personally i think our race program this year has not helped our controller one bit, what we have asked Willie to do is the equivelent of walking across the M8 blindfolded. Racing from east to west every week in small jumps with Scottish doos below us going North and now English doos going South. Trying to pick a clear run through that must have been a nightmare. He has a big team of his own away every week and i know he works hard at his birds and like the rest of us he has suffered losses and is probably scratching his head also, so for next year lets try a give him some help by picking a race program that helps. 6 races amd we were only at the 90-100 mile stage and what did our doos learn.....nothing. time we let or controller and convoyer have a greater input into racepoints. jmo
