Forum Name Change

[JovialJooles]

With the SCSA/V8 Trophy series changing its name to the VSR V8 Trophy, we're thinking it is about time to change the name of the forum.

This will only be a change in the forum name, all urls will remain the same.

So, we thought it only fair to open up a thread for suggestions. The most popular suggestions will then be put to a vote.

Here are our suggestions:

1. V8 Trophy Racing - simply a change to reflect the series name change.[/*:m:3wqw6xvk]
2. US-style racing in the UK - to reflect that we not only talk about the V8s but also the PUTs on this forum.[/*:m:3wqw6xvk]
3. UK V8s & Pick Ups Forum - as 2[/*:m:3wqw6xvk]

We're looking forward to seeing everyone's suggestions

My personal preference is number 3. It reflects most of the subjects of discussion here & also allows for any change in the series' name!

I prefer 2 because it leaves for expansion, where 1 reflects on the V8's only, and 2 pins it V8's an Pickups. We may not be the V8 Trophy for ever, you never know what sponsor is lurking around the corner, and V8 Trophy, VSR, or whatever, may not gel well with their name - so it may require a change.
Hence, 2 is the best of what you have there.

Perhaps "US Style Stockcar Racing in the UK & Europe" should cover it nicely.
Adding the Stockcar in there defines it as what we do, rather than allowing it to be sooooo broad. Don't forget, our crazy colonial cousins will race anything! Though I can't see why we wouldn't want to discuss the idea of Swamp Buggy Racing, or Monster Truck Racing within the Low Emission Zone/Congestion Charge Zone.....

my vote would be for "ASCAR" but i guess the next best thing is....

V8 Trophy & Pick up Trucks................ with robs wording under it
"US Style Stockcar Racing in the UK & Europe"

Ascar V8 trophy
" UK stock car racing"

Would we be allowed to use the ascar word, or is it under licence

Shouldnt we be thinking of the Bigger picture? using the name VSR V8 Trophy on the forum might attract more people to this forum in the future, Both Autosport and motorsport news are writting about VSR V8 Trophy and will do for the rest of 2008! should we not be spreading the word and inviting our fellow VSR boys and girls to come and chat?

Its just a thought!

That's exactly why we've started this debate, Dunc!

If you are going to change the name of this forum I don't see ANY reason for a debate on the name!
Do they call "Nascar" forums "V8 US Racing"?
No, they call them "Nascar"

If the 2008 series is called The VSR V8 Trophy and the marketing and press support us as the The VSR V8 Trophy why should we call the forum something else?

"US Style Stockcar Racing in the UK & Europe" should be the sub heading as put forward by Rob
