Default RS Owners Days

I think that all rs owner days at track venues, still keeping the rs trend should be allowed to make the track action into a track day for all types.
I say this because when at castle combe this last weekend and at previous, the track action can be a bit on the slow side.
Maybe because when you buy track time it is for all day at a cost of £100 plus, and for some people cannot afford this.
But if treated like an action day and buy track time per 15min intervals a lot more different drivers would take part.
Not just that not every body wants to use there car all day around the track given it beans.
But I still insisit that the day is still RS maintained as like stands, owners clubs, parade laps

Far too much organisation imo.... having organised 2 days at Bedford Autodrome it's hard enough to sort out 80 cars for a whole day let along 100's of cars for 15 minute sessions.

Lets say 3 sessions an hour 20 cars per session = 60 cars per hour x 8 hours gives you 480 cars potentially

Good idea IMHO - certainly understand Steve's concern's, but Castle Combe seem to manage 15 min sessions at £30 a pop on their normal Action Days with no problems.

Would love to get involved in running just such a track day.
