I would be extremely happy to do two or three rounds here, and two rounds over there, plus another Ovalfest/Motorfest. That would make a good championship.
Sadly that would make it difficult for some of your die hard fans here to follow the whole series. Part of the draw for us is that it is mainly a Rockingham based championship which makes it accessible for us.(aside from the noise, the smell, the atmosphere etc.. :) )Quote:

the sending of emails has to be done with a levelhead please, a lady who is in charge of the cateram's has a recieved a very hostile letter and has left her very upset, this of course is unacceptable and does not promote our cause at all, im told the person in question who sent the email is known to the BRSCC and is from the grandstands, not the teams, and will be contacted.
more to come later about the V8's but right now im too busy mopping up......

Well said Witty.
While I felt, like many others, bitter as hell yesterday, but I would draw the line at bitter and twisted abusive emails or letters of that sort.
Complaints, if lodged, have to be logical, rational, and clear. Not rants, threats, or abusive.

I totally agree Simon. NO, NO, NO.Quote:

Incarace could not hold a candle against the protection and support I get from being a MSA registered marshal.
You will automatically lose the PuT as they are a BARC championship and Sonny is astute enough not to lose that connection especially with the circuits that the PuT have access to by virtue of being a BARC club.
The V8's will flounder, wilt and die without the PuT, they are not strong enough at the moment to go it alone.
Sorry but IMHO it is a no brainer to even consider the idea.
I know the BRSCC people who are running the SCSA championship, talk to them, they listen and take note. Do you remember the debacle of the first meeting last year, virtually every marshal was going to walk and abandon oval racing, a lot did, however the BRSCC listened to our dialogue and changed things quickly to improve matters.
Before anyone thinks of me as a BRSCC stool pigeon let me inform you that I am not a BRSCC member and in general avoid their meetings for personal reasons, but I am ardently enthusiastic of PuT, SCSA V8 oval racing and Rockingham and will do everything that I can to help them flourish.
I have a position where I can communicate with both sides without bias, allegiance or conflict of interest and will assist anyone in overcoming this "glitch".
