At a quick glance at the last championship 40 odd drivers did 11 rounds but 95 percent of them would have to relinquish their place for a 'random' driver which isn't very fair in my opinion.
No system is perfect including ours and sometimes people will feel they are in the wrong heat but its impossible to please everybody so surely the emphasis should be on the regular club racers.

yes i can see your point the regular club members are the most important thing but what do we all go there for every week that is to race and race with drivers of simular ability not to lap 2sec a lap faster than the other 7 cars in your heat not only does it get boring but it gets a tad frustrating for the faster driver and the other 7 who are forever moving out the way, now thats not racing. i apreciate what you are saying having a driver turn up who previusly beat you he would be graded higher but do you not feel you would want to beat them and become a better driver,

A qualifying final format would get aronud the problem your feeling dave for the reason if you are graded slightly lower than you think you should be the q result would put you in the correct final to maintain the 5th position ect.
