Yes very good day. Not sure i agree with the fun class idea, was miles off the 4wd's and couldnt get a clean run to keep with the top 2wd'er
Excellent all the same

I was the 4WD in your heat, Pink/Blue Durango.

I know what you mean. Only martin could keep up with my pace in our heat.
really i should have been in the "A" i think. The 4WD is generally alot faster.

Yeah, i was a few seconds off 14 laps, just behind you 2, 4 seconds more and i would have been in the A. Picking off back markers isnt as easy as i remember

Haha! I know, give them there due, they do "Try" to let you go. but end up taking you out at the same time!

Yeah, its not easy. I dont say 'lapping' so what can i expect!

[captainlip]

yep I know that one I struggled today running the two classes had a good laugh tho doing the same amount of laps with my truck as I did with 4wd I was way of the pace with the old zx5 picked it up in the final but to be let down by young marshalls. but as they say you should not crash in the first place

Yea the marshals In the "B" heats were pretty poor, but saying that the average age was 6!! I hit a cone when I did the doubles. The marshal stood the cone up before the car!

Some sort of Marshall buddy would be good. There is nothing wrong with young marshals as long as they know what too do.

[birdy]

Matt give me a good few more meetings and I should get better, still trying to drive like a 8th scale.

Had top day with the Bury members, see you next weekend.

I think that would be a good idea I was in third place on the first lap I got clipped on the end of the four fingers and the young lad did not even attempt to get the car I was almost lapped before someone eventually turned it over like you say I have nothing against young marshalls but they need to be able to marshall and not just stand there not knowing what to do

[minty]

thanks for a good days racing peeps. didnt do as well as i would have liked but a fun day all in all

[super__dan]

Also thanks for a good day from me. Bury track has lots of potential, hope nationals consideration in future years!

What I've suggested, but have yet to properly implement, is a 'chief marshal' for each heat. That would be one of our more experienced drivers assigned to the heat to direct new/young marshals, clear the track of random children that aren't marshalling and therefore shouldn't be there, spot who didn't turn up to marshal on time and act as a sort of race steward in the event of deliberately dubious driving (Bains you know what I'm talking about!). It should also allow the computer to be set to auto as Rog wouldn't need to stay at race control with some else monitoring the track. If we can acquire a cheap radio mic the chief marshal could even use the PA.
Problem is it means those folks doing it will have to marshal their regular heat, and also the 'chief marshal' heat, which is asking a bit much.

[coleman758]

It could do with something

Just so they know what to do. Half of the time the kid are more up for marshaling than driving
