I'd happily run a truck but it's difficult to commit to dates several months in advance when you work a lot of Saturdays. That of course is my problem & I do generally manage to make most of the rounds but it is annoying to pay upfront & then not be able to make it due to work, again my problem as I can see the need for the club to get advance payment to reduce no shows & messing about.
So do I put my entry in for 2wd or hang on to see if enough other people commit to run trucks to make it viable to return them to the programme?

Happy to run with Stadium trucks but maybe class them seperately but not so keen on the 4wd's (Sorry Justin & Pete) as collisions invaribly lead to more damage due to their weight & speed.

Just my tuppence worth

Jez as I've said in a few previous post, we had no 4wds last year, i turned 4wd away who wanted to race, so this is not a reason for low numbers last year.

IanG can confirm this as he was trying to book the person in

I've booked for 2wd, but will happily switch to trucks if there are enough others that will commit to run a truck heat

So do I assume no 4wd trucks allowed at the winter series?
