A few years ago the regionals were half full, now they have a limit on racers, I think things have changed slightly. Why anyone would not want to do a regional I don't understand, outstanding days racing, meet more racers from the area and get an F rateing, a cup of tea and a soggy burger, but if its not for you then its not for you.
This obviously needs to be looked at, and I suppose there must be a process for that (< my point, just to prove I have one), but ain't we lucky to be in a position to do so, and one of the reasons we are is because lots of good people put in a lot of effort to make it so.

Here here! Many club racers have never experienced a larger event such as a regional or national, and really dont know what their missing out on! Looking at the entries for this year, the region looks very healthy and I for one am looking forward to taking part in and watching some great racing.
I understand that some club racers wont be able to get to the regional events for a variety of issues and constraints, but for the sake of the growth of our sport and the friends, fun, and experience that can be gained along the way, i cant see how it's a bad thing for clubs to support each other and promote regional racing.
Just my two cents! I'll go back to my hole now!
