They can blame their colleagues for that as this thread wouldn't have gone anywhere without the input from Honda competitors input!

Guess what though...

Jon, I'll add my line to the bottom of my entries:

"The only thing that doesn't change is that change is constant".

You may agree to disagree (again) over which bit, I am not entirley sure, but one thing you will not see from me is personal attack. I ask you! What do you mean by 'wannabe'?

This forum has shown the strength of feeling and commitment that exists out there and should be democratic. When I see people typing shut it down, it becomes censored. Now if people want that becuase they cannot get their own way or provide a reasoned debate then moderate this forum and see it die. It's great. I now get a chance for a beer and run out with Cookee and Insane I think it was. That's what this place is good for!

The ever increasing problem for organisations whether it be Honda, RYA, UIM, WPPA is that they feel they are losing control of communication which they really are and need to adapt and participate. Like HSBC and others using Facebook and other community or social nteworking sites in order to promote and counter negativity through positive adoption. And I know they are watching out there aren't you guys and gals!

Organisations should actively promote policy and comment or they look very weak in the new economy. Not try to stop, like King Canute, a sea of particpation. The same law of libel etc exist here and people should remember that!

The organisations should monitor what is effectively THEIR MARKET PLACE and participate and help faciliate debate. But they'll be too busy being organisations if that makes sense. Their PR people should promote debate as they would learn and probably benefit and we would all feel more included in their policies and decisions.

Not wishing to be a hero but happy to wear the suit if it get's the girl!

I told my missus we shouldn't have gone to Cuba for Christmas and New Year...!!! Do you think a 225 will get me to Cuba? (now there's an heroic idea!) You big engine boys would love it there, no problem with emmissions with all those Chevrolets! Plus Global warming through intensive giant cigar smoking!

"Take me to Cuba!"

we only put out 2 pennith in as we felt wronged by certain comments, this forum should be about building new alliances for the good of the sport none of us think we are above anybody and to race against guys like yourselves would be great we always have upmost respect for other classes, there are people in honda that have come from these other classes......

Titled "how NOT to start a 225 race'! You guys will love it, more kicking bait! Bumped the Germans and crossed in front of 8 boats. But you have to be quick to be in front of them...ah! If only we drove in a straight line!

Sunday's test

Trying a new camera system (www.chasecam.com) at the weekends Delmar Launch.
The quality in the conditions is superb even at this lower resolution setting and no vibration.
No moving parts in the camera recording equipment (just a flash drive)

Good shot of Richard cutting the corners there
