I developed FRC as a place to have great recreational and competitive 1/32 scale motorsport fun without breaking the bank. We've had a lot of that over the more than ten years of it's existence, however there is now a relatively small core group of regulars who attend events.
In an effort to try to encourage more participation, I'm putting out the questionnaire below to you all for your feedback. Hopefully we can find some areas where we can agree to make changes and in so doing, generate renewed enthusiasm for racing at FRC.
Some of the principles I've set from the beginning are:
- Keeping it as an informal group, free of charge for everyone instead of going the formal club route which can lead to unwanted problems.
- Trying to set and maintain classes and rules that relate to real racing over different eras, where basically any slot car can compete fairly and competitively regardless of manufacturer.
- Ensuring that we all have as much fun and camaraderie as possible, while keeping with the competitive nature of racing.
QUESTIONNAIRE:

List the specific changes you would like to see for each class.
Regarding our events:
- How often should we race?
- What day and time (from/to) best suits you?
- How many classes should we race at each event?
- How many races per class?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Here are the results of the class preference question for the responses so far:
Since there are 12 classes, to compute this I assigned 12 points to each person's first choice, going down 1 point for each next position, with the last choice getting 1 point.
