Col, You asked for reasons why the non attendance. I simply gave you those reasons.
Not once did I say I was speaking for the clubs. I sought permission to air their views of why their members did not attend as requested by yourself.
As for all of my points being refuted did you read clauses ( b ) ( e ) ( g ) in the HeavenVMX address.
You list promotion as the only common denominator. People were very well aware it was on.
If you truly believe 6 and 4.5 minute title races are good value than you are clearly delusional. You also go on to say that lap distance, difficulty/roughness of terrain is also considered. Granted. They should be considered before the Supp Regs are written and then adhered to. Or is the reason that they were completely left off the Supp Regs being that the person writing them did in fact not know the track well enough to put a race duration on it. I am of the belief that race duration listed in the Supp Regs can only be altered if finishing time is not acceptable. Well if you don't list the duration then it can hardly be argued can it.
You originally asked why these clubs did not attend. I gave you the answers straight from their own mouths without any personal views in the hope that you would take it all on board and try to remedy the problem. Well Col that isn't how you operate is it. You just come on here and tell them that their reasons why THEY didn't attend is wrong. If you continue to discount and totally ignore what the public want then be prepared for equal attendance figures at this level of competition in the future.
