Rally History (part III)

[Martin Liddle]

While I'm on, I feel that this thread is getting very long and unwieldy. Should we close it and start a series of threads on the history of individual rallies or series. What do people think?

The posting volume on average is not high and having it in one thread has the advantage of only needing to check a single thread on the relatively infrequent times I drop in. If you split it there could be a vast numbrt of threads, most with very few posts.

[Steve Boyd]

I agree. It's easy to drop in every so often and learn some interesting facts, make the odd contribution and perhaps re-kindle memories. If you try to divide it up into events it becomes difficult to know where to put championship queries. If it's divided into championships where do you put a question about one event over a number of years. As Martin says you would finish up with a lot of short threads as each new question would almost certainly have to start a new thread of its own.

I'm a strong believer in "If it aint broke - don't fix it" so I will leave the thread alone at this stage.

But, can we be sure that someone looking for information on, say, the Acropolis Rally or the Sestieres Rally will know how to look on here? That is the main reason I'm suggesting a split.

No we can't be sure. If Rally History was a Forum in its own right then having lots of threads would be fine but as a relatively small part of a Motor Sport History Forum I fear that they might get lost; open to be persuaded otherwise.

In late 60's there was a crew from Bulgaria K. Agura / A. Agura. Later on Atanas Agura was a driver himself. Who can help me with a christian name of "K" Agura?
