You can run 1/5 scale in your garden comfortably , but if you invite your street over you've got a problem Just like this , the venue may hold club. However obviously to small for an event This is clear pitting in 3 different locations just for a wrca Nonoffence the people defending this are thd people involved with wrca and cobra No doubt if it went ahead , and was over booked it would damage both names due to size so u can see why it's capped as we'd be like sardines No ones saying thd halls to small to race , it's to small to acomendate the event such as racers and pitting |

The difference is, Phil, even with a large entry, the previous venue lost money, as the council just kept upping the cost. And as we would only ever hold one 'big meeting' a year in there, the rest of the time, it was just a BIG drain.
Just for reference, out of the entries, only 8 of them are club members of COBRA.

Yep double edged sword but we've been on both sides..... We previously had the largest and most expensive indoor venue, which wasnt viable as a one off for this event as they wouldnt open the hours required to allow a full days racing including setup or allow us access the day before for the price ho hum - people moaned about that venue aswell but there we go

No disrespect to anyone
But my view is my view , for a club to hold an event it should be able to hold it Clearly , size hear is a factor And as a result many people have lost out As a club , you'd do everything to bring the best to anyone. If this cap remains , it will have a negative and adverse opinion on wrca and cobra sorry Bad experiences stick out over good ones This will stick and people will remeber that as members we have been failed again |

That venue only ever once had a buggy track laid out on it! (well a bit of a buggy track) So no one will ever know if it was financially viable. Lovin the humour from the guys who are BOOKED IN..

Owens BOOKED IN (for now lol).
Dan, Cap remains currently, until we can get into the venue on Sunday and take more measurements, I can't see it changing unless we have a brainwave, I am sure people won't want to pit out on the patio. Dave, if you are that convinced that you can make £220 a day in entries at The Star Centre, we are more than willing to give you their contact details.

On Sunday we will be seeing if we can hold anymore people, if we can those who stayed on the reserve list will be notified and entered to the event within due course.Also an update will be posted on here Thanks

To be fair to cobra. I know all about costs and hall prices. And running at a loss is silly business.
But that's not the point here. Being able to run a round of the reginal that cant accommodate the members is just stupid. As Steve c said. This round is being run. Then if it does there should be no scoring points allowed. Currently if all the micro drivers who should be attending book in as there is a week left to book in. That will be the biggest class. We need a decision from the wrca. I would rather see cobra run this round but at a proper venue that can hold this event. On that note. I will offer you swansea and its track equipment. The hall costs £62.50 and bring your timing and tape. May not be what you want. But you keep the money and everyone can race.
