We thought that points for your 4 best placed drivers in each class was the best way to go.
VORTEC is about doing your best. Racing the best and beating the best if you can.
I would not blink an eye in sacrificing the trophy in favour of entering as many people from my club as possible. That is far more important, for my members and also the host club in getting as many people there as possible.
At the moment the numbers are so that we are struggling to get 10 for the finals.
How do we get new numbers to club meets without inspiring them to go through the classes when they are only trying to beat 9 others at the VORTEC Inter Club. Having more clubs would be good but how do we start ?
I live in Werribee but there isn't enough people down here that know what they are doing with their cars to start up anything meaningful (me included). The best way to learn is to go to the VORTEC's and ask the GOOD racers (at the moment).
I seen a kid at Castlemaine that was doing OK, but after the VORTEC down there he improved out of sight.
