Is that confirmed after any protests Barry? Was confirmed and official when I left the track at 7pm, so am unsure if there's any truth in what has been posted above? I have no idea........I guess time will tell. |

Surprised to see the 5t and 46a further down the order 5T was looking very strong, I think getting up to 2nd place in the final heat with real prospects of a podium. A very crowded turn 3 & 4 saw him spin, the reason for which went unnoticed, finding himself relegated to the rear. |

Great days racing, pity the people upstairs don't know what they are doing but the racing was great when we weren't watching cars circulate under yellow. There were some balatant bad calls in places, to the point that several of us began to suspect the ref at one end wasnt watching the same race we were!! but there were about three ref's in the centre, and a couple more up top. |

i forgot to add, i believe the officals have done well. its a tough job and you get alot of nuts while doing it, but largely they have done thier best and you cant really ask for more than that.

well if he gets on all rite with hoove ok he ll be rite .apparantly something to do with the spring on excellarator pump .dont quote me .but from another saloon comp that was there .just johny being johny .but in saying that whats the difference of tacking out the ball bearing in a rover oil pump to increase oil volume (not pressure) or changing spring in oil pump yellow to blue to increase pressure (not volume) were do you stop .

Well any of you can come upstairs and give it a go since you think its so easy... its not entirely the officials fault, the drivers should know who they are following when the yellow lights come on.... |

THAT is normally the problem the drivers DO generally know who they were following when the orange lights come on BUT they have to form up in the order of the last completed lap BEFORE the lights come on if their was several passing manoevres done just over the START/FINISH line then only the lap scorers have any idea who is supposed to be where and fired-up drivers can be very slow to realize why the official in the centre is waving and pointing at them!!! |

This may be true - but I for one am glad Ive spent a bit of time on the infield... The job I had {waving flags} is annoying and difficult enough, i nearly got run over twice during yellows... {we're trying to give you guys a good racing surface, thats why we signal to go higher and lower on the track... it gives more drive when its packed down and warm - not because we wave flags so we can tell you were you have to drive!} without having to deal with the ego's of some drivers who refuse to be were they are meant to be. As it is, when I finally get onto the track as a driver Im going to try and be as considerate as I can be. My job was easy compared to a ref's and there were points where I wondered what good I was doing... But how hard must it be for them? Constantly having to deal with complaints... Constantly having to make calls and knowing someone will be pissed off with you even when they are in the wrong... Constantly coming under fire for making human mistakes... Constantly being blamed for accidents when you are trying to obey all the rules, not just the ones you have to obey but the extra ones they have to as well.. And having to constantly cover your own arse since people are always trying to kick it and still maintain a decent level of safety for the sometimes obnoxious, annoying, bigheaded, complaining and ungrateful people who's lives are sometimes in your hands. Im glad Im not a ref. For one I'd make a hash of it anyway... Just dont know enough about it. Second - Im not prepared to face the criticism and politics they face so that others can enjoy their sport safely. |

Yea you are right in saying that the drivers can be slow to realise they are the ones being told to move, but its not that hard to think i passed this car the lap before the yellow so i am going to have to go back. Its not just the officials responsibilty but also up to the drivers to know where they are supposed to be. |

Probably the reason drivers don't want to take notice of your direction, is that if their set up to run low, they don't want to help pack a good track for someone to run high |
