It is a forum, people see words, they then put those words together and that equates to someone elses opinion. This is what we did with your
I'm not interested in having people from all over the country visiting our club and racing. We chose a system that is best for our club and our local drivers.
How else exactly are we supposed to take that without mis-quoting you  |
I agree that you have not mis-quoted me here, but it has been taken out of context. I stand by every word I said in that quote in terms of the context that I was saying it.
It was in relation to a discussion about why we chose I-Laps over AMB. Some have said that an AMB system would be the best choice for a club so that anyone visiting would be able to run their existing PT. Well, as I said in my post we made a decision based on sound financial sense for our club and it's members who race week in week out and are fully paid up members to our club. The decision was not taken to please those who currently use AMB systems who might want to come along to our club from time to time in the hope that they can run with the PT they already have.
I appreciate that some may find that offensive, well I'm sorry if you do
. We welcome anyone to come along and we'll have spare I-Laps PT's which can be hired on a race night. Our club rules are clearly stated on our web site and as I have tried to express several times now, we are a new club with limited funds and we cater for those who've raced before but more so we cater for those new to the sport who might feel daunted at attending more well established larger clubs that might have large numbers of drivers who compete at a regional or national level. Our club offers a warm welcome to all.
Yes we do have some club members who do race at other clubs and enjoy travelling further afield and we never stop them from doing that and they also enjoy racing every Friday with us. These guys have AMB PT's and none of them have even questioned the fact that they will now have to purchase an I-Laps PT too to continue racing with us. It's all part of the hobby.
If I-Laps is good enough for 1000's of Americans then it's good enough for our club members and guests here in the UK.
Again, as I've said before, for every 1 negative post about I-Laps, I probably have 2 positive enquiries - there are a lot of clubs watching this space, I-Laps is here to stay
