How do you all feel about them? They are becoming the top posters in our race forum and I believe they should all be banned immediately.

Opinions?

I'm not racing but i think it would be better if the ones who are doing some racing would be more active on the section, instead of just removing the people who post opportunities to go on a track day for example and then having complete silence in the section.

I agree, post those stories, post those videos, post those track-day photos!! I for one like the postings for track days, because I'm always looking for more venues to check out. Also, the race/track sites on Pelican and 944 Spec are no fun either.

We need an "Events" sub-forum to announce track days, get togethers, and other stuff. I don't like the spammer in the Cool Drives forum either.

The competition forum part is getting a lot of junk from the spammers. I don't mind seeing what is happening and what event are coming up, but being in Canada I just don't care to see what is happening in California. If it was used for Race recaps, track day recaps and pictures then, yes that is what I see the forum being all about. So block the spammers and let us keep posting about what we are doing on the track, through the cones and on the rally stages.

Sweet, Peter took care of the commercial posts and posters. Racing forum looks great now, about us and our race cars!

Sadly yeah, it does feel to me like the same stuff over and over again (when I'm posting it) - for better or worse, the old #77 just keeps on ticking (knock on wood)... short of reporting wins, not much to say there... and not every weekend is a winning weekend yet for Mrs924RACR, sadly. Easier said than done!

All the big progress and accomplishments are on my non-924 racer, and I can't imagine the crowd here are really all that interested in something with no more P-car content than perhaps a shared set of CV joints...

Unless you find the trials and tribulations of one of these interesting...
