its a good day and good fun it was £10 to enter which i thought was a bit expensive TBH "but mike gave all racers gate money back" and ezo were there giving out cool prise's
"shame dmr didn't turn up!!!!"
but... they fu**ed up the scores bigtime they ended up mixing groups thus having unfair overall results and for some reason i came forth to a guy who didn't beet me all day
tbh I'm still a bit pi**ed off but proverbially would go back next month
You really should have been ahead of me, you beat me three times! hopefully they will make the scoring a bit more fair next time round. I felt like a bit of a t**t being on the podium after only beating one person all day (and he beat me in the motos!) I gotta step my game up before next race. Hope there will be more people!
But i def did not get any money back, dont know what that was about......
That was probably a result of me pulling out of the finals, I won all my heats except for when I raced my buddy Mike Yard where I took 2nd every time. I was told twice that we were going straight to finals after the 3 motos, but then after taking second place in the "finals" we were told that it was actually a semi, and this time it would be the final. So I raced again and took second place to Mike again, then AGAIN we were told that it was actually a semi and the previous round was a quarter final. By this point I had just lost interest having raced the same 3 or 4 people quite a few times with the same results, and the dude at the start ramp didnt quite know what was happening. For some reason in the semis, there were only 3 guys in 1 round and 2 in the other, the round with 2 riders consisted of a youth and a senior!
According to the guys at sign up there were 21/22 riders in junior/senior category, 1/4 finals requires 16 riders, semi finals require 8, which are then divided into 'a' finals and 'b' finals which consist of 4 riders each. I dont quite understand where it went wrong. 20 people is a decent amount of riders for 1 category, if i remember correctly the porc nps4x round only had 20 riders in the senior category, the less people there are the more simple it is. I think the main problem was the lack of moto sheets being printed up, and running sign up til quite late.
