BRCA is an option not a requirement............ great......

Lets look into arranging multiclub insurance that we can all sign up to without the need for the BRCA rules.

IF you want to run BRCA rules. they need to be set ones for each class, not an accross the board for all classes as that clearly is not working and to confusing and contradictive....

We need to encourage more newbies, young and old into the sport. The "rules" that are in place makes it confusing and often puts people off. I have had a recent issue at stotfold, regarding the 3 race before having to sign up to brca and they were a returning driver, being told they were not welcome there. The 3 race rule was decided that it would not count this time as a winter race and the driver was deemed not good enough etc etc, This is NOT the attitude to have and the BRCA rule in place was decided it was not applicable to suit the club that day. Discusting attitude, if the BRCA did not have this "power" then the driver would have been in heat one, like any other new/learning driver and we would have made allowances for them, EVERY LAST ONE OF US STARTED THE SAME DAMN WAY! So the BRCA ruling should not have any say in the new drivers etc, but it did. I do not agree with it.
This instance soured me to the BRCA rules somewhat, and it seems the brca and its "racer" reps, have lost there way somewhat. IN MY OPINION ONLY.
The rules that are enforced by the brca are not representative of the racer community as a whole. not even in the slightest.

The comments about come and vote etc etc, Change the rules etc. unless there is an online/postal vote then it wont happen or change. Regarding the comments about doing it at the time on the day etc, rubbish, the rules are made, written down and appear as hard and fast rules. SO. why can those rules be put to a vote, online, with options on the important/large ones regarding motors, lists, esc's, lipos sacks, 3 race rule, events/sactioned etc etc.... Its because the BRCA have had it the same way for decades and dont want to change.

I for one would like a more open and honest BRCA that allows people from all over the UK to be involved in the "whos in and whos out" vote, as well as an online vote to the "RULES" mentioned.

All clubs should have an open door policy no matter who they are to encourage new/returning drivers and what people are alowed to race etc, Its seems to be all politics and hiding behind rules and "blind/secretive" voting.
Debate continues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
Wrong

a club can be in the BRCA and its members, the only rules that club needs to follow are brca general rules, (then the insurance cover is active)
any motors, any lipo nimh gell cell etc as far as im aware the 3 times rule is only club meetings, if it was a brca sanctioned event (which it must have been to have brca officials turning drivers away!) if it was club officials they are not the brca
