Roger, That's irrelevant to the point I was hoping to convey. I was trying to highlight that IF the meetings were oversubscribed by people committed to doing the full series (ie: four rounds or more), a decision would have to be made as to who to allow places to. I suggested that the people who should be selected first, should be those hoping to gain F grades 2 through to 4. My point is an F1 driver will have F2 status next year regardless. Considering this, if they subsequently were offered a place in regional series, that would mean there was one less space available for those people trying to attain grades F2-F4.

John (Oscar) was suggesting not allowing F1's to race in the regionals, but then if that F1 had decided to not do the Nationals that year, then they'd have no series to race in.... (as they'd not be doing Nationals through choice and Regionals because they weren't allowed).

Make sense?
Northy, You should be a jounalist I may have said that, but certainly not in the context you allude to. As I have just highlighted above, its my personal opinion that priority should go firstly to someone who has something to gain, over someone who can gain nothing

I did not and never would suggest excluding any individual or group of people from the events.
