Any thoughts on race format yet? ------------- |

| Thoughts so far are for a 20 min and a 40 min race if there are sufficient entries to split into two heats. If not probably a 30 min and 60 min race. Not sure if the track is safe to run in both directions so races they may all be run in a clockwise direction. |

Slight correction - Sam's result in the 40 minute race is correct but he actually went out in the "slow" race on Ratty, not ArowFish in the fast race as shown... He went very well too!! ------------- |

Yes indeed. I think also thanks are due to the gent (whose, name, i unfortunately failed to get) who came to unlock the site for us - or rather to get his colleague to do so, as he himself had managed to break both his arms the previous day.... He told us he'd only got out of hospital at 4 a.m - and yet he still organised someone else to come and help him open the site for us, so we could have our day of racing. That's truly admirable I think. Perhaps the Club could put in a word or two of appreciation to his bosses?

I wasn't there but I think Jeff James may have been O/P rather than O/P/U, unless the Cobra has recently undergone major surgery. Ditto for Jeff at Hillingdon, which I was at. Sorry Jeff, but U points are too valuable to fall into the wrong hands! |

| I lost a little skin on the first race, which isn't too painful now, I also appear to have lost a lap on the second race. I know Dave Goodman beat me in the sprint, but I don't think he gained a lap. Also I'm fairly sure the faster Ratracers only lapped me once. |

I can confirm tat Dave and Gerry were on the same lap in the 40 minute race... ------------- |

Hi all, I'm still on the lookout for someone to write the race report for Bath. Anyone think they can help out? ------------- When you pull the cats tail, you get the whole cat. |
