After following this thread for a bit, i thought I would comment..
It seems a lot of people are complaining about the distances they have to travel...well it is a NATIONAL series??!! If you dont want to travel, and cant afford it, just attend your regional series, just like us mere mortals!
. I have looked at doing Nationals for a few years now, and just cannot do them, mainly due to RC tyre and hotels/fuel/camping costs...so will do my regionals.
It also seems their is a north south divide...not too sure how that works out. The tracks seem to be from a mix of regions
Stotfold: mid-south
Southport: north-west
Oswestry: mid-west
RHR: mid-east/north east (not sure)?
Taywain: wales
Kidderminster: mid-west
The only region missing out is south-east/london/home counties in favour of kiddrminster, who hasnt had a national for two years now. It seems like the last time, the venue wasnt quite good enough from others comments, which means they did not get it...
With regard to the other comments, I know that some clubs get the chop sometimes, but quite often bounce back with a better track or facilities, which has got to be good. Show us what you can do next time EPR!
I do agree with trying to get the media involved...seems there are too many obese playstation kids, who need to get out and get some fresh air...we need some fresh blood in this sport!
