I have mixed feelings on this line up to be honest. There are some fantastic tracks in that list, but the geographical locations makes me wonder whether it is actually 'my' region. I live in north Northants, so always assumed I would race in the region that included Silverstone, therefore the mid south. With that line up though I am now not so sure. Surrey is 2+ hours from me, Hampshire probably 3+.

There may be many people from various clubs thinking distance may be on the high side but my view is a simple one.

I would rather travel distance and be part of one of the strongest regions in the UK with great tracks rather than round the corner and sort of feel I want more.

All the clubs in our region have excellent personnel and I am sure this is a way forward to making the Mid-South the one to compete in.

Good luck to all the clubs - see you there

Looks an awesome line-up, bring it on!

You could look at other regions close to you and see if their tracks are more local as another option for 2012 regionals ?

Sadly when the country is divied up there are always people going to be in the extremes of the boundries. The midlands is split into two with Mid West and Mid East and for us, since the "bottom" of the UK is wider than the "middle" so to speak, the South is split into three, South West, South East and of course us in the Mid South. For that reason we take up the whole middle chunk of the south of the country and up to where the midlands starts and Northants does fall into this area.

The tracks will be good though as has been said and I am sure it will be as great a series as ever. Gutted to not see Silverstone in there myslef, their events are always top notch and last weekends Area 51 proved that too, and also that Telstar opted not to host any this year too, since that sounded really promising too from Matty. However, we have what we have and I am sure we are in for some great racing......... (all to be confirmed on Monday)

I'm new to this how can I enter these events?

[mattybucks]

That's a good selection of tracks.

Yeah I decided that this year was too soon. We're currently searching for a permanent venue so hopefully next year with a couple of meetings under our belt we can put ourselves up for selection.

Deano, take a shufty at last years thread, http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61900 details will be much the same only the venues and dates will change.

Next week we may have confirmed dates & venues, DMS have online booking, a paper form will be downloadable. All the info you need will be here, soon.

You will need to have BRCA membership, approved batteries, motors etc.
