Default clubs

clubs and the brca need to be involved more stock classes say set motor limits or club days that are specifically designed to get new members into the sport a specific class for new members to run over the winter or summer series of races. I just returning after 20 years out of sport and I finding that there is very few clubs or even the brca that are involved in getting people back or new people interested few clubs run a starter series that has limits to help the new or returning people
york run a 540 sealed can series for 2wd and 17.5t blinky class for 4wd and reading many club websites no other club has this type of series the 540 sealed can is cheap and fun for returning and new members.

so from my point of view clubs and the brca need to be involved more at promoting the sport to encourage new members
we all have to remember not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of pounds on a top car top electronics and be able to jump straight into top racing and not have some one who has raced for a long while shouting at them because they are in race that in reality they shouldnt be in because they have no options to race in a learner class due to

A) clubs not promoting standard/stock class racing
B) no brca sanctioned standard/stock class racing

there are ways to encourage new members but clubs, brca and the members of the clubs need to be more involved to promote the sport by organising club days brca sanctioned events in standard/stock events to get new members into the sport.

on the club front maybe reduce the entrance fees for new people for a week or two or on that type of series for say the first x amount of races those new people race in

on the brca front maybe a series aimed at new racers
