last year when you ran it on the field was one one of the best wrca events I had ever been to.
As this event is a regional it must be able to handle 10 cars on the track. Although I love what you have done at cobra and I appreciate the hard work put in. the astro track in my opinion is only a club track due to size.

Hi Axeman,
Thanks for the comments about last years WRCA round
I love us having no restrictions on track size and layout by using the main field and would happily run on there but........
We are still unclear on where we will run the regional for a number of reasons.
1) If weather is bad then we cannot run on the main field with lots of real cars, wet grass and the gradient it will be a mud bath (let alone what our toy cars will do do it!!) and we cannot damage the field too much of we wish to continue using it
2) If numbers are low on last year like they were at caldicot then the work involved in sorting out the field will be alot for 20-30 racers which is the same numbers as our normal club days....
As regards track size , our area is larger than that used outside caldicot , which managed to run 10 car finals with some very tight sections well under regs with no complaints i believe.
This is not a dig at caldicot mearly illustrating a point guys as i loved your wrca round
Ideally we would run on the grass, if we do we cannot setup the day before which means something like a 6am start to layout track , build rostrum etc as we will be missing a large number of club and committee members on holiday that weekend!.
Now if people are happy to come early and help us then we can seriously consider this so feel free to let me know if you can lend a hand (THIS APPLIES TO ANYBODY ATTENDING WHO WOULD PREFER THE MAIN FIELD)
We have run a poll and its pretty much split down the middle about using either surface so that didnt cast our decision for us lol!!
cheers
Dave and Cobra committee
