The issue of people doing enough rounds is central to this. The last few years the numbers actually doing the required 4 has been rather low.
However, the problem there is one of location and weather. Southport and Bury aren't that far apart, and a large portion of the regions racers live quite near both. South Lakes, Batley and Keighley are all much further away, so for many racers the easy, cheap route to 4 rounds is to do the Southport and Bury meets, and miss out the 'away' rounds. Then it rains like it did for Bury's round last year and people don't come - suddenly a huge chunk of racers missing enough rounds to score. Truth is there isn't a solution to that problem unless we ran indoors!

Two day format takes a lot of days out of the calendar, even if a club opens whilst another is hosting it still means that date has to be written off and can't be used for a club competition or such like. Two day format obviously benefits those drivers that want to follow event type meetings, but detrimantal to regular club attendances. With a limited number of venues and a limited number of drivers it comes down to a balance of satisying both competition events and club racing. |

Roger, I do agree with both you and Mike, however my main point was that in my eyes (I'm happy to listen to other views) the regional series is for drivers to try attain formula's F4 through F2 at the end of it.
If you are already F1 in the current year, you could at worst drop a grade to F2. For this reason any current F1 driver has nothing to gain by doing the regional series, as they could not better F2, the top grade available from the series.

I vote other - 2wd and 4wd run on the same day but only 1 class per person.
This allows 120 - 130 drivers to enter regional meetings without people hogging places by running 2 classes.

I might not know much, but I don't think you could actually turn anyone away who holds a valid BRCA licence... but what do I know?

I agree, don't turn anyone away regardless of f grading or location, but I think preference should be given to those committed to doing the series and not just one or two rounds.

The point is this is a BRCA series, and therefore must be run to the rules in the BRCA rule book, *some* of these are allowed to have a 'regional variation', but it's not possible to just go making new ones up *I THINK* <-- that last bit is my opinion and is not an official statement from the BRCA (no matter what it says in my sig) and is in case I am wrong - I have been wrong before, 1998 I think it was......
I'm sure Stu is talking to the people he needs to to sort this out, but I feel for him, his new job is not an easy job when things are going smoothly.

In an ideal world we would have 2x seperate 6 round series, but if only shared across 3 clubs it is also a shit option. Everything comes down to lessers of evils. Last edited by Col; 08-03-2012 at 12:45 AM. Reason: swearing |

Sly - I know about Batley and Keighley, but that sort of shows up my point. The series is down to 3 clubs as it is and one is quite remote from the other two (good though it is). If Bury or Southport decided the same as Batley and pulled out the whole thing would fold......

Mikes point was a very good one, having top quality F1 drivers at regionals only serves as an incentive to lesser drivers to better themselves.

Voted 'Other', limit people to 1 class but keep the format the same, in my view it is part of the competition, pick your best class and stick with it for the regionals. Why shouldn't F1's race regionals, especially this year there are no North West tracks on the Nationals so our 'local' F1's miss out on their local tracks?

I've voted for other.
I think if we could get everyone pre booked, and pre paid, be it down to a central system, or individual clubs/paypal, the clubs should be able to post a heat list the day before, and be 100% strict on a start time, say 8.30, that would save a good chunk of time at the start of the meeting, probably needs just over 30 mins to run an extra heat and i don't remember starting racing before 9.30, that should squeeze in an extra 22 cars. then if we're still over booked, limit to one class per driver, with second cars on a reserve list |
