Well, now outsiders are joining in.....
Seriously, Paul and Richard and one or two others have made some very good points here and people on both sides need to take a breath (I can see why rightly or wrongly the track organizers might get annoyed, but everyone else
) as what could have been constructive criticism to make the 4wd a top event has got way out of hand!
The only thing irking myself having read this is that some people think offroad means it's impossible for a track to be too rough. Please accept some people think otherwise and that there are limits, without having a go and telling them to race tourers and taking the mickey, because it's not what they've asked for at all! Eg the rallying analogy is terrible, really, rally cars would not run on anything like as rough a surface (to scale) and even complain at plenty of track side items (such as concrete blocks) to try to get damaging things removed!!
It's a shame that this has got so bad as so much work was put in, and I'm not commenting having never been there on whether the tracks suitable (I'd love to do 8th there anyway though!), but hopfeully when calmed down everyone will reailse that VERY FEW people complained about the organisation, that some people being told to "try it themselves" actually do spend there time helping tracks organize etc, but also that some criticism of the track has been overboard too probably!
Hope you guys get it sorted, because track surface issues aside the place looks awesome on video
