Don't know. I would love people giving honest criticism.
Like Doug for example, he now has plenty of complaints about the SCCA, but when we were actually running, when it could have made a difference, none of that was mentioned.

In the specific example of the 4 runs in the morning for the competition portion, I remember it being asked at almost every event, "Is everyone OK with this format?" and no one said anything negative about it.*

Not intended as 'complaints' merely observations as to why alot of people wouldn't enjoy doing an SCCA event more than once or twice. I did them for fun, sun and comrads. I personally thought the 4 competition runs were realistic for SCCA as they normally only get 3 runs at big events. Would a fun only person come often on street tires? I didn't see alot of new faces there. I personally never had an SCCA competitive car/tires in FL. Still don't.

I liked it because it was close to home and most of the people were nice.

Otherwise I suck.

Not at all...you're the Lunch God...we'd be hungry without you!

All that being said: This might seem counterintuitive, but I *want* to see the SCCA program succeed. There is more than enough room in this "market" for another solid autocross club, and SCCA has a lot to offer that we can't as far as higher-level competition and progression into road racing and such. More power to them, I say!

So... they're holding an event at Brooksville on March 31. That's conveniently right between our March and April events. If you have any interest at all in seeing the SCCA's CFR-West autocross program come back (or even if you just want something to do that weekend), BE THERE! The level of interest in that single event will determine whether they schedule more events in our area in the near future.

Yeah, so why are they scheduling it for EASTER SUNDAY??

No I said the membership and participation is voluntary to remind you that no one is forcing you to comment on the club or come to the events.

Why don't you step up and chair an event. It will give you the opportunity to 'fix' all the issue you bring up in the forums.

and to answer your question;

That's cool how when I say that same thing I am an asshole and when you say it, you are a genius.

Maybe it's because you come across as an abrasive asshole. How about a few examples?

No valuable members have ever come from a novice school.

I think FAST is doing well despite your actions, not because of them.


Like Doug for example, he now has plenty of complaints about the SCCA, but when we were actually running, when it could have made a difference, none of that was mentioned.

So we can go back to every post talking about how awesome we all are. *Group hug*

What's my point?? You can make suggestions or give constructive criticism without being a flaming asshole. You should try it sometime.

I'd say he's blunt more than anything. I rarely ever agree with him but I don't see him as an asshole.

On the other hand, he doesn't have a soul, damn gingers!

He has made suggestions instead of just complaining, which I'm pretty sure that's a fair definition of constructive criticism.

Bruno Bozzetto's movies are hilarious! Thanks for sharing, Doug.
