Hello All,

 

First of all, can I say a huge thank you to Kev for sorting the servers tonight.

 

Secondly, can I thank each and everyone of you for racing. Apart from tonights GN's, and a few no shows in the previous meeting, it was great to see everyone stick around.

 

Onto the meeting, and tonight it was dominated by Ironmac #288, who got plenty of those valuable World Championship Qualifying Points. I will update those in a matter of moments after posting this. He also went onto win the Grand National, although he did not take the handicap.

Finally, I want to make a couple of points about tonights meeting.

 

First off.... an apology. I am sorry the meeting ran a little longer than planned. Imade a mistake with the grand final, and then also I should have had 2 servers ready for the GN's. That was my fault, and will be noted for thenext double header in order to keep time going.

 

Secondly.... and I am afraid this is a little rant. I wish people would tell me if they are leaving the meeting. I fully appreciate that the meeting went on longer than I it was intended too, Ilike to be finished by 10:30, and it was 10:50, but I think it is only fair for you to put in chat that you are leaving the meeting. This would have directly impacted on how I would have run the Grand Nationals, as I would have ran one, but as far as I was concerned, when I called the first Grand National, no one had told me they were leaving. Imade the mistake of assuming Tosh had left earlier on in the season, and was not going to make that call again. As it turns out I made that wrong call. So, I apologise to all of you that stayed for the Grand Nationals.

 

HOWEVER...... TONIGHT HAS BEEN A POSITIVE FOR UK DIRT F1'S

 

It has been not only great to see an imporvement in the number of drivers, but also the fact that we are attracting different drivers. It is absolutely fabulous to see, and I do hope that you will be back for more. It is also good to see that there were not too many complaints tonight in the server. There is no doubt that these are the 2 hardest tracks, in the calendar. One has a sharp breaking points, and one is so tight it is very hard to pass. But, there was not too many complaints, so that was really good!!

 

NEXT WEEK

 

Its the small matter of our first visit to COVENTRY, for a World Championship Qualifying Round, and another round of the National Series. It is destined to be an epic night, and I do hope that you will join us.

 

THANKS ONCE AGAIN TO EVERYONE THAT RACED TONIGHT, AND I DO HOPE YOU WILL BE BACK FOR MORE EITHER NEXT WEEK, OR IN THE FUTURE!

 

Cheers

 

Johno

I apologise Dave - if you shouted up I must have missed it. Had I have realised, you could ahve slotted into either. Sorry sir.

Top job Johno and Kev, well run as ever thanks.

 

It was tricky keeping out of trouble last night and not always achieved, but I didn't imagine I could possibly end up with a 2nd in a heat even with the advantage of starting from white on a narrow track, so I was very pleased with that. Unlike most races, the chequered flag actually came up sooner than I expected which gave me a right shock when I realised I was just behind winner Johno.

 

I had some good races with Harold as usual, sorry you spun out when I was passing you in the GN m8, I was maybe in too much of a hurry to get past.

 

Nice to have sneaked into the top 36 for the WC. Can I stay there?!?
