I've been on the forums on and off now for a couple of months and they're completely dead. I for one am gutted at the decline of the Once Biggest Club in Scotland, which in its day could have 55-60 people racing on a friday and the other guys doing their thing on a sunday.I noticed in the middle of last year just after the second charity event didn't go quite as planned that numbers were starting to dwindle. It was alarming at the rate they started to drop off at but myself and a core of members tried to keep the spirits and morale up of the few that were going everyweek which was hard. It then got to the stage where it didn't matter what was to be tried to get the numbers up, the interest just wasn't there.
Due to work commitments i was unable to race on a friday night which was a shame as i loved the Touring Car Action and i moved over to Offroad Racing. Offroad has been a revelation to me and my son. The racing's really close and exciting and a little unpredictable. The track's we're running on are superb with John Allan building some awesome indoor and outdoor tracks. NORA in Dunfermline is taking shape and turning into a classy exciting race venue. 2nd round was held there yesterday and the track since the first visit has changed massively. This venue let me tell you is gonna get better and better.
My main point in posting on here is that i think we as Falkirk Radio Car Club should be promoting Offroad Racing and embracing the change towards this class of racing. I think these forums should be made up to date with the focus primarily Offroad Racing, both 4wd and 2wd. The forums need a serious Revamp and quickly. We as a club are paying for these forums at a cost and if they're sitting totally dead no-one will visit them. I know the main Moderator and Webmaster David has been really busy with Uni and life and so on and does struggle to give the forums the time that they sometimes deserve so please don't anyone think it's a pop or a go at David because after all he gave up his time without anything in return. I can't thank him enough for his time and effort with these forums. I'm going to speak to John Allan (Chairman) and see what ideas he has, after all people do still visit and join the forums but there's not much for them to see at the moment and that's something worth sorting in my opinion.
