Russ. Just back from a long, often very wet day at HD. Beowulf managed a win the last race of the day for Historics! He's a happy chappy.

No problem with your sequence, but in your situation the four steps may need to be condensed into two!

1) Contact all FF owners not currently running.

2) Ask WHY they are parked.

When and only when you have contacted them will the way ahead become clearer - but yes, someone needs to run with it initially.

One historic FF driver approached me today and said he'd be quite happy if the moderns were running and that obviously, the Historic FF's are divided. I believe I made the right decision this time, based on historical support, however, a grid of just 11 today lost us money, so the jury is out for an invite next year.
