BRIGSPORT

they are there to make money,so to just have them out in one session,it will not earn much.

i do see your point though.

DINGY, with a line up like that i think you should charge at least Ł10 a go.
i think Ł5 was way to cheap last year,
fooking Ł5 is 25g of bacca,i would pay at least a tenner to go in any of those cars !!

LOL @ prices - not yet discussed mate...

Rules for charity cars...

They are booked in a session like everyone else due to the limited number of spaces but as people drop off during the day then they get to go out in all sessions......as and when they want to or can...

Sorry if this is not to everyones likeing but its how its run

To be totally honest you should be aware of whats coming up behind you regardless of the speed of the car your in or behind....

Hopefully it will not cause many problems

Makes a mockery out of having sessions then, especially when you have novices out there with the very fastest and most aggressive expert drivers.

Total shit mate....

Sessions at croft last year were all mixed due to only 8 novices booking on....

Its sessioned and i try and group the sessions as close to the Novice inter expert but it made no difference to anyone and the compliant is the first I have heard of it.

Personally being in expert makes you more aware and helps you find the lines much faster....

Surprised at your comment.....
