Are you threatening to attend a club meet?? Or you going to jump the fence??

The tracks loads better in the dry plus I prefer a bit more of a run on the fingers so then it's a double but as the track was it was hard to launch over it

I enjoyed it though nice one for helping set up and pack away many don't


Buds

[stegger]

Many thanks to all the Bury crew, shame about the weather :thumbsup: The vote to see if we would carry on racing was like the old kids TV show "RUNAROUND" :lol::lol::lol:

[MRD]

I chickened out of coming when I saw the weather reports :bored:. Did you get a full days racing in or cut it short?

Just qualifying no finals it was getting really wet out there shame you seen your arse mark!!
It was good to have a decent level of racers at the track to see what lines they took but watching Colin"the thug"may didn't make it easier as his lines where where ever his tyres touched was good enough for him

[johnnygibbon]

4 rounds
kinda enjoed it . glad i blutaced it up . thrashing through the rain was interesting .
cheers to rog and all who helped out .
lovin the b44 as well

[Chris B]

Was a good day overall. I chickened out after my 2wd stopped working but still good up to then. Luckily I've managed to save the motor and it's running again now. Hope everyone else with car woes is as lucky as me

[budfish]

Looks like buds is number 1 driver for burys team b44.1 after today :thumbsup:

[andys]

Loved the new track - hated the rain !

Also, very expensive day, 1 lrp speedo died :(

I knew I was pushing my luck towards the end of the day, the standing water was more appropriate for an rc boat, not a car !

[Chris B]

Looks like buds is number 1 driver for burys team b44.1 after today :thumbsup:

I like how you put the point 1 on cos if it was just team b44 then it would be led by me and jonny lol

Your cars are old and insignificant crap so there fore don't count
Are you really that stupid ?

[Chris B]

Your cars are old and insignificant crap so there fore don't count
Are you really that stupid ?

But in ours hands they are apparently faster and most reliable than yours lol

[budfish]

But in ours hands they are apparently faster and most reliable than yours lol

I find it funny that you only have one eye like a great big penis:thumbsup:

[Chris B]

Any chance of the results being posted somewhere?

[mattb]

Looks like buds is number 1 driver for burys team b44.1 after today :thumbsup:haha i dident finish 1 heat today lol,i think i was in 37th position in qualifying:blush: lol this b44.1 is getting of to a very shaky start!!

[AndyG]

Quote of the day (during drivers briefing) .... "you will have no problem with water here, the track drains well. We do not get puddles".

Lolz

No track would have coped with today's rain by the way!

Thanks to Bury for battling through the conditions.

[TonyM]

Many thanks to the Bury gang. The track was really super and I don't know of many, if any, other tracks that would have stood up to so much rain for so long.

I’d love to have a crack at it in the dry.

[Si Coe]

I was really shocked by the puddles today. We have only had one or two meetings it hasn't rained since we got the new track (I reckon the new orange hose is cursed - it doesn't rain till it comes out!) but thats the first time its had significant standing water.
Glad I wasn't racing really, though I'm still in trouble with the wife just for coming by.....

[mattb]

si rob mills blew 2 speedos today :thumbdown:

[Si Coe]

He told me he killed the one I sold him. And considering I couldn't kill it thats some feat....

I expect JE will be doing good business in SXX's tomorrow.

[coleman758]

I left my buggy at home today! I dropped by for an hour or so at lunch.
i took quite a few pictures but my camera has died. I will upload them in the morning.

I think i'm going to have to invest in a tent, and may i add quote of the day!!

"You can see who the good guys are! they have tents and generators!"

Rob also looked as thou he was enjoying a mud bath in his tent:lol:

yeah i was piting in that same tent lol

[Darren Wales]

For my first real run out at Bury, i really enjoyed it. :thumbsup:
Already quite a few comments on this thread from visitors keen to try it out in drier conditions, just goes to show what a class act of a track and surface it really is. I'm sure your presence at any club meet will be welcomed with the same hospitality as yesterday, so few excuses!

The track layout was just right for all classes too. Great work on that front Stu and helpers.

