Count me in.

[gref]

I'll be there

Gents is the format going to be 2 min races ?? With the extra class, 3 min heats makes a long day.

[mtpanorama]

I'll be there.

The format discussion seemed to have petered out without a definite answer, I thought it was between 3 classes per day with 3 min heats or 4 classes per day with 2 min heats and seeing as we are running 4 classes.......................

I'm in

I know it was discussed somewhere, but can't find it. We talked about no mucking around - keeping to schedule and we get through heats quickly. Anyone else care to comment? Rob/Steve?

Hey Shane, did you get any good footage from Ian's?

[knoath]

I'm in too.

Does the majority think four classes at 3 mins is too much?
I thought it went quite smootly at Ian's...

that's what I thought and we will have less racers this time

[Rob]

Way I see it, 4 classes 3 Lanes 12 people with a heat time of 3 mins and a change over tiime of 3 mins. and 10 mins between breaks your looking at 4.8 hours per round if you dont stuff around further. Cut the change over to 2 mins and your down 4 hours, Cut the heats down to 2 mins and your at 3.2 hours.

If everyone can do their bit keep on top of whether their racing or marshalling and refrain from wandering off between heats it will go smoothly.

and thanks to ian for driving to the big smoke

[gref]

echo all that Nathan said, great days close racing (from second onward!)

[Ian]

Likewise, thanks Matt for another great day of fun and racing.

[knoath]

The big smoke... got that right! **cough**


Typical... Nathan's on first!
(Have a good day, did we Nathan?)

Congrats to the point scorers... (not me!), and to Matt as well for his secret efforts to get MPRII up to race ready scratch!

Scenery beckons!

Records tumbled all day and some good close racing between Nathan and Chris all arvo!... not to mention Matt and Mark... oops, just did.

Good to see Glenn getting consistantly better, and Ian proving the Ballarat Boys are a hinderance!!!
Thanks Matt!!
Enjoy the left overs!

[beastm]

Thanks Matt for another whipping. Again good company and great racing.
cheers

Thanks gents for all the positive comments on the track !

I have had doubt's that the track would provide close racing for all competitors , I am happy to be wrong. I still accept that it will also NOT be everyones favorite track.

personally I had a blast trading fastest laps (lap records) with Mark in the 60/70's lemans class , I now have some work to do to retrieve that record back ! Well done Mark .

thanks to all who raced @ MPR II for a relaxed and enjoyable day . I look forward to hosting another event sooner rather than later.

anybody up for a possible social endurance event or something else ???

On the way home I realised I forgot to get you to show me the trick with the lane power thing Matt!
