Agree, another thing that acounts for say a minute of the lost 4 minutes is reading out the car number and class designation before the run. If all drivers were given a card numbered 1-10 in pre-stage and the class number, driver were then given to the timer before going upto the line the starter wo...

330 runs divided by 130 competitors equals an average of 2.5 runs for the week or one run every 2 days That's a little misleading. We didn't start racing until mid/late Tuesday afternoon. That means we only raced for about 2.75 days. Furthermore there were quite a number of people - particularly bi...

I believe that conscription of “All” members for a few hours in the week is the best option to address volunteer shortage. There are about 1000 members or so and at a guess say half were at speed week (say 500) if EVERY member had to put in 2 hours over the week that is 1000 volunteer hours over the...

I must say that we are maybe knocking David’s ideas based just on first impressions. Agree the thought of coming upon a spun out vehicle at 200mph + on the salt and trying to do something about it is a scary thought.....but. Our racing is really not that different to other forms of motor sport when ...
