but if they had cancelled it on Thursday and then it turned out the weather was fine on Saturday there would be just as much complaining

if the gates opened later there would just be people waiting outside so might as well open the gates and let them in
you dont HAVE to arrive at gate opening time

yes I think the words in the preview are wrong
Should be
Saturday - Shoot Out and wcqr
Sunday - Shoot Out
0 -
the f2s have said that their shoot out round wont be re scheduled and that other shale meetings will get extra shoot out points instead
seems too complicated to me i would just say everyone scores nothing and leave it at that
as for f1 unless they go back to a monday night meeting like in the old days then there are only 2 free sundays before the shoot out final
changing dates at fairly short notice is bound to have an effect on cars and spectators

I could understand the thinking behind capping F1 numbers for the July weekend because that's mainly a saloon and F2 meeting
but this is an f1 weekend so F1 should get top priority
surprised if they get 60 anyway

there's only 3 meetings in the whole of September
I agree the weekend just gone should have been empty
looks like most fans and drivers needed a weekend off after the world final
I know I did

great that the social side is being looked at but think this might be a step too far
is anything planned for the evening when the racing has finished?
keep it as a Saturday night meeting and finish the racing by 10 and have a live band in the bar would be my suggestion

the 2.30 start is to make it really inconvenient for people who have a long journey especially if they need to check into a hotel before getting to the track
5.30 starts on saturdays are bad enough but 2.30 is just taking the biscuit
probably still be light by the gn so not even racing under lights which always looks better
almost like they are trying to put people off going

reading back through the post the price is what people are commenting onThe reason a lot of people camp is so you can have a drink. You can't do that if you have to drive to your digs so the price is not necessarily the main consideration.
although if your in the bar all night drinking then another tenner for a taxi back to a hotel isnt that big a deal I wouldny think especially if theres a few of you

For me personally, that's for the best. It's been quite some time now since I've had people complaining to me about something that somebody else has posted on here, or being unpleasant about me and the other admins because their account has been terminated, or telling me that they're going to come and find me at a meeting and smash my head in with a hammer.I think what this forum has lacked in the last year or 2 is controversy
It's a fine line between an interesting theoretical discussion and a heated argument. As you said in your post, far too many people want to be offended or angry.What is missing is posters that challange the brain cells in disscusion
I think what's actually happened is that we got rid of all the problem members that either deliberately stirred it up for the fun of it, or were too thick to realise just how rude they were. The ones that are left are (usually!) pretty well behaved and can put their point across in a civilised way and don't need moderating.Moderating on here overt the years has got very tight
It used to be a lot looser, and it didn't work. Many threads descended into petty arguments, it showed Stoxnet and the sport itself in a bad light, and quite frankly it was an embarrassment to be associated with it.
I think Stoxnet has been much better the last few years
I didn't bother with it much when it was arguments all the time

should be a good weekend, no support formula in my view, just triple headliners :-)
well said
0 -
I think it's really 2 formula with a couple of heritage car demos in the middle
should be good
I like the minis and the bangers as well as F1 and F2
but not all the same day it's too much

as in Colin Nairn?
