just seen the results on face book.!
what a great turn out 15 Bantam, who was missing
Colin edd/me Malcolm, andy molden is he racing this year. ?
was Rex entered.
if every one turned up that would be 21 ? I think and there seems to be a few more still building my ed is one of these.!
More concerning looking from the outside in/is was the number of DNF'S, and unless your in the !work's team" - I think it may be helpfull if we had champions looking after new riders, help and assistance in the paddock, if they are still breaking down then we can take the sensorsed out of the champions,! anyway, food for thought, I remeber when I first started there was a wealth of help and support in the paddock with some comming to look, and not having to walk round to find someone, I think it should be a lottery system, each one of the front ! reliable riders, runners should be looking after a new guy carmly taking through the important things to remeber like ? well I dont know, but Iknow there are a lot of things that should be done before you get there, this is especially correct for the new starters,
the paddock can be a lonly and frustrating place especially when your having relaibility issues.
im assuming everyone knows what a champion is for instance Tom Miller is a champion for Ian and a few others Rob Im sure is one for Michael especially in the Paddock and when he first started.
I noticed there were 10 DNF's 75 % of the grid broke down across the 2 races, this is not a good advert for any class for others to come and join in the fun ! missery more like, anyway this is simply too high a number for any class to survive long term with good numbers, something needs to be done to assist those who are clearly not doing something correctly. i can not see how many are 175 and how many 125 broke down ? this would be interesting to see?
So lets look at "why failures occure".
1) bad luck.!
2) engine problem.
3) frame problems.
4) run out of fuel.
5) some one elses fault.
6) Gearbox issues.
7) over tuned/fatigued.
poor prep.
9) in-experience.
10) lack of suitable knowledge.
11) fell off
12) taken out
13) simply not enough time to get ready, properly.
14) not concentrating
15) some one disturbing you during prep making you forget what your doing ? (putting the plug cap on/taking the rage out the carb/fitting the drive chain, fitting the float bowl drain prug etc etc.
16) some iddiot taking you grass tracking ! perhaps!
