I sense some manipulation in the numbers Kev; race 3 wet are you considering Andy C as a finisher? Is so that's manipulation of data. If not I apologise.

Otherwise good work....clearly as bored as I am right now

On my Spread sheet I had both figures, but as the result was taken at the end of lap 4 without Matt being included as the cause of the Red Flag then at that time the figure relates to those still out on track incliduing Andy, a DQ for other reasons enforced after the race is called removing him from the result doesn't change the the amount of riders out on track at the end of lap 4.

As the idea behind looking at the Stats was to do a comparison between the amount of riders still racing when the result is declared against those that started the race but didn't finish for one reason or another then including Andy is needed for a fair comparison, not doing it this way would be manipulating the figures,

As for having spare wheels for Wets I wouldn't bother I would just bring the Wet bike

So what was it with Andy out? Will be the worst of the weekend for DD won't it?

Just over 77% so still Not as bad as Saturday's attempts at running race 1

Big difference is that when the 2nd red flag came out on Saturday, there had been 4 fallers and zero retirements, where as in race 3 on Sunday when the red flag came out there was 1 faller and several retirements.

Like i said perhaps we shouldent race in the dry

At times you would think we had short sprint races of only 6 laps or so as with New Era, but we now have races of 10, 12 or 14 laps (which is what we're paying for), twice as many laps to try and get a result
at times you wouldn't think so and at times the actual races end up getting reduced to 6 laps or so after having to be stopped, quite often in dry conditions

Obviously the tyres arent up to the power and speed our bikes are putting out in the dry , we need slicks and tyre warmers
