Good Spot Tom. I remember talk about that one (or similar) but had forgotten that it got carried. May help Nick?

Carl, Dave was just checking to make sure he understood the entry rules correctly, he was only seeking clarification prior to filling in his entry form. I think that's only fair as he probably doesn't want to be taking up space in events that he may not be able to attend.

The information below is quoted from the BRCA handbook (2007), I haven't researched whether any of these rules have changed, so if anyone knows otherwise please correct me.

Quote:
5.4 Entry to the National Series will be given to
drivers in the following order (a-f):-

a) Priority in each class, will be given to drivers
who enter a minimum of 66% of events in that
class
, in the following order : F1, F2, F3, F4, F5.

b) Any remaining places in each class will be
given to drivers entering less than 66% of
events in that class in the following order : F1,
F2, F3, F4, F5.

c) Eligible entries not gaining places (from (a) &
(b) above) will be placed on the National
reserve list. Entries placed on the National
reserve list at entry closing date will also be
allocated in the same priority of (a) and (b)
above, any entries having similar priority will be
allocated in the order of date received.
Any entries received after the official closing date
will be allocated in the order of date received.

d) Entries sent after the official closing date (as
stated on the official entry form), must be sent
to the central booking address for arrival no
later than four weeks before any event.

e) Entries made within four weeks of an event
to be sent direct to the Timekeeper.

f) Entries may be accepted on the day of an
event.
The order of priority of accepting entries is in
the order of (a) to (f). Entries on the day or late
arrivals may have to forego practice.

5.5 Competitors who officially enter a National
event and fail to attend without prior notice
being given, may be removed (at the committee’s
discretion) from the normal seeding
process at the next event attended. This procedure
could be carried to the following year.

5.6 The minimum number of trophies to be
awarded at a National event will be as follows:
Top under 13 driver, Top F5 driver, Top F4 driver,
Top F3 driver, Top F2 driver, TQ driver and A
Final winner.
The presentations of the first 5 of
these trophies will be made before the start of
the second leg of the A final. The remaining trophies
will be presented at the end of the event.
5.7 The National Championship will be to
Modified and Brushless Motor rules only.

Hey Nick,

Definately worth you entering, as you finished 7th in the 2WD championship back in '98, so you'll now be an F3 due to this new rule 21.1

that is exactly what I'm saying and yes we have had at least one guy who gained entry to all the nationals 3 years in a row who was an F5 with very limited racing experience. So surely this means the size of the region you race in does come into it?

There is also the the entry to all nationals factor, last year as an F4 we only applied for 3 (less than the 66%) so would not have scored points towards the championship, we were well down the reserve list and did not attend any.
