Seems to me its fairly simple, but obviously this applies from next year as its too late for this one:

1) Central booking in. Really not that hard to arrange a central spreadsheet of who is entered for what. Specific details (transponders, crystals etc) need not be on at this level, its just for numbers.

2) Priority for North West drivers. I'm not suggesting no drivers from other regions but its nuts that once again NW drivers have missed out as all the spaces are full. Of course the discussion of what makes you a NW driver is relevant here.

3) Priority for those entering the minimum 4 qualifying rounds. I don't think demanding the whole series is realistic, but you need 4 scores to get an F grade so if you aren't doing that many you are potentially taking up a space for someone who is.

4) Some sort of prepayment. I know for a fact some drivers have booked in for classes they don't even have a car for yet! There are regularly a good number of no-shows from those pre-booked, and given the speed the spaces are going some drivers are simply booking in without checking dates etc. At present there is little incentive not to do so. There needs to be a way to penalise those who book up spaces they won't actually use, as thats another racer missing out.

I'll be perfectly happy to help with this when the time comes, but this sort of arrangement needs to be in place well in advance.
