FWIW I don't think c's were promoting themselves. The race was billed as B+C scratch race, but obviously all the A's who hadn't made it through the derny heats were in there sandbagging too.
I know it's a struggle to run a good programme of events for everyone, but really that was poor planning - especially since most people had been sitting about for the previous hour and were either chomping at the bit, or tired and not well warmed up.
