I must have missed the section of rules that describes chosing your best 2 results from a 3 race weekend... quick Bradders, put in a claim for a win at Anglesey against this rule

... joking aside, this is probably the fairest option though.

Class B couldn't get much closer than it is... 5 points separate the top 4 places.

I don't understand the losing a minimum 25points comment? There are still only 50 points up for grabs, so is no different to any round in that respect. If you can afford not to get 50 points, that is the same regardless of how the points are awarded. What it does mean is that potentially the difference in points scoring is less (i.e. if someone is trying to make up points, they would have to win all 3 races in order to maximise their points scoring over the other competitiors.... if they win all 3 they make up 10 points, but to not win just 1 out of the three would mean only making up 5 points).

so what happens if someone wins all 3? Does the 2nd place of 1 become 1st? Or the pioints just disappear?

although my view has always been all races should count, no dropping at all, it seems unfair to those who have to drop Cadwell rather than a 2 race round; there is far more at stake over 3 races, even if only 2 best count. Imagine Ron would have liked the 3rd at Anglesey to count after a win and a DNF. Bin it/mechanicial in 1 race and you can still score max points....

I too missed the best two from the weekend bit. I assumed that if you did not turn up it would be three results dropped.

I still maintain that every race should count with no dropped results.

If you've earned them you should keep them but hey ho

When I drop my worst 2 at the mo I go from 2nd to 7th and Neal C. from 1st to 5th and that can't be right!

Joint 1st.

Didn't see the 7point result at Snetterton (Race 2) and took off 21pts. Which actually would have dropped you to 3rd just 1 point ahead of Kev.P

But I stand corrected you ONLY lose a 17pt. lead and are Joint 1st with Hugh and then Ron and Kev are just 3 and 5pts behind you!

If I have to drop 22 its only right you drop 21 methinks

not looking good right now, not the pain (its only pain!) but I cant actually get into a racing crouch and move around

not that the numpty woudl be any better well maybe on the straights

what makes it more a pi$$er, as if it wasnt already, is that Tom managed to squeeze it in for me to have a better-working motor too.

Knowing me, likley I'll do something stupid and be there anyway Just may need you there to get bike scrut'd and help out, spanner-man Dementor
