What was a waste of time were letters pages, tv guides, previews. All took two pages and no one bloody read them! In fact I wrote quite a few letters myself! lol

It isn't very editorial, hard to read and looks crap, but it is fairly important.
Yep, looks like it was hard work, nowadays MST, etc could just upload all their pdf results to a central club motorsport database at Autosport/MNews or whatever where they could be accessed from say Monday morning. All this info is out there already, but scattered around various timing and club websites, but easy to centralise, you would think.
