There were 8 Novices registered in 2018!

That's 1/2 those in 2017 that 'registered.'

Registrations alone do not make a Championship. They're just potential competitors. I was one but didn't compete.

Competition makes a Championship, which is why the full SS Championship is so great - always close competion till the last event.

Only one Novice registration competed for full season & Novice Championship this year.

3 Novices competed for mini Sprint Challenge.

So why didn't you compete? In order to compete you first have to register so you were half way there

My challenge is to get the road driving itches scratched then get into a more competitive Westie and get back into this fantastic sport.

& lack of Resources for a full season. Competing for a full season in 2015 was great, but dabbling into a few sprint events didn't do it for me.

Would be good to have you back

Oh..... Sometime..... I definitely will be.

Hopefully in a competitive Westie, with a driver that thinks he could be competitive but may not be

I will be registering again this year but doubt I’ll be able compete that much due family commitments and holidays coinciding with many of the events that happen to be a “doable” distance from the outer reaches of GeordieLand.

Would like to try a proper hill climb but Harewood date is out for me and the rest are just too far away. 

Fancy trying Knockhill so will make sure I do a trackday there earlier next year so I at least have a bit of practice.

Noted. 

Is there no Croft sprint btw?

[Terry Everall]

No Croft

last year was a nightmare, should never have started and was rained off due to floods on the track 

since the we have had no refund or explanation as to what happened and also I understand that there is track work being carried out which might not be finished in time for Easter

I heard it's being entirely resurfaced. They have a sprint listed on their events page though, Easter Monday.
