Hey Randy..... First off, thanks for taking the time to come up here to see our operation. I didn't get the chance to meet you (I spend my time in the trailer running the timing and scoring computer)... at any rate, our track is named Mission Bay. Can't wait to see your vids of our race.

oh... forgot to mention in my last post.... Sunday's racing, which went INCREDIBLY well, was run on the same basis that we run every week... random draw #1, inverted #2, points with top 3 inverted for #3, and total points for feature....... the difference for Sunday was that there were drivers that came out and said 'put me at the back'.... hmmm...

ok, time to chime in once more... here is how the gridding works..... random draw for the first heat. if you are a rookie driver and don't want to be in the front few rows, mention it to Reggie, Peter, or myself and you will be put to the back of the pack.... second heat is a reversal of the first heat.... if you are a rookie driver and don't want to be in the front few rows, mention it to Reggie, Peter, or myself and you will be put to the back of the pack.... third heat is based on points from where you finished the first and second heats with the first 3 rows inverted....if you are a rookie driver and don't want to be in the front few rows, mention it to Reggie, Peter, or myself and you will be put to the back of the pack.... the feature is based on total points for the day... most points gets pole, second most gets outside first row, etc., etc.... if you are a rookie driver and don't want to be in the front few rows, mention it to Reggie, Peter, or myself and you will be put to the back of the pack....
(anybody else see the pattern here?... if you feel uncomfortable at or near the front of the pack for any race, be it a heat race or feature, all you need to do is speak up and you will be placed at the back of the pack)
again, just another $0.02.....

so then you are saying that it is my fault that the racing ended short because of the accidents in the first corner?.... last time I checked, the timing/scoring and race scheduling team aren't behind the wheels of the cars.... i really don't think that reversing the grid for a race is the ultimate cause of the mayhem.... just my $0.02

since i am not a driver, you guys can take my comments with a grain of salt or a pound of pepper... i get to see every start because i am in the trailer taking care of timing and scoring... (now you guys know who I am).... at any rate, i have been involved with this club for a number of years as pit crew, and in the last year or so as timing and scoring guy... one thing that I do know for a fact is that races are not WON in the first corner , but they can definitely be LOST in the first corner, as was shown this weekend.... ladies and gentlemen, at the very least there are five laps on a 2 plus kilometre track to find your groove, race your lines, and pass your buddies to get positions and points.... i love watching you guys jockey for position, and go around in circles, it is just nicer to see it all under green flag conditions, instead of having to stop the computer and wait for someone to line up whoever is left running so we can have a restart.... just my opinion...
