I am afraid I have bad news from the organizers that it is very unlikely that we will be able to participate in Track Laps at the Classic this year. It seems that the racing schedule has eaten into the track availability and track time for clubs will be severely restricted if not non-existent.
As a consequence we are advising you at the earliest opportunity so that you can make alternative arrangement, if available/appropriate. As stated above there is a VERY SMALL chance that something may become available in due course but it is not a realistic for the club to get involved in this case for a number of reasons.
Firstly the chances are that numbers would be limited and this would need to involve some sort of selection of participants and I do not propose to put myself in a position to get flak from members who think that the rationing of slots would be in some way flawed or fixed.
Secondly the organisation of these Track laps involves a huge amount of time/effort/financial arrangements and this can just about be accommodated if there is time (many, many months , just ask committee members who were involved in previous years). To consider doing this at what would be short notice would be intolerable.
It is with much regret that we advise this bad news but wish you luck with any alternative arrangements that you may be able to make.
