Here are the rules.

Might be an Idea to have a read of these at some point before making proposals.

For example:-

The park ferme rule has been in our rule book since the very first AGM where we set our rules. Would have thought you would have known it was already there Darren!! Granted, I think the rule needs tweeking so people comply with it though.

Juniors already pay a reduced race entry fee.

Not having a pop at anyone just making sure we all know where we are at before we start covering ground that's already been covered.

I'm also failing to see the point of splitting off from the on road section. I can understand why the bikes split off (they are a completely different form of vehicle and are mainly electric) There is no gain for us I can see. It would only cause us a load of work to sort out for no gain.

Could someone please list the benifits to the section if we were on our own.

Hi Steve,

Wot are the differences, benefits?

Hi Bill,
Well first off, if we have our own section we dont have to go through others to try and run our meetings.
The section would run on its own, which its has done for many years until EFRA came along.
The lsor has been going since 2000 and I think its time to have our own.

Steve

Hiya again,

just noticed this after I submited my post.

Bit confused by it really.

Steve, what do you mean by 'we don't have to go through others to run our meetings'?
We don't anyhow do we? As I'm aware the only concesion we make to anyone is that we try to avoid calander clashes with the on road as some drivers race on and off road. The section is already self contained and has it's own rules.

and '......which its has done for many years until EFRA came along.'
EFRA don't tell anyone what to do, do they? We do look towards EFRA rules to form our own, but if no one is bothered about racing in an EFRA Championship then we don't have to. Either we have EFRA races or we don't. They won't care, or force us to do anything.

Not having a go or trying to nit pick, I just want to get me facts straight so I can make an informed vote at the AGM.

Thats correct Nigel both of the above have been in the rules for some time.

Issue with the parc ferme rule at the meetings at the moment is :-
a) getting the drivers to leave their cars their and not walk back to their pits.
b) having a dedicated area track side

With regards junior rates if Twisty can prove he is under 16 then he can go cheaper!!, perhaps we should have over 60's also!!

Bills suggested keeping the races fee constant from mine and fellow racers it would be easier at either £20 or £15, no silly coins!

Dunno if you guys have seen this :-

Basically the section can join and drivers can pre book in.

Race fees could then be £15 pre booked or £20 on the day,for example. (£5 late booking in fee) £5 incentive to be pre booked in and avoid queues at race control!! (Can pre book by post if you don't have a computer) No cash (or very little) to bank either. The race director also can more or less have the heat listings done before he turns up to the track. Clubs can get an idea of numbers turning up for catering/toilet requirements. Could be good huh.

Should make things easier/smoother for everyone for everyone.

Also would be a good place to put results maybe

I'm gonna propose it anyhows.

Nice one for putting a track forward, but you need to be at the AGM.

Steve

PS, Nige we had a booking in site, no one wanted to use it. There is also a place for results..

Do we use this forum to propose our respective clubs for National and EFRA meetings?

If so then I propose Sweetnap Raceway for National and EFRA meetings in 2009.

Many thanks

BB

This park ferme thing worked really well at the recent National. Only thing is all drivers did not do it, so it fell short a little bit. A bit frustrating when you comply, only to end up waiting for other racers to return from their pit after returning their cars. If every body done it, the day would have finished earlier, and ran smoother.

Yes i agree ged, i noticed this too, at the drivers briefing it was stated to use the parc ferme ! how easy is it to put your car down and walk straight out to marshall Question

as said this would speed things up imensly, maybe a penalty should be made to drivers breaking the rule, say a 10 second penalty or something of thier time etc.......... can't have one rule for one and not others Shocked

and it makes no odds at a big meeting as you have loads of time fro recharging and repairs etc........

Like wise to our track - its like F1 tracks - having money and time thrown at it without knowing if the end result will be worth it.

Does a club have to be inspected to see its upto scratch before it can be proposed to join the LS nationals 2009 ?

If so, who do we make the approach to ?

If its of any interest the BRCA Welsh rep and WRCA Vice Chair - Hywel Mills has seen the track.

Hi Tim

Tracks coming along well mate, Nice to see a dirt track again(other than Warstone). Its a shame my cars in bits right now or I would have popped down this weekend. Off to my parents this weekend (about half an hour from you).
A national at your track would mean a comfortable bed and hot meals Very Happy

All the Best for the future Tim
You Know what the say about variety in life Wink

The more tracks there are to race the better. (sayin that I havn't raced much this year Every race day this year has clashed with work Mad

)
Regards Simon
