I like your line of thought Ken. Problem is word on the street is that NWMS doesn't draw enough entries to justify a third race, or hasn't in the past.
Everything in life is about incentive. How about this:
What if only two races at any given venue may count towards season championship points, and a maximum of ten races can be used for points total. Given five member clubs hosting races, for those that want to pursue a championship, this means that they must support each member club equally.
Or another way to look at it might be, a driver that wins a championship, in addition to the other factors involved in these things, has to also prove their versatility by being good at a wide variety of circuits.
With this arrangement, TC, SCCBC and NWMS, if they chose to do a double race format, would likely see a strong entry total, as the incentive for championship chasing drivers would be extremely high to attend this type of event to collect the two races worth of points in one swoop travel wise. If these clubs also wanted an additional third race in a single race weekend format, this would provide a hedge opportunity for those chasing championships to either improve their finish, or replace a DNF, and/or provide an opportunity to let market forces do their thing.
CSCC and IRDC would be likely to see two single race weekends with good turnout, and perhaps even a third race for championship contenders wanting to improve their finishing order.
Fort those that don't care about points, they can choose to race mostly at one venue, three times, four times, whatever. Let the market forces do their thing.
This schedule could be as streamlined as a 12 race season over 9 weekends. Isn't that enough, considering the stats on attendance? Wouldn't a 9 weekend schedule be attractive to most everyone, including the workers?
Is this a decent mix that allows the clubs in the core to let market forces decide their calendar, as well as contrivances that assist the clubs outside the core to also thrive?
