mark.anson Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 However....... as John notes you have now won two awards one for Beginner Class and One for Novice Class ................. were there 3 or more drivers in your Novice and Beginners Classes ? or were you the only one Youve only put that trophy in your Avatar to make me feel good havent you Andy. Mark ( a real novice) Quote
adhawkins Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Sorry Mark I guess you were just unlucky this year in that there was another Beginner in a similar class to you... Your time will come I'm sure Andy Quote
Lurksalot Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 If it were a game of golf some might use the term 'RINGER' That is of course the polite term Quote
adhawkins Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 You're accusing me of being a ringer? You've obviously never seen me drive Seriously, if a ringer is someone who's 4 seconds off the pace, then there's something wrong... Andy Quote
Lurksalot Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Andy are you 4 seconds off the best time in your class ? kev Quote
adhawkins Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 In WSCC Class F, yes I was (at Anglesey). Andy Quote
Lurksalot Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Andy F. Road-going Westfield kit cars with motorcycle engines over 1150cc and Modified Road-going Westfield kit cars with car-derived engines over 1800cc. I thought you were a novice, so are you not in class A or B. Road-going Westfield kit cars over 1800cc. (Novice Drivers) Quote
adhawkins Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 A novice is someone that hasn't had a class win (or class award, depending on the rules you read) in the last 3 years. Just cos there's no 'novice' section in class F (although there is an award for highest finishing novice in the class), doesn't mean I'm not a novice... Andy Quote
Lurksalot Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 why are you not in class B is what I don't understand ? kev Quote
Blatman Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 why are you not in class B is what I don't understand ? kev Class B (and A, C and D) are for cars on list 1A tyres and full screens. Andy runs aeros and 1B's.. Quote
Lurksalot Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 So if I've got this right because the car doesn't fit the novice spec for groups A or B .He remains a novice in a different group that he has little chance of winning and will therefore remain a novice until he shows the ability to beat ,what may be very experienced drivers. Poor lad Quote

Poor lad Dont feel sorry for him he not the only one. Like Blatters says its the list 1B tyres and Aero that makes the difference. Quote

adhawkins Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Blimey, if it's generating this much discussion, perhaps I should change my avatar? Andy Quote
Blatman Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 perhaps I should change my avatar? Yes please. If you're going to wave your willy, wave a big one Quote
