Is this section fizzling out?

Is the racing section fizzling out? I do not see much action on it anymore. Your thoughts.

It looks like our T1 racers have taken a powder, and nothing from DJWORM for a long-time.

Rules changed, and they can't post street races anymore. That also brought the number down.

I scan the posts every day. If there is something that isn't covered I chime in.

Remember it is October and the start of the winter building season.

I also notice that in the past year a lot of Racing questions are posted and answered in the both Pit Road sections. Maybe the Mods should edit those to this Forum. That's what I did when I was a Mod

I know the mods are sick of me, but I think event dates and announcements should be in this section.

When that is allowed, their is invetibably tremendous pre-event discussion and post event discussion, pictures, friendly smack talk, etc.

Allowing for race and HPDE event posting in this section will help revive the Racing Forum in my opinion.

It's October!

Come on. Get real. It's October and a bunch of us either have our cars in the shop or on the rack or on the stands. Serious prep is underway!

No question that a section specifically devoted to racing should post event information here. This is where I look, not in an events section. Let reason reign.

Or worse... still sitting on a trailer in a slightly less than usable condition.

FYI, the SCCA Runoffs were this week and most of the T1 guys might not have had computer access out there in Topeka. For those that might not have seen in yet, Lance Knupp won the SCCA Touring One class in a C5 Z06 in surprise fashion as Viper covered four of the top five qualifying positions and a Ferrari 360 the other. Lance won from 6th in what had to have been a spectacular race. Wish I could've been there.
