Are these organisers you mention, the organisers of the national short course shootout or Moto Arena event organisers?
considering A1 Racing Club have 20+ SCT's in our club and we are running a round of the championship... can't recall being asked for an opinion on venue choice?
I'm more concerned about the first round of the first proper series for SCT's in UK being a badly promoted low turnout shambles and ruining the interest and hype in the class because of a venues mistake and very slow resolution of the mistake.
I'm pretty sure that other clubs could step in to save the meeting also, but its getting short notice for spreading the word... magazine coverage needs plenty of notice and one of the sponsors have already been advertising the dates without being able to recieve the back up from the series website etc.
There are no excuses, its not hard to use a calendar or a diary... if i hadn't have noticed the date clash, how long would it have been before it was noticed?
IMO cancel/postpone the Moto Arena touring car meeting and run the SCT's as first intended, but i understand that its not as easy as that.
The drivers interested in racing in a national series shouldn't be too concerned about the locations of the series rounds, but more interested in when and where the rounds are, with enough notice and being able to book in to confirm their attendance at the event.
I'm not personally attacking you and appreciate you are communicating the info you have... sure you are as frustrated with not being able to give us some good news of a final decision... but i also have a fair few of our SCT members quizzing me on whether the meeting is on as first advertised so they can arrange travelling and work schedules etc, plus booking in!
