Your ideas please

[Str8 Jacket]

Not penalising my dear, if its a timed race (20min) everyone gets the same track time even more for streetstock cause that last lap will take longer.

Sorry, wasn't talking about the tmed racing , I thnk that is a good idea! I mean street stock is often dropped or laps shortened when time is short...

[Drew]

Haven't made up my mind on this timed races lark. I'd get fewer laps but the way I rode last round that might just save me from being lapped.

I'll give two minutes away from each race happily, for a wet T-shirt comp at lunch time though. Just so it looks like I'm making some effort.

No Shane, you'd smoke me in that!

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!

Bloody hell Shaun I am impressed and never a truer word said, this is after all the 21st century. Maybe one of Ray's "nephews" could do it? No not that, I mean do roving interviews.

Fairs fair on the man, As someone who manages other riders and also have this opinion of Ray Whitham how often have you made a point of sending your riders up to the box for an interview?
The stairs work both ways Shaun.
I have been up in that position and it's not any easy task and I welcome anyone to come and tell their story. It doesn't matter how good any commentator is it's good to hear a different voice.

Timed races sound a whole heap better than a 5 lapper on the short track too.......6 whole minutes of track time seemed very skimpy last round, especially given qual was 10 min.
18 min for 3 races hardly makes F1 worth the effort IMO.......(but then I am known to be a lazy bastard)........easy to see why F2/3 are so popular aye.

I like the idea of two long races by time, or one long and one short if we're running out of time at the end of the day, gives everyone equal time on track. I also like the changing race order so everyone gets to go first, last and in between, that way we all take turns waiting to the end of the day for the final race.

Are you allowed to run reverse circuit at Manfeild?

[Drew]

Are you allowed to run reverse circuit at Manfeild?

Not anymore bro. Guy died on the start line a few years ago when the red flag rule was to come back round and grid up, couple riders hadn't seen the flag or the bikes stopped on the straight...Fuckin BANG. Hasn't been done since.

[Dogboy900]

I am also in favour of two 20 min races. I think trying to fit in 3 races for all the classes on the long track is a little unrealistic.
It is a little unfair when some classes get time cut.

Organisation and picking up of crashed bikes has been done well for the last couple of rounds so i think stick to whats working

[CHOPPA]

If I crash and have to stay on the infield and watch the next race id be happy with that, give me time to figure out the best excuse maybe let the tyre down or something.

Are you guys gonna mix around the race order like promised?

[Ronin]

Or... It could be the ripple strips

[Ivan]

Nah I was on the commitee at the time and remember manfield has now banned it

But also that was one problem with Manfield reversed is the decreasing radius corners wide entry tight exit I hated reversed circuit

Yes, even that has been tried, and Ray forgot the riders name during the Interview, as well as saying he was on a different brand bike than what he was riding.

I APOLOGISED to the SPONSORS for him

His roll is VERY Important for the riders and sponsors, and he IS NOT doing it well at all.

This is NOT just a club scene race meeting, it is part of some riders 12 months of planning, and things like miss naming brands etc does NOT help with obtaining and keeping sponsors happy

[Drew]

Aye, me and everyone I know love running Manfield backwards. I would wager a supersport bike could lap it quicker than a super bike too. Johan Brunns was talking about having done the long track backwards too, that'd be soooooo mint.

Yep, remember it well. That was a big suck day for sure.

I'm happy running my real slow times within whatever programme the club comes up with. However, it's not clear to me why can't we get a meeting running on time from the get go? When was the last time a riders breifing was held at the advertised time, and therefore we were on track at the right time? I know Rd3 ran really well and all classes got all their races in to the schedule, but.... i don't know, i've not tried to run a meeting so don't know the in's & out's.
