6 foot & 12 1/2 stone. Kit weighs a bit though.

Could bring an extra rib protector if anyone wants to borrow it. I used to hate the RibTek ones hire places usually hand out

Well thats me done as I am 6ft and 16 stone plus last time I checked but it gives me a 911 style weight balance so tail happy I think is the best way to put it.

Surely that will keep you PLANTED in the coners - get the power on early.

Power on with my lardy frame I never have the power off all I do is adjust the slip angle and throttle balance !!! brakes are used only for the pits, last time I did an enduro at sandown 2 years ago my tyres overheated !!!

Thankfully for me its not about the winning but the taking part and going sideways at every given oppourtunity !!!

No problem with me.

Rob - was thinking - where is the encentive to not have a slow lap time in parctice and hence start further up than you should.

Maybe sa ythey we MIGHT have a reverse grid - but equally we might not - so you have to do a proper speed in Qually - or reverse the winners of the first race would be fairer.

I can see I am talking myself out of winning here................

Yep

The other drawback of reversing the grids, which you often see in the BTCC, is a lot more crashes and pile ups as the faster runners try to pick their way through the slower ones. It might be safer to stick with a normal grid.

What is the format sprints/Grand Prix races (heats and a final) ?

Last time we had a qualifying practice session to determine the grid for the first race. The first race results then determined the grid for the second race.

[Cotty]

Sounds good.

[jellison]

No driving slow in the first race

[jellison]

[Robatr0n]

We'll work something out as they can be quite flexible and adjust it accordingly for us on the day.
