Thanks for the feedback Si, we (the committee) at Caldi and we agree, we are extremely lucky to have such competent and dedicated track builders and we think they do an amazing job.
As I'm sure you are aware there is a great deal that goes on in the background to make sure that we keep most of the members happy most of the time. We discuss comments and opinions of our members on a daily basis and we do our best to keep everyone having as much fun with there toys as we do.
E.g. The winter series this year, several members asked us to run a winter series, so we did. A bunch of members asked for Vintage, so we have it at the winter series.
To come to your point about track design, many of our members have different ideas about what they want from a track. Fast, slow, tight, open, jumpy, flat, grippy, slippy etc. Etc. Our chief designers know this and dedicate time during the Week to come up with a design brief for each Fridays track to give us a track design that is unique every single week. I hope you will agree that the best way to make sure everyone gets a bit of what they want is to have a different track each week, that may be a variation on a them for a few weeks but sooner or later your preferred track type will appear. It would get pretty boring if we had the same thing week in week out. Trust me when I say that every week someone doesn't like something about the track, the race format, the flavour of pop we have, I could go on and on here but the reason for this is because we are all different and that's what makes the world so great.
We do take on board what we here on a Friday and on chat rooms etc. Do we act immediately on what a single person rants about? No, absolutely not. But we take those opinions Put them in the melting pot and they become part of the "MASTER PLAN"
