If you are not from either TORCH or SHRCCC then I cannot see your point in all of this to be honest. Ware, DMS and Stotfold already would not be running on regional dates anyhow (they never have), it is only TORCH or SHRCCC who may have alter their plans or way their clubs are run as a result of this and if you race at neither then this does not affect you at all since clubs outside of these 5 can run on any given sunday they like if they are not running regionals

As for being entered for them all already but now you are withdrawing, what on earth is the point of that? You need to look at the bigger picture here, this is all about "suppoting" clubs not taking anything away from them..... If Stotfold, Herts, DMS and say SHRCCC all had a club meeting on the same day as the first regional at TORCH (just as an example), then I can 100% Guarrentee that TORCH would not have anyhwere near the 100 racers booked in like they do already for that event, it would be around half that (at a guess) with the other 50 or so choosing to race at their home club instead. This IS to support the clubs............

EDIT, I see from your first post in this thread your local club is Silverstone, and they will be GREATLY missed in our region this year since they are one of the best clubs around and the track was superb, they will be sorely missed. Your next nearest clubs are Stotfold and Ware but both these clubs would not be running on other regional dates (through choice) so you are not missing out on anything

Thanks Darren

Sorry, carry on guys
