I run a club in Lincolnshire quite big running on road and off road outdoors and during the winter months indoors at the local hall built over 15 years.
The one thing to remember is you will never please everyone so do not even try but you must be open to more racers do not close your doors to anyone,as racers are getting more scarce with many other hobbies competing for the same people.
I would say to Scott good luck to your club but the one thing you need is racers to increase your bank balance you will get people you do not like or just pick fault and any and everything you do even i its brillant but you get that in all walks of life. I do applaund trying something diffrent and i really hope it works for you i must say if your outdoor track is brillant i think they will come and forget about the timimng equipment until they do not win and need an excuse
.Just one word of advice when club funds allow you should by some more handout transponders so this can be given out instead of loaned because thats basically how its done, we at the momment run the old amb20 so no PTs can run anyway but we do have 20 hand out transponders some people moan but we would rather spend the money on upgrding the track and facilites. We must all pull in the same direction other wise our hobbie will die we allready have declining numbers as to say 10 years ago i wish you well with your club and i may come an have race during the summer.
all the best Darran (Leverton Raceway)
