Is this thread just copied from last year!

Let's just get on having a good year and I am sure all the people in the thread will help Stu make any improvements the members want.

Wherever they live

Kind of on the fence with this, but there are a few things that bug me...

People who travel the longer distance to regionals, often they turn up late/later once all the track has been set up etc, then at the end of the day they leave as soon as they have raced and marshalled, again leaving the track and surrounding areas to be put away and tidied by the local region people...

Secondly, a lot of the people i saw at the NW regionals last year from other regions never turned out for a normal club day? So while they say they are supporting the region, really, their not...

Now i get the fact its a long drive home so you want to leave as soon as possible, but so do all the local people who have to pack up at the end of the day... They made the commiment to drive here for 2 hours or however long, tidying up afterwards for 5 mins shouldnt make much difference to the already long drive?

I was trying to keep out of this but......

1) A lot of people posting in here need to have a read of their copy of the BRCA rule book - the Regional series has to be run to the rules in that book.

2) Having done the Regional rep job in the past for a few years, I actually think Stu Evans has done a good job for a long time. IMHO it is because the NW has been run how it has that has made it so popular.

3) I'm sure Stu Wood will do all he can to sort this out - but as he has already posted it will take some time and patience. Some of the stuff posted in this thread just can not happen - I refer you to #1 above.

Who is this "WE" ?

What are "YOU" proposing ?

What do you actually know about the Regional series ? How many have you raced in ?

I can not believe that such a rule that states you get priority to the regional series if you live closer to the region / track is running through your head!

stupid discrimination is what should not be accepted in the region!

I'm one of the committee members for one of the clubs in the region, and I've been asked by some of my clubs members to look into this as they aren't too keen on the current situation.

I've raced in regionals before in two regions (SE and now NW) and whilst I didn't race last year, and won't this year because I disapprove of the way its run, I ran race control (for a while) at our round, and no doubt will again this year.

It should be considered that the only reason there is a series at all is with the support of the clubs involved. If the drivers of the clubs that make up the NW series don't get enough out of it to want to continue, the series dies even though it has good numbers. If our drivers can't enter the local series because its all booked up they are going to start wondering why we bother running it. Yes they could travel to another region, but why should they when the club they are part of, and lend their time to help work, is running a round or two?

Ultimately it NEEDS the support of the NW drivers, even if it also has drivers from other regions entering too.

It's simple you can't stop people racing.
If a yank came over and had a current brca license and wanted to race
In the NW you can't stop them.
The nw clubs can't say who can and can't race.
Only the club can say if they would like to run a metting.
And then only to brca rules.
I think it's totally unfair to try and ban people that have made the effort
To support the nw for years just because they ant nw init.

Stu Wood will do a better job then stu evans has done, I thank stu Evans for his effort and time but also would say he has done a poor job over the last 2 yrs with not addressing this recurring problem.

Stu Evans isn't superman, he has a job and a home life just as his successor Stu Wood. The region will only prosper if it has input from all the clubs. All the clubs involved in the region need to work together to organise and provide a series in which their respective members can compete against each other. This can only ever work if people work together and not leave everything to one individual.

Come on guys, this is getting silly.
Nobody can stop anyone racing!
Regards people outside the region not supporting any of the clubs IN the region then I can remember a curtain Oople tattoo'd person and friends/family coming to Bury on several club days when it was very quiet so full respect to them.

Please guys remember that things may change yet

Just wait and see. You never know.

Topic:- brca regional event oversubscription (north west)

Debate:- ideas to make more places available

Solution :- upto the brca

I feel Si Coe and myself are being singled out as non-northwest haters!!!
This is not the case. We was only thinking aloud/ debating with an open mind to a solution so please less of the witch hunt for what was and is just an opinion.

My comment wasnt aimed at you, sorry if you took offence

Just i have seen SOME drivers act like this, which is a shame.
