I wasn't intending to imply that anyone was excluded.
In the 60's when I first dabbled in slot racing at a commercial raceway I was told that I couldn't enter any open meetings as my cars were unsuitable and I was too slow. As a result I didn't progress any further than paying for an hours track time to trundle round as best I could.
When I started racing again my past experiences made me very apprehensive when others suggested that I should enter some open meetings but times have changed and I have always been made welcome and have enjoyed myself even though I am definitely not the quickest driver on track.
I was hoping my previous post might encourage a few others to take the plunge and have a go by making them aware that all abilities are welcome.
