2009 National Indoor Finals - Cancelled
It is with some regret that I have to announce the cancellation of the National Indoor Finals 2009 to be held at York next weekend (4/5th April).
In view of the low level of entries for the event it was simply not viable for the Club to meet venue costs and the catering providers reasonable expectations. Consequently, rather than run at a loss the club, in consultation with the BRCA 1/10th Off-Road Section, have decided to cancel the event. The official notice of cancellation will appear shortly on the BRCA 1/10th Off-Road web-page but in an attempt to inform the maximum number of entrants as soon as possible this post will proceed that publication. Regional reps will of course refund all entry fees paid. Charlie Fraser Sec. BRCA 1/10th Off-Road Section. |

Real Shame! I bet there are several people wishing that they had booked in for the Players instead now.......

It's a shame; I'm starting to get 'late' entries now.
Maybe it's a bit of a wake up call to these meetings needing entries earlier so the meeting can be confirmed Cheques I have will be destroyed.

Its super sad feel sorry for york more than anything the money made from a national is a great help to any club but also the feeling you get from running a successful national is awsome. I wanted to come but couldnt get the day off work.

Sad for the club....from an older head and maybe a different opinion, these indoor events are scheduled far too late....for sure racers want to get outdoors now and an April date is not the way to go.....no doubt a lot of people would not agree but it's a thought for next years plan.....

Finals
Think it is just a bad year in general. Number of things:
York expensive for accommondation when I looked for the family Too late in the year as outdoor season has started Credit crunch means money is not so much available Distance some have to travel 2 day event means away for whole weekend And i'm sure this is only a few excuses, like I said just a bad year |

Is this likely to happen with any of the forthcoming 'Outdoor' National meetings? is there the same risk of "lack of entries"?? The above is not a dig at the York club or even the BRCA 1/10th OR section, just the words of a really pi$$ed racer. |

I can understand some of the reasoning for the April date. Battery lists is probably one of the main reasons, and also venue availability.
Perhaps a new rule needs proposing that the Indoor Finals run to the forthcoming years battery list This would mean it could be brought forward a few weeks, back to the original 'March' date from years back. |

I thought the indoor finals was run off the previous years battery list so dont see that would effect it. How about a date somewere around new year a few weeks into january? This would then give people enough time to recoperate for the first national.

I really don't see the point of the indoor finals anyway.
Especially in the Northwest, there is not an indoor regional series as there is with the outdoor season - and it's not as if we have to qualify to attend them, making it a pointless meeting in my mind. I don't believe the hobby is any worse off if they are not being held. |

How many regions (apart from the North East) run indoor regionals over the winter?
