[quote]I think it would be better if they split the 4th and 3rd cats up. Maybe have an E123 and then a 4th category
No way, i think the 3/4 cat race is the best option. The jump from 4th to 3rd isn't quite as significant as 3rd to 2nd. Everyone knows the score at Palace! If you're a brand new fourth cat its gonna be very very tough indeed!
Even as someone who's considered ok on hills there's no way I'd have risked C.P as a fourth cat...I know a couple of 4ths who raced the whole season (16 weeks) at Palace last year and didn't manage a bunch finish once. I got dropped the first time and I hope Tim doesn't mind me mentioning it took him about five attempts to finish with the pack last year. Infact, some 2nd cats wouldn't even dare go near the place- so hats off to our boys for having a go...
George it'll be nice to hear your take on the race on tuesday night. I think for people who are thinking about racing its great to hear the 'new to' or 'I've come back to' racing guys viewpoint.
