John mate,
I don't agree with you dude - the fact would be that MORE people would do regionals. I will explain.
Not everyone can get an entry to the Nationals as limited to 120.
Therefore racers would have to do their regionals and get a better licence to give them a chance to do the Nationals.
Also this is not about Lee, Darren, Neil and the rest of our superstar drivers we have. It's to do with the option of being able to do it as off-road racers and the BRITISH effort abroad for the year 2012 and the future.
How is it right for a driver like Darren Bloomfield not being able to complete at lets say 1/10th Worlds or visa versa with our 1/10th superstars at a 1/8th International event. This is not right at all.
If there is a back to back National then it should be up to the individuals to decide whether they want to go and NOT the BRCA.
I am all the way with Jon on this.......off road is off road and on road is that. If you are a Off-Road racer the chances are you want to do both and for that reason the BRCA HAS to review this again and do it NOW.
There are no entry forms out yet so there should be no excuse not to at least try and solve this date issue.
I for one want to race against the BEST drivers and not just some of them.
Even if I wasn't a racer I would want to see the best against each other and not the maybes of if who was and so on!!
To Trish - You are not the only one that is shocked at EPR not getting an event mate. This is not knocking any of the other clubs at all but EPR was one club that promoted the sport to the outside word and that has the potencialfor groth. Why the BRCA don't see that is beyond me. There should be a rule that a club PROMOTES the sport though TV, Radio, Newspapers and so on if a National event is gained. I've been argueing for this for years - got me in trouble before but I don't care anymore!
Lastly to John C. - The world doesn't stop because of a wedding dude - I can assure you theirs smells no different LOL
