I don't know the ins and outs of the situation between all involved but sounds wrong to me..I'm not laying blame at anyone's door.i have my opinions about the situation but I'm keeping them to myself.
the rccaoi ran a couple of rounds last year .one in particular at ballymena where the turn out was very poor..there was a discussion about if there was enough people to even run the meeting..don't think there was enough people to even marshall all posts if I remember correctly ..but we had a talk between the racers and decided to go ahead and run it the best we could..I don't know the rule book but I got the impression that the meeting wasn't fully up to what it takes to run an rccaoi event.i understood finals had to have a full compliment of marshals.. please correct me if I'm wrong but that's the impression I got ..so the drivers decided at the race briefing although it was far from ideal,we had a small turnout of hardcore racers that wanted to race..so it went ahead..
so I suggest why can't something similar happen at the first round at naul..?
let it be put to the racers on the morning what the problems are and find out their views and come to a decision...
And if its still decided unsuitable we are all still there and can race ourselves anyway..
I think the rccaoi need the members more than the club members need the rccaoi going by the very poor attendance at last years series.
if there's not enough entries therefore not enough people to run the meeting safely does that mean no rccaoi series?..
due to my brca commitment I cannot compete in the complete series..but I wish to in the future that's why I'm so concerned..

I think your comments are full of common sense, the problem is common sense is not being applied in this situation.
Of course we need rules so that we all know how to play the game BUT if a particular rule is being applied unfairly or just does not make sense then this is where common sense should apply.
Some racers might say 'it states in the rule book 2.4m and that is that' at one level they are correct but in context of a small country with a VERY small community of RC racers AND limited options when it comes to places to race they are SO wrong, in my opinion.