Thanks to Mark and Scott for the gazebo shelter. Thanks also to Alistar and JohnnyGibbon for their help with my Bmax. The help and support you get from your other competitors is not matched in any other sport.

p.s anyone wanting a rocket boost for that straight, let me know ;)

Can't we have it as a HTM file Eric? Then we can use our Phones to read it.

[bigred5765]

when u unpack it it is in htm form

[footey]

carl can you post a link to the unzipped file so we all can see them please ;)

[captainlip]

What the hell happened to Josh? :D

[Whiskers]

What the hell happened to Josh? :D

I just didn't have a good day with my turnbuckles popping off :thumbdown:

[Si Coe]

Unlike you he didn't run off after round 2.
Except you didn't run off, you were still there when I arrived end of round 3 - but you didn't bother to turn out to marshal the heat after yours because you hadn't raced.

Ha ha that makes you "a busted lip"

[captainlip]

May have only done two heats but had enough of the rain, been there since 7am, when I left I was 22nd overall and slipped a few places looking at the result. Considering my 1st heat I hadnt even seen the layout of the track haha!

Really gutted wanted a dry day. tbh glad I packed up as rain didn't stop, thought id leave all the boffins swearing and cursing of marshals and each other on the rostrum to it.

Not to mention some utter tw@ of a driver taking me out at full belt on the final table top in desperation to take the win off me.

[bigred5765]

Carl can you post a link to the unzipped file so we all can see them please ;)

you have to down load the file then open it in winrar click unpack and it will ask u to save it some were on your PC just select desktop or were ever u like then go to that unpacked file and select open in and use the web browser u always use i use INTERNET explorer converted em to acrobat hope that helps

[AndyG]

how are the formula boundaries calculated at the end of the series?

[Evo_Snr]

how are the formula boundaries calculated at the end of the series?
Once the “F1’s” and “F2’s gained from national are removed it is the 20% of those who have done enough scoring rounds receive “F2” The next 30% = “F3” The next 20% = “F4” & the last 30% =”F5”

[AndyG]

Nice one, thanks.

So we only consider those people who have completed enough rounds (4).

[Evo_Snr]

Nice one, thanks.

Not necessary , someone may have a higher score by doing only three rounds than someone who has done four rounds.

[AndyG]

Sorry ... On your previous post you said 'those who have done enough scoring rounds' ... So presumed that a minimum number of rounds must have been attended to be included ithe final standings for f grades.

Personally, I welcome the inclusion of loads of people who have just done one round :thumbsup:

[bigred5765]

one round wont get you nowt, what Eric is trying to explain is they only count a maximum of 4 rounds, and the lower scoring people will need 4 rounds, some of the better drivers may only do 3 but get 100 points from each giving them 300 points but us mere mortals scoring 4 x 60 points will end up at 240 points hence Eric's statement, but the guy with 4 x 80 points will beet the 300 buy getting 320 doesn't that make sense

[AndyG]

No I understand that fine. Understand it is best 4 from 6.

But the f grades are worked out on %'s of the final standings table, so my question is - what is the minimum number of rounds somebody has to complete to be included in the final standings? .... 1, 2, 3?

To get a higher "F" you need to count your best 4 rounds. If someone has a higher score with 3 rounds than someone with 4 they usually only get an "F4" or "F5" grade.

The person with the higher score and only 3 rounds usually get an F4 or F5?

[Northy]

OK, here's the process, Eric's right though:

1. Take out F1's.

2. Take out National F2's.

3. Count how many have done 4 rounds.

4. Work out 20% of the above number - that's the number of F2's (excluding FR1's and Nat F2's as above).

5. Work out 30% of the number you got in 3 - that's the number of F3's.

6. Work out 30% of the number you got in 3 - that's the number of F4's.

7. The rest, even those that have done 1 round, get F5.

BUT - you can only drop one grade a year, so if you were F2 this year, but ended up in the F4 bracket of the results, you'd be F3 next year.

Make sense? :D

[johnnygibbon]

So even though I only done this bury round
And hopefully the next nw regional
I will manage to retain my hard won f5 status from last year ?
Hope so f1 is a long way away

[AndyG]

3. Count how many have done 4 rounds.



That's the missing info, thanks - you have to have done 4 rounds minimum to be included in the final calculations.

Of course, in addition, all people with single rounds get F5.

Thanks

Andy
