I think that such a series could be worked similar to how the entries for BRCA nationals work, but perhaps without completely excluding all F1/2 racers.

For example, priority be given to all entries from F345 drivers, with possible guest heats for higher grade drivers if they wish to enter and if places are available. I do think that lower grade drivers value opportunities to race amongst the F1/2 drivers - what about a wildcard F1 placed in each heat for a laugh? then running in different finals. Just a thought.

In the national series the F3-5 drivers aren't excluded as such, but generally only likely to get in from the reserve list due to high subscription from top grade drivers.
You could allow a percentage of F1 and 2's, with the rest of the drivers being 345's. The only issue I can see is that if any series does not shaddow the nationals then the already heavily congested summer race calendar will be full of Nationals, 345's, and regionals. Add into the mix the unwritten rule about clubs not running the same day as regionals in the mid south region then the clubs who are not part of the series, regionals and nationals could really struggle in terms numbers attending your run of the mill club days.
