They should do 'online voting' for those that can't make it.
Yes we should all support our hobby and should vote towards things that need to be voted for. But, there are actually things, that in the real world, are actually more important than model car racing (such as Mr G's daughters christening, and my own situation with the twins which will be kicking in around that time too).
So I think they should hook with present technology and add online voting.
I'm sure most people (like myself) would love to come along and vote, but just have more 'important' things to be doing.
I used to go to all the AGM's and vote for subjects related to the extinct F1 class, even though there was only a handful of us racing in it, so I know what its all about. But as I said, I've had more pressing engagements in the last 10 yrs or so like, family, business, work that haven't allowed me to go.
Personally, I don't see why they shouldn't allow them. The TC lads have run them all year without a hitch (not that I've heard of anyway) and they'll charge theirs at stupid rates to get every last ounce of performanc out of them. We on the other hand, won't have to realy.
And surely they can't be no more harmful that the cells we run now (and last year) yet we still run them.
