So...
What about the possiblily of running nitro and electric on separate days? I think it might help with the logistics of noise curfew's and everyones expectations of a race day schedule, both on the nitro and electric front?
I don't think we need full national standard rules, with scrutineering, tx compounds, electrics rules, etc. Our turnout is too small and consequently the racing is not as close as the bigger regions. If it was bigger and we had more equally skilled drivers challenging for points it would be more important, but right now, I think we just need to keep the racing as open and accessible as we can and encourage as many people as we can to join in, but take on board the important safety aspects that we need.
I do think we should make sure each race day is run to good time, and to a consistent race format at every event. Maybe we could try and agree and provide a race schedule for all the clubs to try and adhere to, so we all get to know the format. Hopefully all the venues are able to support that?
At the first 2 rounds, although the clubs did their best at the time, and we have essentially run to a consistent format which has been ok, it's felt a little adhoc at times. A little more structure to that could help everyone, clubs included.
I also like Craigs idea on the other thread about running a separate electric meeting at the AGM, and then something combined to agree the calender for the year and anything else that is common ground. If it promoted a better AGM turnout for the good of the electric races the that must be a good thing!
At the end of the day it should all be about making the racing competitive, safe and most of all fun, lets make sure eveything we do has that as the goal!
Right I'll stop now!
