One thing we've got to ask is what do the clubs need in terms of entries to make hosting a round viable? If one of the ideas is for nitro & electric to have seperate rounds, then would clubs want to host 2 WRCA events a year, even if the number of drivers were down on numbers from combined meetings?
This is bound to have an impact on the entry fees, race day formats & any other ideas we have for improving the WRCA events.
And just to give some ideas of numbers, I've done some rough calcs based on the results from the WRCA website, for the 1st 2 rounds this season.
64 different drivers took part in the 1st 2 rounds (with a fairly even split between electic and nitro). 14 of those drivers entered two classes, of which 9 did two electric classes, 3 did two nitro classes and 2 did one nitro and one electric class
In terms of Welsh clubs and the classes that they as a club run outdoors, I believe that the following list is correct:
Caldicot - 1/10 Electric only
Cobra - 1/10 Electric only
GNR - 1/8 nitro & 1/10 Electric
Talywain - 1/8 nitro only
Swansea - 1/8 nitro & 1/10 Electric
Saundersfoot - 1/8 nitro & 1/10 electric
Midwalesnitro - not holding a round but website says 1/8 nitro & 10 electric?
Carmarthen - no longer racing?
Any others???
With the website wouldn't the WRCA have a space on the new BRCA site? In terms of forum, this WRCA section on oOple has had more posts in the last day than the WRCA forum has had in a year!
In the interim why not decommision the WRCA forum and have the website direct people here?
We could add some stickies at the top for club info (with links to club sites), a link back to the WRCA site, regional info, etc.
Apologies for my ramblings!
