How do you feel about tracks who are in the Norcal Series scheduling club races on the same weekend as the Norcal Series races?

Rule #1 

1. Hosting tracks shall not hold any R/C racing events on dates that will conflict with any of the 8 rounds of the Series.

     So rescheduling your club race to Sunday is a work around the rules.

Is this ok? 

How do you thick it effects the track scheduled for that weekend?

Sound off lets here what you think.

if its a rule between the tracks in the series than they should folow the rules and reschedule till sunday, they shouldnt have scheduled that day anyways if it were agreed upon thats bullshit! cause its gonna take racers away from the hosting track..If u are in agreement in a series to have your track host a race than do whats asked or dont ask to be in the series next year.

It doesn't matter if it is the NorCal series or any other series. If a track is a Host Track to any series Race that track should shut down EVERY WEEKEND that the series is racing and try to get all of it's Club Racers to attend these races at the other tracks. The only exclusion to this may be a track like NorCal that offers on-road and also 1/10th scale racing and if that is the case they should not run any classes that are being run in the series. I think it would help to make sure that the series get's plenty of entries throughout the whole series and not just certain tracks.

By changing the race date to Sunday from saturday is still breaking the rules as I know a lot of people that won't risk going to another track and racing on saturday in fear of breaking and not being able to do their normal club race on sunday. 

 Doogie, The rule I posted is the official rule of the Norcal Series. But, It only states the same day as the event.

The rule needs to be changed to same WEEKEND.

OOHh.

+ 1......  I agree no scheduled races on the weekend of a series race. Keep the turnouts up ya kno.......

I don't think that having all participating tracks close down for a weekend is going to increase the turnout at all or by much. The people who are dedicated to the series are going to show up regardless and the people who aren't going to show are still not going to show. Shutting down the tracks that want to have a club race on sunday is only going to hurt racing for the people not interested.

Remember you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. The same applies here, you can shut down club races for the series, but you can't make the club racers race the series.  

John, please dont think i'm bagging on the series, any particular track or person. I'm just trying to engage the conversation by showing a different side. I used to run club races and point series so I'm not opposed to either.

A track will not fall apart if it misses 1 race weekend. - Agreed

If a track can't live without racing for 1 weekend then why join the series - I dont run a track so i cannot comment from an operator point of view, but from what I've seen some people only race at the track that is closest to them and dont care about point series. When i raced at rescue there were people I talked to that wouldnt even go down the hill to PC because rescue was closer and they liked the convenience. I think its because of the "casual racer" the Nor Cal series only really had a hand full of people who attended all the races.  I think most of these people only showed because it came to their local track.  Club race or no club race these "casual racers" aren't going to drive across California to race.
