Terry Everall Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The cars are NEVER in any order at Aintree and you just park on the right hand side before the building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Aintree is because they dropped the 3 sisters on the Sunday but I have had words about that.Also heard mutterings that it's cos the target times are hard. This didn't stop me entering earlier in year as nice to do one local to me. Was entered this weekend but unfortunately had to cancel.

John Williams (Panda) - Joint Manchester AO Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 panda is on board!!! hoping for a PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 We had a great time, except that Pickmaster had serious mechanical problem, and Gary had a gremlin. But a little birdy tells me that all will be revealed in a blog shortly. In the absence of Tel's Tales, we may have Sally's Scribbles. Gary and I couldn't understand why his class F target was easier than my class D target, however. Gary's target in class F was 46.13, mine in class D was 45.35!! Is there a mistake somewhere? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Stephen ....there is no mistake with the times Class D was a record set last year by John Hoyle Class F had a record of 46.85 but this was more than 2% from the average calculated time for F so it was made more difficult and reduced to 46.13secs. Remember individual tracks can throw up an anomaly but the targets are either records or calculated/checked on average times for all events on this years calendar Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was calculated and Ive been twice in good weather and got nowhere near it. I might die trying though - hopefully not literally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 John Snetterton Class C calculated target time is 95.23 secs and you have come close with a best of 95.85secs so only 0.62 off the time!!!!!!!! If you want to see some times that are hard to get close to try Class D or G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Williams (Panda) - Joint Manchester AO Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Had a brilliant day, I had 3 objectives.... finish 4th get, a personal best and cross the line above 100mph got 4th, broke my pb 3 times, didn't manage the 100! My only niggle was the points didn't reflect the good day I had. So my learning point is keep spreadsheets of times, and this shows my happy day and the sunburnt nose if anyone wants a copy of the spreadsheet its here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 46.51 is the record set by John Loudon and the Class A target you have is 2% easier As we all improve and go quicker due to tyres, power, experience the target do get harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Well done John. But understand your frustration with points exactly. TT decreased by near 3secs BUT No-one in A has ever acheived it. We improve but points decrease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
