They tried to do this in the last few years of the RRci series,
1/ they banned F1 drivers
2/ You had to pay to join the RRCi drivers club for your points to score
3/ they started to clash the dates with Nationals
If they were to bring back the RRci series they would struggle, I think as it is already a very congested summer calender, BUT why not use the winter and make a type of winter national series?
There are quite a few national standard clubs holding a winter series ie: Stotfold, Cml, Kidderminster, Eden Park, Coventry why not get them all together and have on big series??
Anyway back on topic I aggree with Jimmy and Chris that there sholud be a wild card entry system in place, but if we want this to happen it would need to be done at the AGM at the end of the year.
As for an invitational type meeting, I was luck enough to race at the Reedy Race open class held at Marston Palmer in 1996, and that was a great 2 day meeting, every round was a race with mass starts.
Watching the invitational class heats change every round, so everyone raced everyone else, with the eventual winner coming from a culmination of points over the 2 days.
