Rob Navin Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 First can I start on a possitive note and say congratulations to Dave Odale and Nick Algar on taking the FTD's on Saturday and Sunday's events. What a complete demonstration of the standard of cars and drivers that our championship can boast. OK thats the nice bit... Thorsby this weekend has got to have been one of the most badly managed events that I have ever had the misfortune to attend as a driver or an official. After the last run and without notification to the rest of the field Nick Algar was moved in to my class. I protested the way that this was done as I do not think that it was done in accordance with the MSA regulations. The clerk of the course did not agree, told me that I would not have caught Nick anyway, which I know I would not have, and dismissed my protest saying that Nick was indeed the class winner. At this point I saw my and drove off in disgust. I have now found out that when the awards ceremony was called out I was given the pot for the first in class. If this is the level of profesionalism that the Nottingham Sports Car Club organises events to I am pleased to say that this is the last time that I will attend one. I would also respectfully ask the organising team to consider if the WSCC Speed series which as grown to the scale that it is needs to be associated with events that are so badly run. Sorry for the rant and I fully appriciate that you may all now want to shoot me down in flames. The one thing I would ask you to bear in mind however is that I have got event organising experience and know how they should be run. I have asked for a full investigation by Vi Selby, the secratary of the Meeting, based on this investigation I will be making an officail complaint to the MSA. I will keep you all posted as to what has happened. Quote
Mark Stanton Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Initial thoughts Rob are that - I didn't think they could amalgamate event classes once the competition had started and that includes practice You can combine classes before an event starts Sorry it soured your weekend Rob It was a good laff Keep us informed and let us know if you need owt P.S. I've saved your sticker Quote

Rob Navin Posted September 19, 2004 Author Posted September 19, 2004 Cheers Mark I will let you know what comes from it. Just to clarrify though they are stating that Nick was moved to start with as he was put in the wrong class by the entries secratary, the scruitineer did not pick up on it and it was not an amalgamation. Steve I will have calmed down by the awards do, and stop looking at my A*** Quote

westy Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Sorry for the rant and I fully appriciate that you may all now want to sgoot me down in flames. I dont know what that means but it sure sounds fun Quote
Rob Navin Posted September 19, 2004 Author Posted September 19, 2004 Scott. I have also just checked and their SR's that came with the entry for state that no compettitor will take away more than one award. By my reconing JWT should have picked up a first in class award and Dave Odale should have had the FTD, rather than FTD nad first in class. Quote
