Eric has the interest of all the drivers at our club at heart, but you can't please all.
I like the idea of keeping the A,B,C. format, this will give lower and middle ability drivers the chance of a trophy.
The racers that will miss out are the higher ability ones that only run 2WD, they will always be in the A league but no chance of beating the 4WD drivers.
This could push them into buying 4WD or not racing at our club.
My plan would be keep the A,B,C format on ability, giving the shield to the top of each league and trophies to 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed drivers like we do now, AND give 1st 2nd and 3rd trophies to the highest placed 2WD in each league. We could do this manually if we have a list of drivers that ONLY race 2WD.
This of course will increase the cost to the club, and because we have lowered our income by means of tickets for the youngsters and opening up the membership to all. To offset the cost we could run 2 comps a year.
The leagues on the website would only show the overall standings as it would be to complicated to split them. Putting a list of 2WD drivers up is all you will need to to see were you are.
If you are someone that flits between 2 and 4WD them you will be classed as 4WD only.
I didn't have chance to speak to Eric on Friday about this so there might be a good reason not to go with this plan, if so we run with A,B,C. only.
Have a great Easter
See you on the 12th April
Peter
