Must be very frustrating to all the ORDA committe who spend countless hours to get a race on and that the entrants are low.
What to people want to get them out there racing.
Lets help these people ,lets have some ideas.

Simplify the classes back to basics !! An idea I had some time ago seems to be having a second airing, on the basis that it might not have been quite so daft after all. It does however involve a major reduction in overheads.

Any interested party is more than welcome to contact me for more info !!

Bob

Not just a second airing, maybe the logical, rational way forward.

Bring us all together nationally and get rid of these commercial classes.
