I will try to answer a few questions for those that don't race in our region.

1st off, we run both classes on the same day as when the AGM took place I don't think anyone would believe the numbers we are getting this year, if we had run 2wd and 4wd on different sundays last year we would have got about 12 people at 2wd and 8 in 4wd...makes for a dull day. this is also the reason short course was brought in to the region, to boost attendance as in general it was a case of getting as many people to race as possible....then out of the blue 50+ booked into the 1st meeting
now yer the region could dump short course half way through, nice for those who spent a small fortune on one to race.

2nd on the marshal front, yer I understand due to the fact both classes are run on the same day you have a right to race, but some of the clubs don't have more than 3 to 4 people at the venue, so sorting a volunteer from the club can be tricky. but not impossible but will lengthen the time the meeting will take as you will have to delay to find marshals to cover empty points.....this means the meeting will take hours, and it would seem from the last meeting some racers don't want to be home late, but thats another bag of worms.

3rd would be interesting to see if the numbers held up if we were to separate the classes to different meetings on different days as I wonder how many would dump a class as they wouldn't want all the extra travel??? i know I would have to as my son races 2wd and I race 4wd so I can watch him race, I would have to dump 4wd as I live 90+miles each way from most meetings and simple cant aford the cost of travel or the extra sundays
