Some more quick thoughts on this, I know the booking list will change a bit but the numbers should not change too much(sample taken at 11:30). At present tonight’s booking list looks like this SS 5 Reds 10 Blues 11 Yellow 3 White 4 The total number of drivers who have raced this year by grade is SS 6 Red 15 + 2 banned Blue 19 Yellow 13 White 24 That means the eligible number of drivers as a percentage booked in tonight is SS 83% Red 66% Blues 57% Yellow 23% White 16% I think these numbers show us two things 1.) As mentioned above we don't have enough yellow graded drivers because we struggle to downgrade people. 2.) We need to find a way to encourage lower grade drivers to race. I am not sure how we tackle point 1 but encouraging more lower grade drivers is something we need and always try to do but it appears we have not been overly successful. Few ideas I had, and I would be interested in comments especially from the lower grade drivers A.) Have a W&Y race before every meeting and do a monthly championship. This would not replace the yearly championship as one round would be designated for that each month. B.) If we were getting enough W&Y the race above could be run as heat 1, giving lower graders more of a chance to qualify for the final. C.) Have a set-up posted the week before from a red or SS. This would not have to be the fastest but stable an competitive

I am happy to have an open discussion about this, I have attached the final page of the grading spreadsheet to the grade changes thread. If you would like to suggest some things that should have been different and some different rules around it. One thing I will say is we probably won't make radical changes to the rules in season, but we can improve things for next season. One thing I did think was we could have a mid season grading change based on this theory although the number of meetings would have to be decided.

These grades take effect from the Buxton meeting 03/06/13 Congratulations to those going up and commiserations to those going down. As noted in the other thread we have an issue with the grading at the moment where we have to many higher grade drivers. I have included a snapshot of the final grading spreadsheet with the changes and reason people have gone up/down/not moved so people can see some of the problems we face/ UP SS 305 Red 43 246 846 Blue 981 Down Red 31 Blue 17 212 Yellow 589 330 221 White 21

As an admin team we agree with you spike, and its the reason the new grades are not out yet. We have been exploring all the options to try and even things out a bit but there seems to be no straightforward answer. We have a couple of real issues, but the main problem seems to be a number of drivers racing all the time from the lower grades going up and then not doing 50% of the meetings so we cannot downgrade them. Now I am not saying people shouldn't pick and choose the meeting they want to do but it does make the gradings look a bit one sided, especially at championship meeting. Anyway grades should be up in a bit

Bump No drivers that ask for a late booking will be allowed in the championship race so get booked in now!

This Monday sees the third championship in as many weeks up for grabs, and with what looks like the strongest field in many years(new British champion Leighton is the final qualifier), and the random grid sure to spice things up its looking like a cracker. We are asking the drivers qualified to book in as early as possible or to let us know if you cannot race, so the reserves can get as much notice as possible. Remember a full meeting will follow the championship race, so get booked in now for what promises to be a fast and furious evening.

Well done to Leighton, good to see a new name on the trophy I think I must be getting soft in my old age. last night could be my last serious chance at the British and although a bit frustrated with the final, overall I think the racing was really good most people behaved themselves and it is lunch time on Tuesday and I have received no complaints yet so life is good

There is a naming clash with one of the versions. Not sure which one, but the track does have some odd quirks that's for sure.
