Because we have an early National this year (4/5 May) we have asked that any regionals at Southport should be run subsequent to that date. If this was given the OK, then any Southport regional would have light available quite late into the evening and hopefully we could pack in 2WD/4WD together.
I certainly don't like the idea of 10 regional races - too much travel and distraction from club racing. Add to that we have to be closed the week before a National as well as the National weekend. And finally, there are the new Oople Club weekends, of which Southport will run one. In my mind we shouldn't run more than 8 regional races.
The key to all of this is - which are the clubs that will run regionals in 2013? Sort this first then plan backwards.
P.S. if all else fails you can meet at mine - zero cost and free beer.
