As much as i appreciate the relevant sections in getting the 2011 BRCA race dates out early, I do feel that sightly better coordination between the 2 main off road sections could have been achieved.
As this seems to be the most sensible forum to voice an opinion on this topic, I therefore suggest.... no plead, for anyone who is remotely connected to either section committee, to see sense in this situation for the good of both classes.
My suggestion is as follows:-
The 1/8th section move its round 2 date from Sunday 8th May to Sunday 1st May
The 1/10th section move its round 4 date from weekend of 18th/19th June to weekend of 25th/26th June
IF.... just IF this can be done, many more racers can attend both series (either racing, watching, supporting) and for the BRCA, they will be rewarded with the potential of having the very best racers representing them at the 2012 international everts.
IF we can not manage to do this, then one if not both classes, will be diluted. Equally this will also help the commercial industry, as our main players will be able to support both classes to their highest level.
So I ask again, if you agree with the simple suggestion and you know of any committee member, please have a chat. Lets make 2011 a year to remember
PS to those who are thinking it dont matter, my section will be fully booked, just think.... economic times are not good, until the numbers are in, we don't know for sure that high entires will happen in 2011. On top of that we seem to be losing a shut per month at the moment.
Thanks for reading
