I've asked for it to be what's known as a 'Trophy Round', where no points are available, just the usual trophies and maybe a certificate for the other atendees as a memento. Otherwise how is it fair on those that are either excluded by the numbers game or by the cost/time issue? |
Come on Nick, let's be serious about this...
DD is a race series, albeit one for "novice" racers in the club making that step from trackdays to the axe murderers class.
You enter on the understanding that you score points for how well you do, and how far from the front you finish (Geoff seems to have that particular spot sewn up...)
When you enter, you're agreeing to the rules of the series. If you don't like the rules, either don't enter or get them changed. Maybe the zero feedback is an indication that people don't agree with you?
I think the points should stand for all rounds, and we shouldn't drop any. This is racing, not the New Labour idea of "Sports Festivities" where you participate in team events and all get a handshake and a nice certificate at the end. They used to call it sports day when I was at school and you used to kick each other around a muddy field in the hope of being winners, but that's just winner-ist these days and has been outlawed so it doesn't hurt the losers (sorry, "second winners") feelings just in case they feel like suing.
FFS get a grip. Enter the series and try your best. If you can't afford to commit to the full series then maybe you should be looking elsewhere?

When I said "DD peeps" I meant the organisers!
Antonye, you're the first competitor that has disagreed.
Anyway, it's only my opinion I'm putting forward... feel free to disagree with it but don't give me a slating for it. I'm going to assen, but just think it should be in a different format... as does a lot of others!
