I do and I don't, if you see what I mean. Run as a class within something else until you can get enough to form your own grid. In the end, this is a commercial operation presumably intending to either make profit or a spot of advertising and is using free labour and paying spectators to do it. Much as I like Chevrons (both the car and the company) and I hope this goes well for them, I can't apply a different criteria than I would for anything else. There is no place for 6 car grids in motor racing.

...except for rallycross which can be exciting even with a 1 car grid. (I knew even while I was typing it that there was going to be an exception!)

I think it was also the length that was the issue with the Chevrons. A 6 car 15minute race would have been bearable, but two 40minute races?! I think the problem was that with no other longer races they couldnt put them on a grid with something else. But I hope it works out, cool little cars werent they

Good job well done guys much appreciated.

A 40 minute race for 6 Chevrons or was it two 40 minute races, absolutely barmy at an Historic meeting. How to drive away what spectators we have, I wanted to watch our next race but couldnt hang on best part of an hour watching that! I hope our races were more entertaining and sorry if i was a bit grumpy after not being allowed to do some running repairs on track on me car (gotta try hav'nt you lol) after the throttle linkage came undone its I was so gutted as I reckon I could have got my best ever finish since I started circuit racing.

Thanks Al.

I was the Post Chief on Becketts Out, just opposite where you pulled off and was intrigued to see you walking back to the car at the end of the race with a large stick! I thought I was about to witness a live action Basil Fawlty moment!

Now you know you can race that high up the field, the best ever finish may be just around the corner.

Ha ha I bet that had you worried, no it was a convienent bonnet prop that and a lump of wire I found on the floor and we were away! I am looking forward to the Snetterton round, I may take the IROC to the next round at Brands as its better around the tighter tracks.

[Dave Weston]

I was wondering which way you wwerre going to offer to insert it into the marshal that told you that you couldn't do the repair and rejoin!

Good luck for Snetterton

[Al Weyman]

Ha ha lol!
