rearranged kiddy regional

[losixxx]

so looking at the calender there seems to only 4 possible date's to reschedule the meeting

saturday 16th june (2wd reg at kiddy on the sunday, also bank holiday)

sunday 3rd june

sunday 1st july

sunday 22nd july

my personel preference would be the 16th june, im already racing on the sunday and any other date would loose me another weekend and with only a few weekends off during the season i don't really want to loose one of the few i have. plus it might help the club out with only having to set-up the site once.
i know its going to be difficult to accomodate everyone. the chance's are a few people arnt going to be able to make which ever date is chosen, also we have to bear in mind which date's the club official's are available for!

first choice should read 16th june not 26th may, cheers dave

please only people racing the event to vote, please post why you've voted for the date you have!

[Bathy]

You do know its the 28th of May today yeah?

[tyreman]

I voted to run on th 16th & 17th of June, as it would be good to see if running both classes on one weekend would work in our region.

[_JP_]

I can do any date, as Bri says a weekend meet would be good, but what about the people who travel along way will they be able to camp, would they want to camp

just a thought.

[losixxx]

we've camped there before on a saturday night before a regional so can't see that being a problem.

I've voted for the saturday before the 2wd regional. I am not able to do the 2wd regional but i am advailable to race on the saturday. This has got to be easier for the club imo as it does mean they have only got to get the track ready now for one weekend. This is a difficult situation for some people but i don't think that we wil now be able to get a solution that will suit everyone.

Yea im with you brian i like the idea of a two day meeting, and the weekend of kiddy 2wd regional is perfect it gives people pleanty of time to get sorted and i also think its a possability for next year to, to introduce 2 day regionals. And it also bring's some fun back into racing as people will stay over night so people will socialise instead of leaving the second they finish there final. But the problem may come where some track wont have anywhere for people to stay for example Oswestry is fine and kiddy is fine but it may be a problem at a diffrent track.

16th of June then, as the 22nd's out, and I can't do either of the others!

[ashleyb4]

Its not an all weather track because if it was we wouldnt be in this situation cus the meeting would have been run.

I have voted for the 16th June. Would be ace to have a Mid-West weekend regional event.
Doubt it will happen as quite a few racers work on Sats and find it hard to get time off.

Its an all weather track in the sense that it can be run when it is raining as the track does not cut up and is safe to walk on and race on, unlike the standard grass track. the situation is mainly due to the standing water on the track.

the weekend race meeting would be great, but i already have commitments that weekend, cant even race the sunday

[DaveG28]

Hi,

Have voted for the saturday before the 2wd,but to be honest could make the 1st of July just as easily, maybe it would be best to make it the sunday so more people can make it?

As much as it might be an advantage for me, I don't want to end up higher overall just from getting a good scoring round because less people are there!

I think it needs to be a sunday, whatever date that is as 2 full weekends in a row is a bit much for most people who are at Bury for the national!

[ashleyb4]

Nah two day meeting would be ace come on where is your sence of adventure. These days people seem to have been chickening out of stuff like people saying im not racing if its raining???? Get on with it. It all part of the fun.

[matdodd]

When you work 50+ hours a week Ash and have bills to pay you might get why people dont want to race 2 full weekends in a row!
If you want to pay for my tyres etc to do 2 days at kiddy & stay over then im well up for it

If this the reason it was cancelled? I was still traveling, so missed the discusion by the rostrum.
Why was it cancelled, as there were only a few puddles which could have been brushed off and the light rain?
Can someone clear this up for me please.
Many Thanks also to Phil for his apologies as i was leaving

Copy of e-mail sent today to all Mid-West Regional racers.

Hi All,

As many of you will know the third round of our 4WD championship was cancelled due to appalling weather conditions last weekend, which left the track with standing water on many areas. The decision to reschedule the meeting was taken by the organising club and myself as Regional Rep on the grounds the weather was only going to get worse and only around 50% of the original entry had actually turned up.


I have now spoken with the organising club and other local groups that run championships in our region. The outcome is that the rescheduled date will be Sunday July 1st.

Other Sunday dates were considered, but they were either too short notice or not suitable because of the need to complete the regional series before the End of Season finals. I understand that the idea of a Saturday meeting was a possibility, but it was decided this was unfair on those drivers that either had to work on Saturdays, or didn’t wish to camp/hotel overnight. While on this the topic of two-day meetings, I will be completing a poll of all Mid-West drivers over the next few Regional’s, to gauge your views on the idea, ready for 2008.


So to confirm, the rescheduled date is Sunday July 1st.
Will all originally entered drivers please re-enter via e-mail to me!!!


I have sent this e-mail to my complete address book, but if you could pass on the information of the rescheduled date to any of your fellow club members I would appreciate it.


Many Thanks

Phil Sleigh
BRCA Mid-West Regional Rep.

i understand that it would be difficult for most ppl to get time off. but wouldnt it be better to only have to travel there once more than over an over. im up for a 2day even.

[grindog]
