Proposed new class groupings for 2014

Guys, Ramesh has suggested that we race no more than two classes at our regular events, something that I tend to agree with. Here therefore are my proposed class groupings for 2014:
A. Mini Challenge / Rally Car
B. Restricted GT / Slot.It Challenge
C. Porsche Cup / Historic Saloon
D. F1 / American Muscle
E. Ferrari Team Challenge / Vintage Sports
F. GT / LMP
G. Lambo Series / Group 5 Sports Car
H. Nissan GT-R Super Series / Modified Production
This means that class groups will have an eight week cycle - classes will be raced every eight weeks. Assuming we race 40 times next year, each class will have five events/rounds.
Please leave your thoughts below.
Gordon

Gordon,
It would have been nice to include the the guys who race in the race regulation changes.

GG - I have no probs with 2 classes per event or how long any class takes to come along in a "8 week" cycle but I believe the 50,60 & 70 classes plus AM, GT & LMP "open" classes should stick together...
So, here is my proposed 2014 class groupings.
A. Vintage Sports/50s - Historic Saloon/60s - G5SC/70s
B. Mini "IROC" Challenge - Rally Car
C. Ferrari "IROC" Team Challenge - F1
D. Porsche "IROC" Cup - Modified Production
E. Lambo "IROC" Series - Restricted GT
F. Nissan GT-R "IROC" Super Series - Slot.It Challenge
G. American Muscle - GT - LMP
Dont you find its looking very neat with the (5 back to back) IROC events, plus easy for one to remember you just need to bring/perpare one personal car ~ what do you or anyone else think..?

Hey Arden - You forgetting something about being a boss like youself here, when yuh is the boss - yuh is the boss or in other words "what the boss says - goes..." Ent
Some or many might not subscribe to that but I have learnt to work with such a policy ~ let it be because we all have to work with it for 2014 and then anyone can come up with other points for improvments.
Whats yuh take on that

Luke,
When you work with large companies you learn a lot especially in management. It is good to listen sometimes. We may have good ideas, but that does not mean it is the best idea or way of doing things. The wise one is one who listen and then speak.
Do you want to be fine tuning cars for every change in regulation?
Hope you learn something. LOL.

Arden,
That's what you making a big problem out of
Fine tuning slot cars with every racing regulation change
Here is a Simple Solution - FRC may have (with 5th. IROC) 16 classes in 2014 so just choose the ones you enjoy working on to race. How ah sounding for somebody who doesnt work in a "large" company? heheheh
Doc, not everybody working in that type of company you know and remember we only dealing with 1/32 "small" toy cars here & not the 1/1 "big" ones plus you dont need to be anywhere special to learn to listen... and then speak. That could be learnt just about anytime in one's life ent
Let me ask you this - If TSCC had to make changes with their racing regs, that would be for Ramesh and you to do right and then let all racers know afterwards... I dont think FIA makes changes to theirs and ask Hamilton, Kimi or even Alonso for help with it
One more thing - I am trying my best to encourage & not discourage here but must let you know, take that
"large company" behavior and put it where the sun dont shine
BTW on a different topic - What do you think about my proposed 2014 class groupings..?

Luke,
Response to your grouping.
Hey Luke- You forgetting something about being a boss, when yuh is the boss - in other words "what the boss says - goes..." Ent
Remember your words.
I agree with Gordon grouping.
Nothing more to say.
Topic closed for me.
