No it wouldn't fold. Well, it didn't last time Bury pulled out of the Northwest region in favour of racing in the Northeast region. Admittedly, a one club series isn't the best option but it still works. |

My vote:
2WD Sat/4WD Sun say 5 or 6 weekends gives everyone a chance to get F grade if they want it, even if they work regular Sat or Sun. Serious racers can do both if they wish. You need at least 3 from 4; better 3 from 5. But: Let clubs open every week if they wish; some people don't want an F grade, and don't want to travel to race, but they have no option as things are now. That change alone would reduce the numbers booking in to regionals, and may avoid the current problem. In that case I think it may work leaving things as they are currently. |

First cum first served

And ido intend on doing the full regional series cos I want a better f rating this year And was well gutted I missed it last year So Ido agree with Si here that people who do intend to race the full series should be given priority I'm also a bit gutted batly have pulled out as I have heard great things abOut the track and was looking forward to racing it Another great thing about the regionals is that it gives ya the excuse to travel to other tracks and enjoy what they have to offer Or just have massive meetings and charge more so it's very financially benificial to the club to hold a regional event

Other.
There is one simple solution to this fiasco. You NEED a central booking system. From there priority can (and should) be given to people entering all meetings first, enough meetings to complete the series second, and to anyone else third. Booking in needs to open well in advance and close a couple of weeks before the first round with confirmation e-mails sent no later than 1 week after closing. After that it doesn't matter what format is run (as long as the format was clearly advertised before booking in opened). People will have been able to make an informed decision from the info provided, with no "first come first served". Can I close the thread now?

I say stay the same as i for one and i know a few others who run 2wd work saturdays so having two day meetings wouldnt work for us ,and for splitting over sundays that would cut down the number of club days which a lot of lower ability drivers rely on for track time as my 11 yearold daughter does .anyway think this is all pretty pointless as the rds start shortly and nothing will change before then and then this argument will start all over again next year

Plus like the nationals there is no set date when entry is possible, so it wouldn't be a safe way of first come. I will go with what ever is decided and if it means I don't get 4 rounds in to count I will pull out and not do reginals, but I would have to know before rather than later. |

Adding to that, it was really only advertised on Oople, and despite its popularity not all 1/10th racers are on here. Its not like we could even advise non-ooplers at a club meet because we haven't even had one since the dates came out!
First come, first served is fine if everyone has an equal chance to be first, but thats not really the case here. However, I totally agree with Col that central booking in is the key here. With that we can make the best of whatever format we use.

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?

NOT the place for organising BRCA events such as regionals. This should be done at a central location and should have mailshot reminders and notifications sent out to allow people a fair chance at entering. I almost missed out on the regional and as said before 3-4 friends who i like to race with (which is part of the enjoyment) have missed out. |

NW could learn a hell of a lot from the MW.
Their regionals are as good as, if not better than Nationals. Dedicated website Central booking in Mailshots Andrew Jones Referees Scruitineering Dedicated time keeper 3 legged A's The list of pros is endless Last year I stopped racing at the batley regional after round 2 the driving standard was that bad. |

I'm not racing in the regionals but that doesn't mean I won't help out. I'm not that convinced we really need scrutineering in this day and age but can do it if people want.
