ok mate i'll give jim spencer a ring after lunch.
just tell me what you want to know. |
I too would like to see bury thrown in the mix and while we`re at it, southport :D
|
would it be possible if all involved agree, to spilt northeast / northwest in to equal club regions including bury southport what ever,
or as lee said add southport bury into northeast, and run 4 to count from 6-7 clubs then if people dont wont or cant afford to travel they can still do there 4 local clubs and miss the two furthest away or 1 furthest away you get my idea |
I think the reasons given include (credit given to those who initially wrote them in this thread):
To qualify for the BRC finals, or EOY finals, you need to be best in your region. I don't think it's right to be the best in half a region, as it detracts from the qualification procedure, and also dilutes the achievement. It is a greater accolade to be UK NE champion, than Champion of half of the North East. The BRCA NE regional is to give people the chance to compete against all of the people from the geographical reason you are in, so if there was NNE and SNE, then I wouldnt have the opportunity to compete against all of the drivers. As Dan says, more competitors is the key for a great days racing. You would lose the social side of camping over, if meetings are on your doorstep. Costs of fuel can be offset by car sharing, and is negligable compared to cost of racing |
if anything it would be better as one big region we would have 3 good permanent venues in bury batley and southport and then have york durham and teesside or jarrow etc
The distance doesn`t bother me i go for a good time and to have fun, if i do well its a bonus:) I like the idea of weekenders too i think these give a good feel to a meeting . |

Chris theres always two sides of the coin, if you split it in two you would get twice as many at the end of year finals 10 NE and 10 from northwest clubs just imagine poor old Johny thats 11th in your region and cant do eoyf because he isn't high enough in a low region turn out NW he may get in problem solved for little Johny lol, as said a adding together in my other post may work theres more than one way |
Will the calendar allow for that many regionals?
Batley Weekender Bury Weekender Southport Weekender Teesside weekender Jarrow 2WD Jarrow 4WD South Shields Weekender Thats atleast 7 weekends? We were limited to a lot less than that this year. And, as has been said, regionals are to race against people in your region, not half a national event. Carl, would we get 10 places each for EOY finals, or 5 each? |
Clarky, can you ask Jim how the boundries are decided for regionals, and what a regional should be achieving as an event.
|
okey dokey

but please keep it One North East http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon4.gif splitting would mean less events for me & possibly other and I would consider selling kit if I only had 3 regionals to go at. At present my kit gets used @ regionals, F3's, Vets and other one day events that get out on. The above may be the case for other drivers to so you'd end up with less drivers and the clubs would suffer I like racing :drool: but not the politics :thumbdown: |
