Surely if as Lee states extra track width has already got committee approval and just needs buying, then why not buy a roll of astro turf (deep pile) this would then make foams / rubbers much more even and personal preference would prevail. Also There is no issue with the gt12 layout so they won't need to go onto the astro section.
For me the main things are:
1 very poor driver etiquette
2 track is too narrow ( see note above)
3 we end up with poor track layouts where for instance we have opposing direction straights - and are then afraid to change it because we voted on it.
4 the track pieces are now in really poor condition ( largely due to foams )
5 there is not enough off road sections for the buggies
6 the rostron is a little too low
7 cars are run too low - but if you address point 5 this will take car of itself
I enjoy coming to rvrccc for fun racing and long may it continue - it's run really well and with slight tweaks address my point above it would be even more fun.
But don't lose sight of the fact the lower heats and finals are the young talent of the future, after all the best driver in the country and ex world champ came through a local club racing for fun just like this.
