For next year I'll be proposing that the first Sunday in every month is a "Championship Round" - 6 rounds during May to September with your best 4 scores to count. Every Sunday throughout the year will be a "Clubman Round" where F4 and F5 drivers earn points every week with 70% (rounded down) of the total rounds run counting - at the moment that would be 11 rounds to count from 16.
Rather than a regional series, I'd like to see the RCCAOI National expanded out to at least 3 rounds - all to count with 3 different venues - Lucan, Cork and Drop-In or Jag&Daimler or Venue-X. Perhaps these events could be run on bank holiday Mondays as most people are not working on those??
Hope the honey-moon is going well Ian, some good mracing happening at the moment - when are you home?
Did you get my text about the genny? New plug sorted it.

In fivemiletown we run 3 championships a year which we've now settled on running them for 10 nights each with your best 8 counting. We've always went on the formula of having 1 drop score per group of 5 nights (ie 1-5 = 1 drop, 6-10 = 2 drop, 11-15 = 3 drop).
I would love a multi-round national series at several venues. If wanted I could take over an event in drop inn or somewhere else up north here. Drop Inn has the indoor hall but it also has a lot of ground outside which although it would take some work, could be cleaned up to run a race outdoors with indoor pitting and power.
