So you encourage people to attend the nats by running something bigger than a club meet on the same weekend? Strange. With approval for B/L motors in spec classes and Lipo, $ wise it should be heaps cheaper to run now.

Lets be honest, the only way to get experience at title events is to attend them. What you are running is nothing more than a glorified club day. Anyone who is fast will be at the nats, and you only get fast by racing these guys. This appears at face value to be a deliberate act to undermine the national title event on behalf of the Ryde club. I don't race in the dirt, but I would be pissed if you tried this on and I was organising the signature event for EP offroad for the year.

Your actions suggest that there is more than to it than that. It does not strengthen the sport if you are potentially diluting entry to a national title. You seem to be acting for other motivations IMO
