There has been recent discussion re. the format of the class structure at this years Regionals and the incorporation of the SCT/Truck class into the Region.
2010 BRCA SE Regional events will now take the following formats:
2WD Regionals + Open Class (for 4WD buggies ) + SCT/Truck Class (for 2WD SCT/Trucks ONLY, scoring points towards ‘unofficial’ Regional Championship)
4WD Regionals + Open Class (for 2WD buggies + SCT/Truck Class, should any want to PRACTICE ONLY)
As previous years ALL classes will be run to BRCA Modified Rules (both brushed & brushless motors allowed). There is no provision for Stock Motors, other than running in the non-points scoring Open Class.
This is different to the format that was discussed at the Regional meeting and publicised above.
Equally different is that, should they want to, drivers WILL now be allowed to compete in more than one class at these events.
There are many reasons for these changes which include: the increase in popularity of the SCT/Truck class and it therefore being aligned to both it’s comparable class and also that class which has fewer drivers thereby allowing clubs the time to incorporate the additional heats; there are very limited numbers of drivers that want to do more than one class on any one day and most of them are too quick for there to be an impact on the remainder of us, however much track time they have; allowing additional classes and multiple classes will potentially increase the revenue to clubs, always a good thing, especially to those that are in an embryonic state! And this is, I believe, how other Regions, that are incorporating SCT/Trucks into their areas, are now running their events.
This proposal has been discussed and agreed by ALL participating clubs: FORCC; EPR; Plough Raceway and KMRC and indeed the section PRO.
Thanks and hope to see you all Sunday (whatever class you want to run!)
