Default opening of regionals booking in

Well I wasn't even aware that they had opened until late last week when pimlot let me know, but of course then I was to late to book in for southport.
I surpose it was my own fault for not going on oople for over a week, Eric has booked me in for the second round but I don't know if I've got into bury yet. If not I won't bother doing any of the series and just do some club racing.
It is surposed to fun and not a cut throuhgt.
I really enjoy racing but with some of the bad drivers that raced last coming to reginals again I don't know if I should even bother and yes there is ALOT OF CRAP put on the forum.

The myster is Mr Mike Bradbury who has been racing in the NW longer than Noah has been rowing an Ark.

Mike is not the only person i know who has not been on oople and has missed this free for all. There are about 3-4 friends who have also missed out.

Its a real shame that the region has come to this. With no email notifications or such for entries being open it comes down to who goes on oople to accept who can or cant race.

I'm sure if they were closer he would still be doing them

How many people normally do enough rounds to count in you regionals mate? as looking from the outside it seams like there always over subscribed.

Thanks for that Mike I agree fully with you, but of course people doing at least 4 rounds should get priority over people doing less.
We all know that money has a lot to do with it know with the price of fuel and of course everything else going up in price also.
If it had been thought out who ever is in charge this is, abouit how many people would be attending the series and try to sort a way in which everyone who wants to do N-WEST should be able to.
I'm not saying it would have been easy but putting a notice on oople at the start of the year would have given time to help sort things out.
I know things are still up in the air at the moment and with Batley pulling out as well it can't all be put on WOODY ERIC ROGER and who ever runs Southlakes.....

OK, My view.
Entries should be made through your local club like the old days.
Keith Meredith and Bob Gregory (RIP) used to do a fantastic job for Leigh Car club, collecting names and money in advance.
I'll hold my hands up, I'm too lazy to do it the way they did it.
Far easier to sit on my arse and let the names roll/e-mail in.
Lack of numbers in previous years has lead to the state we're in so let's change it, for the better.
Somebody start one of those voting thingies.
.....all in favour of......separate days for 2wd and 4wd
............................limited entries with both classes on the same day
...................2 of three to count (as in separate classes each day)
.........or each club running 4 events (2 2wd + 2 4wd) and 4 to count(4of6)

Remember this forum does not reach everybody

I suppose you need to sort out what you really want. If you look at the southport entry list over 40 drivers are booked into 2 classes so even though it shows 143 entries it is actually only 100 drivers. do you let more people race by only allowing people to do 1 class afterall you can get your "f" grade on either class no need to do both. Making the choice would open up the meetings to another 20 competitors without over filling the meeting.This is what we done many years ago when the offroad boom started, my personal feelings are to limit competitors to 1 class only and get more people racing.

Limiting drivers to doing only one class in a regional series is just a joke.

This answer is usually suggested by people who only have one car too, so it doesnt effect them.

Also racing 1 class in a 12 heat meeting means waiting around for an hour and a half between races - at the first Southport regional 2 years back I dismantled and rebuilt my XX4 between rounds. It wasn't broken, I just had so much time it kill I thought why not!
