TJ101 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Guys. Also fully agreed with all the above, Certainly after some thought, the sin bin idea would not work for the reasons stated in Jame's points 1 & 2 ! I also feel & hope that 99% of breakages are genuine, I think the problem lies with the pouches !, As this is the first time i have ever lost one, bar for a very early event at Seven Sisters, and that fell off , just driving alone, (yes at site limit ! ) I can not remember seeing results from a past event, with the same amount of detached cards before !. You sure it was not a new batch of Viking's cheapest you bought James ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
najw Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The easiest way to reinforce the cards is to use plastic hole reinforcers before they are laminated. That way you have four times the amount of protection around the weakest point. Then punch the hole through the middle of that lot. We have only had three cards pulled off in 2 years (that we know about) using this system. The CyberKeys will be attached using a new top-secret method that WILL NOT come off :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lard Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 at the end of the day rules are rules and everybody has the same type of card .plus me and ciderman made sure the card was tucked back on to the dashboard after every punch it only takes 2 seconds.(its not rocket science) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treebloke Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Welded on? Possible, a touch of super glue on the cable tie and its welded, unless the competitors are gonna take cables ties and super glue, but then James could put a secret mark on his origional ones that only he knows about, or different colours. On the last event we pulled our card off quite early on, we was well within punch rage (sorry, range) but it was just an awkward one to do. I think the hole was perhaps a little close to the edge for a fourteen stone guy with big wet leather gloves (kinky) balancing on one leg while holding the door open. I am not complaining (honest) and I understand you need to get in really tight to get the punch, but it seemed to come off with little resistance. Perhaps cables ties are not the best method, why not two ties, our punch card had two holes, or put the hole in the middle, that would certainly take some pulling off.

white90 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 a nice reel of sellotape in the cubby box to reinforce the laminated sheets from Lidols no amount of "don't pull it" at punch 4 would have stopped ours from nearly being pull off so extreme care from then on was excercised as Larfy said it was tucked in the dash after each punch to avoid a catastrophe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lard Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 if the hole started to rip but did not break totaly could you get another card but still keep all points. from larfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Cant tuck it into the dash on a Range Rover it just has to hang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 A new mod for Nick then a pocket to tuck the card into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 if the hole started to rip but did not break totaly could you get another card but still keep all points.from larfy we asked and was told to sod off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 As Lardy said earlier, we all get told the rules and accept them. There is nothing to stop us bringing tape etc.. to reinforce the holes if we really want to. Of course, it's easy for me to say as I've never had one come off.........

white90 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Luckily Selotape was in the cubby box on my 90 after wrapping up presents at xmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I was going to ask why you were wrapping presents in the 90, but thought that may be a bit...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
