If thats the problem Phil the answer is to get involved more. Then it doesn't matter who they are, it really is your track.

At one of the Bury regionals last year, some guy started spouting off on the rostrum at Buds because he wasn't standing in the same place in round 2 as he had in round 1. It seems at some clubs thats not the done thing. Anyway, I told him to wind his neck in, reminded him that such matters are down to the host club and that as a representative of Bury Metro I had no problem with Buds moving places, but I did with him kicking up a fuss. Soon sorted it.

Doesn't have to be the club either - Bud's probably wouldn't have such an issue anymore either. Buds Balls has made him an official player in the RC world, whereas you are current JAD (Just Another Driver) at the moment.

The funny thing is, Bury is actually the least likely place to bow and scrape over the presence of a few F1's and 2's. We've already made it known that the club is for its members, and that non-members visiting are in effect guests and should act like it. Other clubs are much worse at this, and don't assume it doesn't happen in other sports cos it does.

Regionals and bigger meets do bring out some ar$ehole$ though. Its one of the reasons we stopped doing the whole Chadderton thing.
