       Can't wait, have a side bar bet on the first response, might make a bob or two...

Should have released them 2 weeks before each event

[John Williams (Panda) - Joint Manchester AO]

We did talk about alternative methods:-

releasing them 2 weeks after - that had 1 vote
also by using a lucky octopus - that had another vote

so because of a dead lock it was decided we would release them now and then we could all go to the zoo.

 

cheers

Well I suppose someone has to make a start. How can some of those times be 3 seconds faster (eg Anglesey 2 lapper, Pembrey) than this seasons winner managed to set for his class at some events where he mostly set new class records at events? Sorry but I fail to see the logic in how they have been derived...

John I must refer you to section 2 of the recently published summary of the Rules.Its comparability with other las times at the same venues not just records

That's a reason not the rationale. Chopping 3+ seconds off target times where actual venue records were set is not a reasonable chunk to be adjusting them by IMO.

And who will change Class to target 'easier' times 

[Terry Everall]

John

Just look at the comparability with between classes at the venues and you can see the logic!

We are NOT just using records. In fact records that have stood for longer than 5 years have been made easier by1% and new events do not have a target time so there are  loads of opportunities to score well and defend your title. I wish there were some easy targets in class G but  alas thats not the case.

Don't bother taking the engine out. Just install a big battery (or possibly several) and go round using the starter motor. Treat the engine a ballast to keep the power to weight ratio down and corner weights correct.

But you cant win the overall championship in class I as it would be too easy
