Teams Ref Calls vs SSCAR Series (Read 1,020 times)

[nakifans]

Reading the threads on how the refs calls have ruined the Palmy results todate, pehaps they need to look closely at the SSCAR and Elf series in super saloons and see how they are run and why they have more appeal than SNZ titles for the class.I know the teams are not a SNZ title but run with their officals.
I know there will be the not comparing apples with apples, eg contact, teams racing etc.
These series are run by their rules and officals and have lifted the bar to a higher but fairer level and competitors and spectators alike prefer this series to SNZ title events.
Perhaps all contact teams racing should be run under a similar banner and then every one will know what the playing field is.
Talk to Grant Flynn the organiser of the SSCAR series or any of the drivers and crew at Palmy tonight as the road show is in town.

Pretty much all of the Teams races (certainly the Teams meetings) are adjudicated by the same senior referee and already ARE run under the same rules, the Teams Racing Code of Ethics (the consistency you're talking about). On speaking to a couple of people this morning I don't think the ref's are totally to blame in this instance, and that 1/ the rules may need a wee look at and 2/ the drivers need to adjust better to the new tougher policy as well. Other than that, I don't think you can really compare SSCAR and Superstock Teams Racing, at all..............

Let's do it on the terracotta,

I don't agree with the drivers needing to adjust to the harder rules. The problem last night was that in one race cars would get away with it but then in another race a car would get penalized for their first infringement. I agree if you break the rule take them off as cars have broken rules stayed on and taken other cars out or slowed then down affecting the outcome only to be penalized after the race but too late for the team who may have won if they had been removed when they broke the rules. What we are saying is it needs to be consistent on all races and it wasn't. I also noted this one tire on the pole line rule you can't hit is a out for cars. Wait for the last second. Just as your about to be hit from a car at full pace who can't stop put a wheel over the pole line and... way to race using the rule book rather than actually racing them.
