To a degree - but when cars turn up at a meetig that haven't been seen before or with larger than life engines (ie engines never seen in that type of car) and allowed to compete on supposedly 'equal playing ground' it was bound to turn some away whilst pleasing others.

And then seeing this start to happen starts putting off anyone interested in seeing the category race. Like everyo other category before it, as soon as you introduce a mongrel car that kills off everything else, you start to lose both credibility and potential fans.
Think Holden Monaro and Procar for the perfect example. |

I went out for a bit on Sunday afternoon, and while the fields were certainly small (except Thundersports) there was still some great racing/dicing in most races I saw. I got some pics too which I will share when I get the chance

Geeeze, I did not know this was going to turn into a CAMS vs BFC show.....
I'll put my money on BFC.... He'll sit there and say nothing until CAMS gives up...... As a hatted gent once said..... " He don't say much, but when he does, it's worth listening to" |

It seems as though there will be a decent field of Formula Rs at QR this weekend...

Looks to be about 5 Formula Rs padded out with a couple of Formula Fords (Swift? Spectrum?) and some older F2s? Are F2s able to run to Formula R regs?

All those cars are Formula R's apart from the Howard Group Spectrum of Mostert. What defines a Formula R is the spec Golf engine in the back.

I've been told the OzBoss situation was created by the entry fees tripling to over $1100 since last season.
Is this a lie? Or even an exaggeration? |

i thought that sounded expensive...until i found out how much the new "Australian Manufacturers Championship" costs
anyone else think that $3750 per round is a little excessive for production car racing? |

How else would the organisers recoup costs when they cut the series back to only 4 rounds for the season?
