When I started doing regionals, they were pretty much all Sundays, then one full weekend crept in and suddenly the majority of the regionals seemed to be full weekends which caused a lot of problems for me. I do remember a lot of people WANTING the full weekends though... possibly the people who now do NW (don't shoot me if I'm wrong on that).

The only downside I can see is late finishes... I was talking to someone about the NW and they said that one of the regionals didn't finish until 8pm or something? Is that true?
They run both classes on the same track with 2wd first then 4wd. For example if there are 12 heats then heats 1-6 would be 2wd and heats 7-12 4wd.

In regards to late finishes there was a problem with the first regional at Southport but this was down to booking in issues and the meeting not starting until around 12:30.

The second regional at Bury started on time and was finished for around 6 which i dont think is too bad. If we did our regionals in the same way we would prob finish earlier given the numbers at Batley. North West had 12 heats and a guest heat and still managed to finish by 6. We only had 5 heats for our regional at batley so if not everyone does both classes then we would only have around 9 or 10 heats in total meaning if things run the way they should then we should be finished for around 5:30.
