Hi Guys,

This topic certainly has brought on some good debate and a lof of "if's and buts"

With all that's been discussed, I honestly think the best thing for our sport to move forward is :-
  • Run 3 - 4 State title events per year
  • Get rid of the wording "at race directors or clubs discretion" in the rules
  • Keep them 4 days if 3-4 each year

I would put my house on the fact if there were only 3 to 4 each year with each state getting a title every 2 years that the numbers would always be above 200 and would make it a lot more viable and financial for each state club to hold the title aswell.

Lets face it at present if you wanted to do all the states and nationals, it is 9 races in 10 months, which if taking 2 days minimum and 3 days maximim off work for each title would require 18 or 27 days annual leave from work!! No one can afford to do that and that is why I feel we really do need to look into where we want to head in our sport.
