Hi All, just a few comments from me about the points made so far :-
THE TRACK - The committee has looked at ways of making the track larger and to add an extra width of carpet we would have to restrict the number of racers to about 50. Last week we had 61.
We have had numerous suggestions on how to change the track and we have invited people to assist our Track designer by building features but no one has volunteered. Storage of additional carpet and new features is also an issue because we have a limited space available.
THE TIRES - The committee has always had an open mind on Tires for Buggies and we have left this decision to the MAJORITY of buggy racers. It was a proposal at last years AGM from a buggy driver that we allow foams to be used and it was voted on and passed. If anyone wants to change this they can propose it for the AGM and it can be voted on again.
NUMBERS ON TRACK - We are currently in our peak period as a lot of out door people come in doors and new racers appear with Christmas presents. Our Total number of racers can fluctuate between 25 and 70 !!!
We can reduce the numbers on tack in one of 2 ways :-
1) Restrict overall numbers say 40 Buggies and 16 GT12.
2) Change the Race format to 2 heats and 1 Final with 6 minute heats/finals.
THE COMMITTEE - We do not like to turn anyone away especially youngsters and anyone who has traveled a long way. We do our best but it is a members club and YOU the members make the rules.
