I agree juniors should get a reduced entry fee, the second class fee can be debatable. Being a nitro racer I have no intention of running a second class unless it is electric as nitro requires so much more of your time to prepare and the requirments of a pit crew tends to mean you need help from others as much they need help from you too so sometimes means you have no time at all to run a second class.
Second classes tend to be more of a problem in the electrics as a lot of drivers try to run 2wd and 4wd on the same day, if you are running 2 or more classes then you are responsible for organising a relief marshall not the club. So if you dont have a marshall in position as you are busy racing then you can expect to get punished for it.
I have noticed a lot of regionals run 2wd and 4wd on seperate events but then they may well have the numbers to be able to do this.

I can understand the need for the electrics to run to more stringent rules in regionals for licence purposes but us nitro racers are only there to make up the numbers on the day and to have a days racing. I would prefer to have a relaxed club day not having to worry about vis vests and staying on the rostrum till the finish rubbish, I dont have to do a licence and dont intend to do a national at the moment so I dont like to have it rammed down my throat at every event I do in my club.

The nitro racers of south wales at least seem to work together well and want the best out of the days racing, it looks like the electric side of the clubs need to work on this though.

We at Talywain need to start getting our club days organised because at the moment we only seem to be doing large national size meets and regionals. I just want to go racing and have fun in doing so but I cant do that if i'm constantly watching over my shoulder incase I upset someone because i'm a rebel nitro racer...

I know this post could have also gone in the other thread but as the discussion relates to the reasoning behind entry fees I feel it is all relevant.
