AMEN
Thanks for the comprehensive reply Ian. As you realised, I was trying to be constructive albeit a bit ignorant in this case, and I was not trying in any way to belittle anything our safety crews in general (and that includes the marshals) donate to us from their own time so that we can enjoy our days at the Rock.
Clearly, from your reply, the emphasis on the other formulae using the Rock is symbiotic. Having a way to run your fun formula on such a superb facility is a clear draw. The unfortunate result of such a situation where the oval lovers have to sell their souls to get a meeting leads to the inevitable situation where those who pay the piper can call the tune. To that extent, we have to accept that these additional formulae are enabling us to continue to see our favourites doing their stuff when without them we might not be seeing any racing at all this year. I was not at the Rock on Sunday so have kept out of the whys and wherefores of it. Suffice to say that it beholds those who pay to have their fun on race days to help fund it, to accept that there are some fundamental requirements to running V8s on slicks and to try to accommodate that where possible. I firmly believe that at some point we will be one of the stronger formulae inthe UK and then it will be fun meeting those who we met on the way up coming down.
Thank you ALL for your support over this past week! A strong Fan following behind the Mac Tools V8 Trophy Championship can help make all the difference in the future!Quote:

'keep it coming'
I think I've posted more on this subject than on any other in the last six years. I was so angry seeing the cars lined up and knowing that if they didn't get out soon the rain would beat them.
As an SCSA/Ascar fan that ruined my day... I did see the first race and enjoyed watching Shane catch the field....he was not taking it easy, he had to work hard to get there.
Nonetheless you're right we've go to draw a line under it and hope BRSCC will
listen and learn.
Let's hope the August meeting goes without a hitch and all the teams and drivers give us a day to be proud of.
Yes that was me, and thanks for the compliment. "Harry the Hairy Hat", as he has been called will be at the Rock in August, come and introduce yourself. :wave:Quote:

Has anyone received a reply or seen their response on this issue ?
I certainly haven't.

Excellent arcticle in here: http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/head...ace/index.html
Brian France's comments are really relevant to what we want here, particularly the one about half-way down:
"Our business model is very different from Formula One in how we view the end product," France said. "It has to be close, competitive and cost-effective. That's not on the minds of too many sanctioning bodies around the world."
Sums up some of the European issues pretty well in just those words.
Following on from that paragraph....
"So ... we [need to] find people that are based in these countries that would see our business model and help us develop it. Whether it's South America or Europe or Asia, it has to be somebody who believed in what we believed in and helped us obtain that."
Heloooooo Mr France, helooooooooo! We're here.......
All we need is a "little extra help" from them to get the ball rolling again.
Anyone got his phone number?
