Yes, that's great news. Just goes to show that the big corporations have faith in the SCSA model. Lots of doom and gloom has been cast over the series in recent months, some right jeremiah's on here!

I'm still working on getting there sometime this season (behind the wheel - not only for the rookie training, but for at least one meeting)

Let's hope that the BRSCC's idea of "exciting" support races are the same as the rest of us, and not 5 car fields of nothingness.

I wouldn't hold your breath with the BRSCC

Certainly good to see some positive news about SCSA

ss_collins · 9 Jan 2006, 17:44 (Ref:1497963)

Isn't the BRSCC a touch of death?

That is my feeling Sam. The BRSCC have a trackr record of killing good championships with silly modifcations that are cosmetic

gwar · 9 Jan 2006, 18:55 (Ref:1498012)

Yes its good to see good news about SCSA, i one hope the series can go from strength to strength, and hope that rockingham can stay around for a very long time...i believe its the best circuit in the uk..
Its a shame that with good news, some people have to doom monger,

Ian Sowman · 9 Jan 2006, 19:15 (Ref:1498023)

Given that one of the directors of the company that now owns the series is also a director of the BRSCC, and runs a large team in SCSA, I would think that he would be particularly keen for it to flourish!

Minicross424 · 9 Jan 2006, 19:49 (Ref:1498057)

This is a great boost and im very glad that scsa will survive.
The new format sounds interesting as well.
I will be there.

Strange though that the statement from the BRSCC said they "hoped that the SCSA would be able to be part of the Thunder Sunday weekends"??? I would have thought there'd be a little more joined up thinking about it all. The MN statement made me think that SCSA all but dead in the water.

R59 · 9 Jan 2006, 21:31 (Ref:1498122)

Thankfully, the BRSCC are ONLY running the races that fill in the gaps between the SCSA sanctioned races (SCSA, Pickups).

I would guess that their best bet would be to run an open saloons race at each meeting, as they always get good grids, plus something else, maybe an open single seaters?????????????

You know my evil thoughts!

Rob.

ss_collins · 9 Jan 2006, 22:45 (Ref:1498183)

evil or what I tend to call - good.

No I cannot think of one good thing to say about that club - anyone help?

Nope, their statement says that they are "promoters and organisers" of the Thunder Sunday meetings. This is a bigger role than BARC previously carried out where they organised the meetings of behalf of Rockingham as promoters. Now perhaps the statement that was made was misleading or even incorrect......but "promoters and organisers" sounds like it's now their ball to do what they want with.

Cynic · 10 Jan 2006, 10:23 (Ref:1498455)

According to one of the team bosses, BARC still hold the permits for both SCSA and pickups. I guess this may mean that although BRSCC will be running and promoting the support races BARC will still be responsible for the oval. Could lead to a worrying case of too many cooks though.....

It will be interesting to see what happens. BARC do not have any of the SCSA dates on the marshalling availability forms sent out last week.

I've seen those posts and TBH it sounds unlikely to me - although perhaps someone has insider knowledge and i'm wrong. BARC might hold the permits but I don't think that this means that they have to physically run the series and provide the Clerks - lots of series are run by different clubs over a season - sometimes they have a permanent clerk and sometimes they don't.

BARC, I would imagine would want to be paid to provide staff and if the BRSCC are also providing Clerks for the support races it would lead to a doubling of expenses and that seems pretty pointless.

Fay,

Are you being a little coy and maybe holding some cards firmly to your chest?

That is the $64K question that nobody is putting any answers to. Hence my curiosity.

Would there be any chance of a weekend during the season where they use the in-feild section now that racing at the MSV tracks plans fell through?
It would seem good so the Rockingham regular fans wouldn't have to travel the length of the country to see the action.
But good to see that its IMMEDIATE future has been saved.

Tracey · 13 Jan 2006, 00:09 (Ref:1500272)

Hmmmm. BRSCC East Anglia have had a couple of meetings at Rockingham - and next to no marshals. It could prove interesting if they have anything to do with volunteers. The other debate is which rescue units would be used. I know there were a few 'issues' at the end of last year on that.

Speedworx · 16 Jan 2006, 12:04 (Ref:1502318)

Great to see Coca-Cola get involved. Lets hope the grid number picks up this season.
