Hi Andy, I'm sure you wont have upset anyone with your very valid comments.
I for one race on a Wednesday night purely for fun, and am very happy to help anyone out who needs it because they are new racers (we were all new once and I am still grateful to the guys who helped me)
Please don't be afraid to ask anyone there for advice, or to ask to stop the countdown if you're not quite ready. We can always put a little longer gap between heats if needed.
Our club is changing for the better with all you new guys coming and we want you to have a good time when you're there :-)
Finally, try not to be "intimidated" by us so called experienced racers if you're in a fast heat, it's our job to get safely past you:-)
As regards practice nights, I love the idea and am behind it 100% but I'm a carer for my disabled partner so doubtful I would be able to make another night in the week, so Gareth is the man to keep talking to about that.
Cheers, John
