Morning All,
I've a few points starting with where is this astro going to go? We don't really have the space to extend the track.
The second is beginners could be put off by multi surface and jumps. They want to learn and develop car control to get round the track without crashing. They aren't, at this stage anyway, interested in learning to fly doubles.
Last point, Why would astro mean the end of foams? Foams work reasonably well on astro, a chap at SRCC sometimes runs foams at their outdoor track. All a racer will do is look to see which gives the best lap time. If 80 or 90% of the track is flat carpet, cars will still be at min ride height, very firm and on the best tyre for the majority of the track.
Final last point, I promise. As Janice said, the core of the club want to turn up and race in a fun, family environment. They don't want to worry about conforming to rules and specifications. If I'm wrong and they do, why not enforce the BRCA lipo and motor lists? That way we could turn most people away and ruin the club very quickly because it seems to me that's what this and most of the other ill conceived and self serving suggestions will do.
RVRCCC is a great fun club which works. Tinker with the fringe things if you want, any chance of bottles instead of cans in the tuck shop please and maybe add or reduce 20p to a transponder rental but please guys, lets all realise what this very successful club is about and leave the core framework alone.
