Hi all,

 

First of all, sorry it wasn't as good as I'd hoped, format just didn't work amazingly well and the starts were, well, rubbish. Thanks for sticking with it and I hope you all do next week. Teething troubles I think they call it! lol. Well done to Indecisivemac for being the first 'Lucky #7', Drumbstick for top scoring and Matthew for winning the final!

PS - For next week I'll probably run 2 heats at 2 tracks (totaling 4 heats each) with the final being on one of them picked y the Lucky #7. I will run rough grades from tonights points. All race winners will be instantly upgraded (unless s/s) to keep things even. Any other suggestions are welcomed :thumbup:

 

PPS - my rational for not running a GN was that if we had to split into two heats, we'd have taken double the time to run the heats..... obviously that wasn't the case this week.

I think the only problem last night was the closed grid, especially with Birmingham being such a small track.

 

Grades are a must - I had some bad starts (ended up half a lap down on 21st place twice) and as such started the final 8th on the grid so didn't really have to overtake many cars to win. In fact I think everyone in front of me except PaulP had crashed within 3 laps!

 

Don't want to sound cocky but there's not much point having stars/superstars starting so far forward.

It was fun and will be even better next week with rough grades as the closed grids are a bit too difficult to do, especially with a change in track each time.

 

I am still getting used to watching my speed and the instruction of the steward at the same time as rolling in a controlled fashion, I find it miles more difficult than in Heat. We'll get there though.

 

2+2 heats also would be excellent.

 

Cheers

Yeah I think thats definately the way to go, the amount of cars is excellent, just accidents tend to unfold when everyone is so bunched up all the time, OK for a one off (like the supreme final, thought that went well) but not on regular occasions. Maybe keep the closed grid highest scorers at the back for the final only?

The difference in the supreme final was everyone seemed more experienced and didnt go 'hell for leather' on the 1st lap like was happening on Sunday. But closed grids was a silly idea from the outset for me, but it was only reallythe 1st lap that caused most problems. Once we go graded again, things will be great. The rollers cud do with sorting a bit better, thats a more difficult one to solve. I think because everyone is 'anomynous' in their real-life skins the hits are coming in more often now, which is all part of the fun of this new series too
