I haven't been to a meeting this year, and have kind of retired from this level of competition. So I'm not the best person to judge what's happened and why.
But I will say that in the heat of the action, things are said and reacted to, and while it's unfortunate, it is a part of the nature of the sport. It's a fast competitive environment and its what makes the sport exciting. Sometimes the pressures make people say things they regret later.
I think the Scottish scene is getting better every year, the tracks, the organisation and the competition is looking bigger and better, and the facilities just get better as well.
Maybe if there was a complaints form on the sorcinfo.org website, that would help people post their grievances after a meeting, without having to post things on a public forum.
I know it's frustrating when you are annoyed by something that happened, and if there was a way to vent, directly to the committee, wouldn't that be better than an Oople comment?
The complainant then knows it's going to be read, knows it has to be discussed at the next meeting and knows an action or a response has to come back to them.
That would do a lot to help people's frustrations and if these complaints/actions/responses are documented and distributed at the AGM, then surely the racers would have confidence in a system that has accountability and is making changes to make the entire "show" so much better?
This is just a suggestion and it wouldn't take much to setup a form that emails the SORC committee one email per valid submission. It might help...
