Default appology to all drivers in my heat

I would like to say I had a great night racing last night but feel it was a little unfair to the other 5 drivers in heat 3 who unfortuantly spent all three races moving out the way for the leader. I cant see how this is fair.

I get what your saying, but would it be fair to remove someone from the top heat which they did qualify to get into, to let you back in.


Everyones had to do it Elliot Neil and myself, you were lucky sometimes it can take 2/3 weeks to get of the lowers heats.

Should be based on a 4 week average rather than a week by week basis, This way provideing that you do a decent average the placings would remain the same, Im no where near the A but find it hard that when i have to work a week i end up going backwards into the kids heat where yes i might win all 3 rounds but get my car battered in the process.

I also would like to see an outlaw on reverse there are quite simply 2 many people using it with no thought for others and with the marshalls all doing there jobs its simply not needed.

Guys

Hope you dont mind me butting in here, but I used to be involved with running a club, and as such know how how difficult it is to keep everyone happy. We found that by far the best way of organising the heats was to seed the drivers based on ability, not attendance.

Every driver benifited from this system because the driver ability in each heat was roughly the same, and as a result, nobodys racing was spoil by having to move over for faster drivers, and visa versa, or as is sometimes the case, the faster driver getting fed up with slower drivers not allowing him/her through so ending up driving through the slower cars, not good!

I know I havn't raced at Faversham, just trying to offer some friendly advise, our format worked really well and I hope this helps.

Terry

Where has our ranking system gone?
