Hi all,

As most of you will be aware Round 4 is the one day long track. We have a few options for the race format for the day however would like to get your feedback on what you would like to see.

A wet T-shirt competition!

10 minute qualifying, a 10 lap race and a 5 lap race.

Clear skies and sun!

Personally, I'd rather have 1x practice/qualify and 2x longer races rather than 3x shorter ones.

I would like to see some one set up with a roaming Microphone, that walk around the pits, and do little LIVE interviews with riders for the Public to here.

You guys would NEED TO INSTRUCT Ray to work in with this plan, as he believes he is GOD

Ray is NO GOOD and Boring with his dribble, incorrect names and machine brands, he is DONE!

The way I see it, short races have pros and cons.

Pros:
- Exciting for the spectators
- Shorter waits between races for competitors

Cons:
- Difficult to make up for bad qualifying / race start
- Riders could potentially take more risks in such a short race
- More time spent forming up the grid etc

As a rider, I would also prefer to have longer races that test your concentration and make you ride smarter... But spectators can get bored when there isn't much passing and everyone is just waiting for the laps to tick down.

Perhaps one short and one long race is the answer? It would be interesting to see what the riders think - I must admit that 3 races in one day went incredibly smoothly at round 3 so credit to the club for making it happen.

Dont put superbikes last on the menu!!

I think 2 longer races would be good.

Do the races on a time limit though, no one want to wait 30 mins for the streetstock to do 10 laps.

Make it 2 20min races plus 1 lap that way you can plan your time better. Dont pick bikes up after every race unless someone is hurt maybe every second or third race pick up a few or pick them up if someone is unlucky enough to need an ambo.

If 3 year olds can read a board at MX to say check helmet and in our case back protector im sure we can take some responsibility and check out own bloody helmet

i like the idea of a 20 min race + 1 lap.. means I have to sit around on the outfield for 18 mins though..................

First time out on long track ever so that should be interesting.. overall I think R3 went awesome so more of the same really. 2 races on the long track would be more realistic I would think.

i know there are safety procedures and stuff. but why does the track have to be completely cleared before sending out recovery? surely bikes on the other side of the track are safe from a recovery vehicle following the field on the warm down lap?
