Lee re-read what I put and what Nick has started out with then, I am not being negative at all.............

Nick has started out by saying that "the interest for the track has died off" (I assume he means by racers, lack of meetings etc) I have stated that two meetings were on the calendar for this year for the taking but not wanted/not able (I did put NOT ABLE if you check what I put, since I do understand how much racing you do personnally Lee)

BUT would I be right in one thing, if the boys are "rightly so" trying to save a great track, then surely that would be so it could be used....for meetings. If it is "saved" (so to speak) then would the meetings actually run on it, my point being two were offered for this year but declined (we ended up running the first one at Watford, which had 70 racers, so numbers were good, the second is now at Newbury later in the year)

Again if you read what I have put I have not knocked the track in any way, my actual comment was "The venue is a good facilty allround but only if they are "able" and "want" to run meetings there....." that is not knocking it but in fact praising it.

If the track is dependant on you being there to run it Lee then it is fair to say it is just not viable to continue while you are racing at the level you are, if however it can run with a "team" behind it to do the prep work, managing the club and the admin side (like Trish/John Cockill did for the regionals last year) then that is different altogether.

Dont forget lads, my income and livelyhood relies on model car racing, so I want to see as many tracks as we can squeeze in the country and as many racers as possible enjoying our hobby, if there is no racing then I have no customers.....

As for last weekends track and its readiness I am not in a position to comment since I was not there, but you will always get the "it was the same for everyone, level playing field" and "dont knock those who put the effort in" replies and equally the "it should be to a certain standard" "this is the highest level of our sport, we deserve to have the best" ones too, I'll leave that debate for the Taly thread.....
