Rogers Regional Poll

[AndyG]

my 2p - voted for keeping as is. Both classes on the same day.

John Price makes one key point which I think (again, an opinion) should be fundamental here - the Regional series is there for people wanting to compete in a series of meetings and attain an F rating.

Centralised and advance booking, with advance payment, and advance warning is a pre-requisite, and then you prioritise in order...

1) Those wanting to do all 6, and paying up front
2) All 5
3) The minimum 4
4) Then fill each meeting using members from the host club as a priority.

I won't go into the F1 thing, cos I think it detracts from the key points above!

2p spent.

I've chosen 2WD Saturday from a selfish point of view that I only race one class. At the same time I've withdrawn my entry from the first Southport so one of you lucky peeps will be in now.
Truth is I fully support giving priority to those doing the full series or at least enough for a grade, and whilst I'd dearly love an F rating, it's probably going to be a 4 or 5. Can I take a place at the first round, at the expense of a much better driver that didn't get on oOple so quick, or even someone who can commit to enough rounds already?
With Batley gone and my work still debating if I can have some dates off, I feel guilty to have a slot. I'll have to let it go..
Shame really.

I'm not convinced anybody who isn't online in this day and age is still alive.

N/E have had online pre-booking for years. I still get e-mails telling me booking in has opened and I haven't raced a regional for over 4 years!

Hi Guys,

I am holding an emergency North West meeting this Sat which will have one person from each club attending to talk about this year.
Things may even change yet so could every body just hold on tight untill we have this all organised propper and I will let everybody know as soon as things have been agreed.

Thanks

Bury has 42 members(so far)...3 with no e-mail. So what do I do, go round to them hoping they're in when I call ???

Believe it or not there are people out there who don't want to know when it comes to computers.
Just like some drivers I could mention who don't want to know how to use a screwdriver.

Yes. Just to make sure they're still alive.
Anyone who's not online now is going to get left behind sooner or later. Might as well be 2013

I voted other, keep the format the same except, only allow drivers to race one class! there should be a website for booking in, prebook and prepay, maybe a deposit for every round you want to race in, with a refund if you have too cancel a round as long as your place can be filled, some of people like myself have to work some Sundays, and don't always know when! due to changes in rotors ECT

Roger, That's irrelevant to the point I was hoping to convey. I was trying to highlight that IF the meetings were oversubscribed by people committed to doing the full series (ie: four rounds or more), a decision would have to be made as to who to allow places to. I suggested that the people who should be selected first, should be those hoping to gain F grades 2 through to 4. My point is an F1 driver will have F2 status next year regardless. Considering this, if they subsequently were offered a place in regional series, that would mean there was one less space available for those people trying to attain grades F2-F4.

John (Oscar) was suggesting not allowing F1's to race in the regionals, but then if that F1 had decided to not do the Nationals that year, then they'd have no series to race in.... (as they'd not be doing Nationals through choice and Regionals because they weren't allowed).

Make sense?

Northy, You should be a jounalist I may have said that, but certainly not in the context you allude to. As I have just highlighted above, its my personal opinion that priority should go firstly to someone who has something to gain, over someone who can gain nothing

I did not and never would suggest excluding any individual or group of people from the events.
