I would like to see the host clubs put forward a team of maybe 3 or 4 people to help with the running of a race meeting. This would be to assist with race timing/refereeing/scrutineering etc.


In future hopefully with more & more people using the online booking in system that the heats could be generated prior to the event. This would allow for timed practice sessions which allows a fairer spread of practice between the drivers.


Also those that do book in online (hopefully everyone in the future) that then decide not to turn up to an event to give notification of their intent not to race. First it's good manors & second it saves any problems during booking in on the day.


I think the contribution to the SORC Kitty by the host clubs should be increased to £40-£50 per event (paid upfront on on the day of the event) as we always seem to have a good turn out (will only get better) & in some cases the host clubs can be taking in over £300. This would allow the SORC more flexibility & would also mean that the drivers would get a little more back for their dedication.


The SORC to be a personal transponder only championship with no handouts. Most drivers have Pt's these days & this also makes the host clubs life much easier. Also now that the rechargeable transponders are obsolete the SORC would inevitably have to go down this road.


In the instance of a 1 car final a meeting with the final of the drivers above ie B final drivers asking to allow the single driver in thus creating a 11 car final. They would all have to agree as the 11th driver obviously can have a huge effect on the outcome of the final, if even 1 should driver should disagree then it would remain as a single car final.
The single car final also poses the problem of having to find 9 volunteer marshalls which is not any easy task.
