Looking at this year’s meeting, I said from the start that the top eight going into night two should all be put back to zero points,marble draw straight knock out races

Given that 2 of the top 4 teams from night one either ran out of cars or drivers before their second race of the night, I'd tend to agree now. |

As much as I have enjoyed the Supersaloons in the past.
The new pole line chassis cars to me are an absolute bore.

Apologies if this is the wrong thread but why do they have a rolling start in the consolation races? Is this a Palmy thing? The cars are spread out nearly the entire track. Surely it's way better to have a standing start with first out grid one, next out grid two etc. saving time as there was a fair bit of laps done before the flagged dropped similar to the super saloons (but not as bad).

It wasn't all that long ago even championship races including teams champs teams races, were rolling starts as well |

Unfortunately the Burger Kings guys were the toilet/hotdog class.
Gone are the days when they stole the show-Mark Osborne & Steve Finn running side by side for nearly the entire feature.
I think they did more laps behind the pace ute than actually racing.
Either bring back a top field of side cars or organize a few teams to do stockcar teams racing.
*On a positive note the Moto X guys were a great addition even though it was windy-so well done on that for pre-race entertainment.

The trouble with the way it’s set up now the semifinals are the finals and the final has become a bit off a let down , not in any way taking it away from the drivers , maybe it was the ree’s incident I got the impression even though Pete overturned the decision he was not really happy about things Jason took him quietly into the fence and they parked up |

I hate them also it's superstocks not open wheelers. |

-A decent GB team that has good drivers. 2 are up to it the other 3 aren't. People moaned at me saying we need them. Do we need them if they send a team like that out? No. I want Tom harris to captain the side and decide whos in the team.

Maninstand you just don’t get it do you?,but I suppose the tread title is improvements you’d like to see, they don’t necessarily need to be achievable. Tom Harris didn’t want to come, and by November only one driver had put his hand up, so I think we were lucky, or unlucky for you we had a GB team at all |

Could do with an app or really onto it Facebook kid live tweeting relevant information. You don’t always get the full story from the commentators, points immediately and it’s hard to hear but if there was a stream of info about points, relegations, refs decisions, driver injuries and substitutions it would help out those of us who like to keep track of the points and that kind of thing.
The current Facebook page isn’t much good for race by race info

Some form of live update page somewhere that was Official aswell with all relevant info Livelaps Na na not live laps. But a social media person who can pump out results etc Any ref updates, relegations. News out of the pits. Sure we talk about it over commentry but people miss stuff or cant hear it etc Im more thinking a page or an app that is minus comments so people dont have to dredge through it all |
