| To put this all straight......
The Cadwell round was over subscribed and those who put their entries in last were put on the reserve list, as is usual in such an event.
The number of riders allowed out in qualifying exceeded the number allowed to race (38) so the reserves were allowed out in qualifying to ensure that if a place later became available due to one on of the original 38 dropping out they could take the vacant spot.
New Era made the mistake of including those who had gone to Cadwell as reserves due to late entry on the grid listing and corrected that once it was pointed out to them. If that had not been done then those who entered the meeting more promptly would have been unfairly penalised.
This applied to others and was explained. Having discussed this with the other riders concerned it was decided that a clarification of this will be added to the rules for 2007.
It was the only fair way to deal with the situation which was not of our (the RC's) making in the first place.
Great day of racing, good to see so many of you turn out to both compete and spectate !!!! |
