Champions League Round 4 at Oxford 4/3/12

QUOTE (zendragon @ 7 Feb 2012, 02:16) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There appears to be a problem with the interpretation of the rules at the last round concerning controllers, to make it clear. the rules are no electrical aids on controllers these should be of SINGLE resistor only of any make. Zen

Does the above mean someone has put their hands up to using a dodgy controller at the last round ? I thought the matter was finished but if someone has admitted doing it then their scores should be edited from the results. Lets get this controller thing resolved, move on and enjoy the racing.

Hi John,
Was thinking of coming down tonight but the snow has changed my mind. I'm sure those roads down there are fun in the snow , maybe get down on the 21st .

Just to say well done to John for putting on a good days racing and some fantastic home made cake .
Believe the next round is at MHSC at the end of April (29th).

Yes 4 MHSC drivers in the top 4, but not home grown though, I think only young Doug comes into that catergory.

It was a good meeting and I hope the final two rounds are as enjoyable and we can get as many people as possible to both.

I agree with Marc that the Nascot round was announced several weeks ago and there were no objections at that time, it's been on my calender for some time.

Champons League

Racing Rules - mhsc Sunday 29 April 2012

The mhsc lapcounting software and system will produce a roster of all drivers attending. The race results will be the best of 5 out of 6 races by time. In the event of a race 'crash' the timing and power can be paused by a marshall calling 'straight'. The race controller should only repond to a marshall or his own view of the race issue.

1) Race restarted if half the cars or more come off on the first bend after the start line.

2) Marshalls should put cars on the track as efficiently and without prejudice. Any car causing an accident should be put on last.

3) If a marshall cannot cope with the accident the race clock and power will be cut by the marshalls calling 'straight'.

4) Drivers should only call straight when their car comes off on a straight not caused not caused by bad driving.

In the event of a dispute the resolution will be resolved by a vote amongst the club chairmen( or one race representative from each participating club) and Ken Webb having the casting vote if required.
The rules seem fine, except why does Ken have the casting vote that whould mean MHSC has two votes.
I do think we need to avoid getting hung up on this marshalling thing. The Champions League attracts drivers/marshalls of all abilities and experience, some people have done 100's of open events for others it is their first. Part of the art of driving is seeing where the inexperienced marshals are and taking it easy on that bend.
