helps them to be more consistent.

Sorry for the long explanation and I hope it make's sense.

if you feel Jamie would be suited and would enjoy running in the junior junior heats we can switch heats. at the end of the day we want every participant to enjoy the events. and the fantastic sport / hobby.



Regards
Paul

Thanks Paul, I'll leave him in the juniors just now, i just wondered if you had them split by age. We don't have separate heats for juniors up here, so just racing with other folk nearer his age will probably be more enjoyable for him. Looking forward to next week, cheers.

Paul will the track be similar to the last one, with only part carpeted, or all carpets?

There will be more carpet in this round guys, it's probably nearly gonna be all carpet

[paulainscow]

Thanks. I thought that may be the case after being there the last couple Fridays

See you Sunday!

Any reason why? I think the current track style has been very good and challenging.

Have to say, not attracted to "all carpet" racing. I'd have kept running touring cars then...

[paulywally]

Don't Panic Dom

We will be running a similar set up with mixed wood floor and carpet
however we will be placing the carpet on areas of the track where cars may get stuck and additional protection / carpet around the jumps.


unfortunately the floor was damaged by drivers spinning up whilst getting stuck on the track markings during the last round and we have a possible claim against us for the damage. and we have to take smart measures to reduce the risk any further damage and a larger claim.

[Donutt]

That's good news.

Shame a few "diddies" (scottish word?) have to spoil it!

Get yer brains in gear people!

It's a great series and it's working very well, so really looking forward to more of the same this time out.

I really don't want to put a saddo jelly mould on my lovely off-road chariots....

I agree , all or nothing with the carpet . Racing on wood floor was in the 80's man .

So .... is this an opportunity for a Pre 1990 vintage class? Taking it back to the 80's!
