Yes there are drivers who do want to get the best F rating they can, so they can move further up and enter Nationals, but to a lot all they want is to go and race (qualifying is important, but is not really racing).
I am just making the point the EoE has run to 3 + 3 for many years the EoE rules state the format as 3 + 3 and the region has never had a complaint from the BRCA.
If you enter a championship do you not read the rules, format etc. If there was a doubt why leave it the weekend of the race meeting to complain?
At the end of the day whatever is decided will be run and we will all run to that.

Just to note, I was informed in a phone conversation on Wednesday that there were only 3 rounds of qualifying at these regionals. I was unaware of this as I thought the region was following the actual BRCA regional rules and not a set made up within the region. My appologies for not seeing this earlier but as soon as I found out (Wednesday) I contacted Colin, the regional rep and informed him of this, he informed me he would look into the matter so I left it with him.
Nowhere in any of my posts have I mentioned cutting down the amount of racing for the drivers at the Regional events, in fact increasing the amount of qualifying and having 3 legged finals (fun) will surely be a benefit to all racers?
I do feel your comments about the BRCA committee not listening to the opinions of the drivers is very unfare, they do a fantastic (unpaid) job of looking after us racers and should be commended for their hard work.
Hope this gets sorted soon so we can all enjoy (hopefully) more track time
