Also, they like the number of rounds we currently have, and don't want to see the championship spread out with more rounds. 4 of each is enough thanks.

Al, you say you've spoken to some of our members, how many of the 90 or so have you spoken to? do you have a 'fair' repesentation in the way of a majority to make the above comments because you haven't spoken to me about it!
3 leg A's are a possibility and like Matt said it gives drivers something to aim at and that special feeling when you make it, they can also be very enjoyable to watch. However the reality is we may have to have a bit of a gap between finals for the A to prepare and volunteer marshalls would be needed. How much actual extra time would it be for the race director? Is this not workable?
3 legs for all would be the Daddy for an enjoyable days racing (if everything go's right for you early on) however I see it as 'risky' running 3 qualifiers in a Championship where you can only drop 1 round.
If you have 2 bad first rounds it would be a long day ahead facing a low final with no way out. Infact i'd abort to the boozer
4 rounds and 2 finals is an interesting option if the points are seperate and not collective but do we want to run regionals where there is a chance of having no clear winner?
Or we could carry on running 4 + 1. But even with this I don't feel it is the best format again in a Championship where you can only drop 1 round.
Pro's and con's for each, no doubt the results will pan out very simular as previous years which ever format gets voted in.
Also is having 5 rounds not an option? other regions do it and it would certainly lead to a 'fairer' championship being able to drop 2 scores and in turn it would put less pressure on competitors having to complete every round. It will also help if a meeting as to be called off due to bad weather. Two two dayers maybe?....
Anyway me and Dan are going for a pub meal in Grantham after the meeting if anybody would like to join us?
