with all these threads on the same subject I could knit a scarf.
But hopefully it will let the BRSCC see the strength of feeling from the fans on the subject of their incompetence regarding SCSA/V8

OK, I admit it, I'm blue in the face now...Quote:

If you are referring to Saturday, the track was still damp when they went out, and the dryer it got, the faster the cars got. If you are referring to Sunday, I wasn't there but I suspect it would be the same case.Quote:

You are assuming that BRSCC read this forum..?Quote:

Just a thought...
I wonder if we are getting closer to the formation of a new club?
One that can promote the interests of PUT and SCSA and take over the running of the race weekends with the focus being on the oval rather than the infield and the traditional circuit club boys?
I wonder how feasible this is?
Could this solve the MSA licence issue also?
Motorfest isn't organised by BRSCC, it's organised by people focussed on oval racing...Quote:

1) The V8's are a support series to the pickups.
2) At the moment the V8's seem to be putting on an off pace demonstration of formation driving for the first two thirds of the race distance (how else was Shane able to catch the pack so easely only to reduce his pace to the packs when he caught them, at the speed he was laping at he could have breezed past all of them). It is not proper racing, so don't kid ourselves that it is, its just putting on a show which in itself is probably a good thing as watching Colin disappear into the distance from lap 1 is not a good idea.
3) I was as suprised as anyone that the V8's did not follow the first Pickup race but when you consider 40 odd Caterham drivers against 10 V8 drivers.... I think you get the jist.
4) The most important fact has been overlooked. IF the V8's had raced after the first PuT race it would have made the PuT's second race start later and we would have been denied what turned out to be the best race of the weekend because the rain would have interveaned.
5) There was only 10 minutes left before the curfew when the race was brought to a halt
6) The BRSCC run a race meeting for ALL competitors and must not show favoritism to any class of car.
The old saying that you can't please all of the people all of the time comes to mind.
I'm now donning my orange again to show that we had a fraught day as well.
1) We had to make an extra trip to the oval for the change at the start of the day.
2) We had to stay on post while the two wheel activity took place. Why was that not held during the dinner break. More to the point, why was it held at all, it was a CAR meeting!
3) Because of the above we had just enough time to get back to the paddock, grab some sandwiches and then back on post-no dinner BREAK!
4) Some other things that I am not prepared to go into made the whole day very exhausting and at times considerably stressfull.
I love oval racing and in my roll as a Post Marshal, Turn 1 observer and yes, even down to driving the bus, I am fully commited to try and make it work.
However even with that said I sometimes ask myself if my efforts are worth it and would my marshalling services be better directed at more popular meetings that clash with the Rockingham weekends. Will I be back in August............of course, Im a Rockingham Oval Marshal-it says so on my hat!!
So how about a 'mini' Motorfest every month? A scaled down, one day event (with qualifying on the Saturday for those who need it)...Quote:

The idea of a regular " Mini" Motorfest as outlined by Abo culminatinng in a season spectacular in Sept. sounds like an idea worth investigating.
If it works it would bring the short and long oval fans together for the benefit of both .
Well worth checking out.
As for BRSCC officials seeing this forum I'm pretty sure the guy who looks after season passes certainly views even if he doesn't contribute.
i agreeQuote:
