Race Controlling

[jimbhoy29]

I know its prob been done and said.. but in the rapid decline of the sport can race controllers not talk and try sort out times etxc to avoid clashin. instead of the so called big boys sayin we are going first we are bigger

[geordie1234]

Fs Jim ye haven't got a race over yer head yet atleast wait to the season has started before ye faw oot wae everyone lol

[jimbhoy29]

not tryin to fall out lol. il get that anyhow regardless of how the race goes. every week ppl are moanin about clashin surely 15 mins between libs isnt enough

[Dave barrie]

i agree but unfortunately too many feds and too many transporters all wanting that window on sat morning makes it a very hard call, also the controllers do a magic job but are slaughtered for it, comes to mind my job on the wagons, your only as good as your last run, everything else is just bye the bye.

[jimbhoy29]

would it not make sense. east side feds going together and west side feds going together. if all at same race point. rather than 5/6 individual libs 15mins apart. doesnt have to be all east feds but link up to closest together

[Dave barrie]

i was at ripon a few year back with north feds and because of small birdage controller wanted to lib all in, they didnt want to, total madness imo.

[jimbhoy29]

that will be same as us after 4th race. birdage always drops. need to try emerge some of it is common sense. but politics is always in the pigeon game

You should put your name forward for the job and you would no that race controllers dont just get up on a saturday morning and scratch there backside phone the lorrie and say just get them up some races you are on the phone for hours talking to other controlers so if you so blameing everything on clashing with other feds is rubbish clashing with bop is more like it.

Bang on pal . Last year I never heard once from the Ayrshire race controller not once . The biggest problem in Ayrshire at moment is all the splits north road south west road and everyone else that's left .

thats what I was told. there was no communication. thats why I posted this not to have a go at anyone this is my first time doing it so I need all the help I can get.. and il prob keep askin questions right upto race day..

[Kyleakin Lofts]

Jim, you should receive a race controllers guide via your secretary from the SHU. It should contain the contacts for the other SHU controllers. The North Road also gets the RPRA guide. I don't know whether all organisations get this one. Once you have these books, you at least will have your contact information and who should be racing from where and when they should be there.

Of course there are sometimes last minute alterations where some may go to a different lib point because of weather predictions or perhaps even move on the day of liberation, but at least you will have a start.

Another good thing I trialled this year is liberate app. They have submitted it to the RPRA and will probably go commercial, looking for money in the future, but once you are in England, it could be a useful tool for you.

I tried a few times at start of season to get hold of your controller but never got an answer , the year before he asked if youse could lib along with us at otterburn our third race ,I thought that it was to close a race point and too soon in season to joint lib. So I refused think he took the hump.
