People with post codes outside the northwest region should not be allowed to book in for northwest regionals.i know some people prefer the one day 2 classes thing but if that's not the way it's done in the region they live well they need to take it up with the brca rep in their region. It's their problem not ours.
Example:- one bloke lives in east yorkshire but prefers the one day format so let's say he's in the top ten to fire emails off the the relevant clubs and so he's booked in for all northwest regionals.so then some one like me dos'nt get his emails off and is then forced to travel far greater distances for twice the number of times due to the 2 day format!!!! Absolute farce and totally unfair in my eyes Sort it out the stu wood!!! |

well then if thats the case should the north west region be using a club not in the north west which then leaves you very low on tracks to use

I don't think they can get the venue twice within the year otherwise they would get my vote for a 2nd round.

The entry sytem unfortunately is a bit of a 'free for all' rather than perhaps an emailing list for interested people who wish to do the minimum number of rounds to qualify are all emailed at the same time with a single link or entry for to book in for all rounds (and also publicising on oople). Then, similarly to Nationals, there should be a closing date say 3 weeks later after which priority system for entries (but not the same criteria as Nationals) is used and people can be told yay or nay and x reserve. It would take a bit of administering though and someone would have to put in the time to do it.
As rounds seem to be quite oversubscribed (as happened when the dates went up last year) perhaps the 2 and 4wd classes could be split, but so as to minimise clashes, it could be a 3 from 5 or even 3 from 4 rounds for each class (if that satisfies BRCA rules?).

rickrick batley only got 1 round mate i think the best way to sort it out is split the 2wd and 4wd on to seprete days

Possibly another idea is to let you do either 2wd or 4wd not both, i'm booked in to do both but would be willing to give one up to let someone else race, did do last year at southport, left the 4wd at home but then there was enough space for me to run both as people are in a frenzy to book in then don't even turn up to late by then though.
so maybe a pre pay system is a better way of making it more likely that people will turn up after they have booked in. |

What if you was only able to book in and compete in 4 of the 6 that in theory would free up 33.3% of the available number???? |

Seems to me its fairly simple, but obviously this applies from next year as its too late for this one:
1) Central booking in. Really not that hard to arrange a central spreadsheet of who is entered for what. Specific details (transponders, crystals etc) need not be on at this level, its just for numbers. 2) Priority for North West drivers. I'm not suggesting no drivers from other regions but its nuts that once again NW drivers have missed out as all the spaces are full. Of course the discussion of what makes you a NW driver is relevant here. 3) Priority for those entering the minimum 4 qualifying rounds. I don't think demanding the whole series is realistic, but you need 4 scores to get an F grade so if you aren't doing that many you are potentially taking up a space for someone who is. 4) Some sort of prepayment. I know for a fact some drivers have booked in for classes they don't even have a car for yet! There are regularly a good number of no-shows from those pre-booked, and given the speed the spaces are going some drivers are simply booking in without checking dates etc. At present there is little incentive not to do so. There needs to be a way to penalise those who book up spaces they won't actually use, as thats another racer missing out. I'll be perfectly happy to help with this when the time comes, but this sort of arrangement needs to be in place well in advance.
