I had a feeling that it was agreed at the agm hence the specific wording of my initial post

I didnt go so who am I to moan

I just wanted a discussion and to gauge peoples OPINIONS

Dont really want anyone getting on their horse and saying you didnt go so you dont have a right to have an opinion

Hmmm Mikey, national standard regionals ? Ive only done 1 out of the 2 regionals so far and from what I have experienced and heard, national standard it is not. Dont get me wrong, I am not knocking the excellent job that everyone does, I just feel that is a ridiculous comparison to make. Especially from an electric standpoint, what 10 entries per class at GNR ? Compared to 120 in each class at a national ?

Now being the seasoned hardcore racer I am, I have raced in a lot of regions over the years and have never, ever paid the same amount to race at a regional as I have at a national anywhere else other than here. £10 isnt a huge amount of money to me, £20 for each meeting (2 classes) over 6 regionals is £120. In all honesty does not inspire me, it wont stop me

The point of me raising it as a topic for DEBATE is more of a matter of principle and to gauge how other people FEEL.

If I was bringing my child in the hobby for the 1st time, it may make me think about it having already lashed out hundereds on competitive equipment
