Dear oh dear!!
I think people should be commended for speaking their opinions and so on and I know too well that I sometimes speak and it gets me in trouble!!
I have a suggestion for the clubs, respective members of those clubs and drivers in general.
It has to be clarified from the start though that it is just a suggestion and the clubs would have to verify this idea with Keith W. our regional rep and amongst all the clubs.
Now for sure 1/10th is on the up and people, especially after this discussion, are more than aware how the BRCA and certainly the clubs from the mid-south want to make the sport grow, but there may be an argument for the increasing club driver that just doesn’t want to do regional events and no matter how many times we explain that this is the right way, he just doesn’t want to do them. Cannot personally understand why not, as the regional events cater for every level and it is really the best way forward.
Here we go!
On a regional event date
Clubs cannot run the same class as the relevant regional at their club meetings.
In other words they can run their clubs but not the same class as the regional event.
2wd regional, only 4wd cars at other club meetings.
4wd regional, only 2wd cars at other club meetings.
The accepted agreement to also extend to, no club can run same class as their coming up regional, 7 days prior to that regional event and that includes the Sunday prior to the event.
Just to clarify so there are no misunderstandings although I think it's clear.
If there is a 4wd lets say next weekend at the Surrey and Hants club.
I pick this club as Neil advertised Tues, Thurs and Sundays, 51 weeks of the year (LOL – you can all attack me later when I pop down, weather permitting)
They (S&H) cannot run 4wd cars the Sunday before the event or at anytime within 7 days leading up to the event.
All other clubs can do their normal thing but cannot run 4wd cars AT ALL on the Sunday of the S&H 4wd regional event.
Any club found to break the agreement then instantaneously looses all rights to regional events and all events are rescheduled to clubs that can run them.
How is that?
I think this can encourage any club members at respective clubs to get hold of the other class cars. Let’s say they only drive a 2wd then they might consider the 4wd too or visa versa.
I also think for the clubs that are putting in big efforts for the regional events like I know some are, they don’t feel they will loose anything.
The club racer can then stay at his club (skye) and everyone is happy. Only joking!!!
I can’t really see many negatives in that suggestion and it keeps the tradition of the mid-south too.
