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!

[bradders]

glad I asked! Wonder how many, like Neil, believed it was only Sat and planned to leave early...maybe I shouldn't have asked

altho very unlikely I'll be there anyway

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

couldnt get hold of NE but.....skids says you can enter on the day

[skidlids]

Such a compassionate lot

If you have a look at the Average Points score per race for races entered and either started or failed to start/finish due to Mechanical/Bike issues

Kevin Palmer = 16.25
Neal Catling = 15.2
Alan Parkes = 13.8
Hugh Simpson = 13.5
Ron Jolley = 13.2
Phil Wilcock = 12.1
Paul Bradbury = 11.2

As you can see Kev P is only down where he is on total points after being forced to pull out of Anglesey due to the sad circumstances beyond his control,
Not because he had bike problems or wanted to save money by not entering.

At a track he has raced his bike at before so would have not only bagged himself a few points but would probably also have taken some points off some of the others.

I suppose its down to what each individual thinks is fair
