| Hi Guys &
Girlie |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
| What a relief
that the weather held for us on Sunday.
Hope you all enjoyed your days riding. There will be a full report later |
| but just
wanted to say there were some good chases going on in the different
classes. Congratulations to all the
winners. |
| Dougie
Kerr in the Expert class gave Murray a hard time - I don't know what Dougies
wife feeds him, but think I |
|
| should ask for
some receipes!!! (Oh am I going to get into trouble for saying that!!) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Wont waffle any
more I know everyone is eager to get the results. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Thought I
would just give you an insight into how the results are produced, just in
case some are wondering. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Each time you
go through your gate (correct one only) your number is taken in order on a
sheet. At the same time there |
|
| is a master
sheet being completed of all the bikes coming through, irrespective of class,
so there is back up should a bike |
| be missed for
whatever reason. Once the chequered
flag is put out this is noted on the gate and master sheets as only |
|
| bikes that take
the chequered flag record a finish, and also gives us placings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The
information on the gate sheets is then transferred onto another master
listing all the bikes in order and a box is ticked |
| for each lap
completed. This information is then
checked again, and if there are any discrepancies (one can get cross-eyed |
| dealing with
some many numbers!!) they are individually checked on the gate sheet and
checked against the master sheet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The gate
sheets are then checked against the master sheet, which would also highlight
any discrepancies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When
there are riders with the same number of laps their place is decided by the
order in which they took the chequered |
|
| flag. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| So there you
have it, which is why it takes a bit longer than you might think (work gets
in the way!!) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| However,
should you not be happy with your result and feel that your laps or place is
wrong please phone me as I am happy |
| to discuss
it. I am 99.99% sure these results
are correct but as I said I do get a bit cross eyed dealing with some many |
|
| numbers,
and I have been known to make the odd mistake or dozen!!! |

|
| Our motox
winter series kicks off on the 22nd October at Lochhouses, and we will be
holding another Hare & Hounds, the |
| last in our
X-Country Championship for 2006, on the 19th November again at
Lochhouses. We hope to see you there. |
|

|
|
|
| For
all those doing the our Selkirk Enduro on the 15th October, I do hope the
weather is kinder and that it goes ahead |
|
| giving you all
an enjoyable days riding. |
