CaterBram Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 My two penith regarding the extra runs, personnally I do find benefit out of having additional runs , whether is due to lack of experieince or taking time for the brave pills to kick in. If were not careful with what's being proposed, we will only ever have two practice and two timed, as that's what the majority of venues count in the results on the day. the current regulations refer to all class runs offered at a round count for championship scoring, my two penith is we stick with what's in the championship regulations. Just like at curborough the number of runs is really determined by a finish time so is not just open ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Any other LADS or MADS fancy a run down/ over to Aintree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 With 135 entries I can't see the number of runs being a problem but we will have to see on Saturday. Anyway, moving on, Liverpool Motor Club have asked me to pass the following on to you all: "Following an enquiry regarding paddock parking from one of the L7C competitors, who is new to Aintree, we have decided to have a dedicated area for the L7C so that you can all park up together. This will be the large grass field at the top of the paddock road on the right hand side just past the event office. Access is through a double gate. We will sign with some arrows."

Alan Bowler Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Well done to Paul, with an excellent last run, and to all the other class winners. I just needed another two runs, as my strategy was for 6 Really enjoyed Aintree, well worth the trip. AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaterBram Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 A great well deserved win for Paul, as to the number of runs, well that's the way the cookie crumbles :-) Never count on getting more than 2 timed runs :-) any more is a bonus where every run counts.

Graham Howard Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Congratulations Paul, you were quick all day but were obviously the most committed on that last and only fully dry run. A good days competition in class 2. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Angel Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It was a good day Ray, despite the changeable weather, which very excitingly made each run a whole new experience from the last one. Lots of good runs notably from Paul, Steff, Richard, Nigel and Shaun. It was fab to have Martin S back in Class 4 - his was a great drive, having missed practise, and Nigel and I did have to try quite hard to keep the 'newbie' off the front row of the grid. Also congratulations to Mrs. E for picking up her first Class trophy. Lastly hope Robert and Sally got home eventually and Rob is not nursing too many bruises - at least you didn't collect as much straw as Chris Hoy.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted June 29, 2014 Support Team Share Posted June 29, 2014 It was a great day despite starting out wet and drizzly. The final runs were on a virtually dry surface but it wasn't going to be a record beating day. my 46.14s T4. Gill had a grin from ear to ear when she collected her trophy for 2nd in class 😬.

PaulCo Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Many thanks for all the kind words - competition had been incredibly close all day, so to say that I was thrilled to win would be a gross understatement! A memorable day's motorsport - thanks to those who made it so special. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
