Following are the current race night schedules for each class grouping for everyone's easy reference. We can make adjustments if necessary as we go forward.

Looks good to me.

Thanks for your reminder and the schedule looks good. See you soon.

Looking good.

Looking at the fastest lap times, in addition to adding the BTCC class to Class Grouping B, maybe we should move F1 from group B to group C. This will reduce the overall time for group B and would only add a little time to group C, the shortest group time-wise.

What do you guys think?

Hello Gordon,

Here’s an early morning suggestion concerning BTCC racing class even though you’ve (somewhat) put a schedule in place

FRC’s upcoming event RD275 - 08:8:19 (Scratch Built ~ HS, APC & VS6075) and about 3 months ago ...

The Scratch Built class RD269 - 25:4:19 was first raced, basically 6 events gone.

Why not leave the regular 3 class-groupings as is where is and ‘mix and match’ BTCC with Scratch Built racing events ..?

• Group A: Scratch Built / BTCC ~ HS, APC & VS6075
  
  Group B: Scratch Built / BTCC ~ RC, SC & F1
  
  Group C: Scratch Built / BTCC ~ MP, RGT & RLMP

Isn’t BTCC looking like an easier introduction with the Scratch Built class

Luke

Luke, that's a reasonable optional suggestion. I'd like to hear what the other guys think.

Hi I am not in favor of Rotation, let's build and race in order to develop both classes they are introductory classes especially for new people the setup is so simple that anyone can afford. With the new thrust of having longer single races we have given room for this advancement.

Luke's idea is certainly worth considering. Personally I'd like to stick with the Scratch Built class as a regular addition to all our race nights (as is the case currently). The Scratch Built Class cars have a lot more development involved than the fairly stock BTCC Class and I suspect that the guys that have put time into developing them would like to race them as often as possible . If however, this fairly simple BTCC Class could encourage new racers to get involved, or even get past racers to come back to racing at FRC, Then I'd go for Luke's idea.

Hello Gordon,

After RD276 and hosting the BTCC class for the first time ... Hindsight would have it - the regular Scratch Built class wasn’t raced.

However, as intense as the entire event was - you keeping on top of everything. An excellent job done

Nonetheless, while most of us where standing near the Power Base / Controllers ...

You put down the clipboard suddenly and walked passed me, saying to yourself ... ”I need some sort of refreshment from the cooler.”

At the same time - there were other persons being very supportive helping to get things going.

That all said and getting to the point. I would like to suggest (again) a simple idea below with your racing schedule.

• Group A: Scratch Built ~ HS, APC & VS6075
  
  Group B: BTCC ~ RC, SC & F1
  
  Group C: Scratch Built ~ MP, RGT & RLMP

Overall, it could be (like previous class-groupings) an easier routine even though you have officially done otherwise ..?

A simple point to consider

Luke
