I feel I have to pipe up on the Kidderminster point, even though it's not really totally relevant to this particular thread.
Kidderminster
IS a club and actually holds more Sunday 1/10th scale events at it's venue than many West Mids clubs, only Coventry I believe have more (because they run other classes for other forumlas like short course etc.).
When the request was made for helpers for the national event there was a good response from those that, like myself, think it's a great place to race.
The West Midlands region doesn't really have much "club" racing as far as I can tell (only raced in that region since the mid 80s so I might have missed it) because the racers prefer to get out and about and see different venues. Most club events seem to be casual affairs on a weekday evening if there is enough light. Oswestry excepted as they have a proper club championship on a weekday night which I would love ot go to but nearly 4hrs weeknight round trip to a 'club' in my 'region' isn't practical.
To that end Kidderminster runs as actively as just about any other club in our region and has, in my opinion, the best track in the region if no the country .... my opinion remember.
So with my opinion considered then I would
ALWAYS put Kidderminster forward for a national if it was my choice as I consider it to be unbeaten as a venue ..... money where my mouth is? Too right ... it is going to cost me & my good lady close to 500 real cold hard pounds in lost earnings to support Kidderminster on the national weekend ... see you all there, just make sure your cars fit in the box!
