Another benefit of running nationals to my sugggested format would be practice on the Sunday morning could be cut down there for giving us a chance to get away earlier so most people can be home at a decent time on a Sunday.....
Regarding Home advantage, i am afraid as the tracks that want to hold nationals are generally the purpose built tracks it is becoming more relevant to practice at these tracks to ensure you are good to go on the Day, It is why people such as Neil Crag, Tom Yardy & Phil Sleigh etc have made the effert to visit Stotfold already and yes there are guys such as Lee and Bloomers that don't practice at the tracks but can perform on the day. I do some of the kiddy winter series meetings as i feel the need to practice at these tracks to give myself the best opportunity but reality is some tracks are just to far for all of us to practice at.
