Mav Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 My heat results were better than expected (apart from my third heat!) as I couldn't settle on a setup that was consistent enough to be able to do competitive lap times. So having scraped into the A Final, and starting pole yellow I feared the worst. Starting pole yellow meant I was the worst yellow driver on the grid from the heats. I took a gamble and loaded a totally different setup, changed all four corners and a gear ratio and went onto track untested. As with so many pole yellow drivers, I was able to get in front and avoid the haggling behind. The setup seemed to be working. Was happy to sit behind HGR all the way to the flag if necessary, but he started making mistakes and slowing us up. I went past and couldn't believe I was leading another final, could this be the one? Two laps later Lloydy caught up and I dropped to second. Race then nearly ended as Shay recovered from a spin right in front of us and we went all over the place. After recovering, still in second, TomD loomed large in my mirrors and by now my back end was starting to come out further. Fearing I would get spun, I let Tom go and followed but could see Liam in my mirror. I started to panic and the last lap was driven the worst by me, but I managed to cross the line in 3rd. Happy with that but disappointed it was just the one race not the whole evening and the GN saw me go backwards after pole man DBecks got away. The points system seems odd to me that DanW can win 3 races, go into the final as top scorer, yet me least point scorer heading into the final, then manages to finish the final on the podium, and after adding GN results I am then top point scorer in the yellow grade by just under double the next yellow grade driver! It seems a lot of emphasis on one race in the evening? No wonder the drivers growl after this race when it goes wrong for them Well Done Lloydy and Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final is the most important race of the meeting it should(as it is now) have the biggest haul of points available or else whats the point of having a final. Just race 4 heats and a grand national would be ridiculous.The heats are qualifiers for the final. "It seems a lot of emphasis on one race" that is why it is called the final because it is the most important race. With that mentality whats the point of having a world final to create a world champion just give it to the person who has the most points from the qualifiers because someone might win it who has less points.

Mav Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Its not a criticism Stumpy, just an observation based on the points I scored last night, compared to others in my grade. My aim is to finish in the top ten in any race I take part in. Therefore to me, its irrelevant what race it is, I am joining in to enjoy the racing and do the best I can. I make no special effort, like putting on brand new tyres for the final, Its just another race to enjoy and take part in. I don't pump myself up just because it a final, yet drivers seem more annoyed if things go wrong in a final than a heat, is this because there are more points on offer, as points are some drivers priority? Maybe they do believe the final is everything, especially those that are chasing the points titles. 50 points is a lot to catch up. However, last night I had one good race out of five and I ended up with 40 points for it, just because it was the final. My good race could have easily been the GN or Heat 3. DanW had three good races and one bad one and ended up with almost half the points I did. I scored more points in one race than DanW did winning three heats. This to me also gives a false impression of my capabilities if you look at the national points - I am not a 35 point a meeting driver, I have just been fortunate in finals!

Danny17 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Well done Llyody on the Final an Tom on topping the points. Thanks Admins for meeting. As to the points thing yes I had 3 very lucky heats but it took its toll on me as this track always does. The Final I was going well an my luck ran out went for the pass under Spike an it didn't go to plan. Same in the GN. At the end of the day I took home 30 points. That is 30 more than I expected to get. 50 40 30 ect I think is a good thing. It is making for some fast hard racing an if a yellow can finish the Final in the top 3/4 then they deserve the points. You're Final win will Come This year Mav an if it doesn't ill run round Tesco's Starker's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
