Bill Brown's comments about how few spectators were at Ruapuna last weekend, is born out by a trusted Club official who took the time to phone me yesterday to tell me that there was less than 300 paying people on Sunday, as he was most concerned about the promotion for the V8ST round in March, because in his opinion if it was not promoted properly, it would be as equally disastrous. As Nigel has said in his post TV3 would have done their bit to help promote the meeting, but unlike the V8ST meeting they are not broadcasting the TRS racing. Who were the Lady Wigram TRS meting promotor's and who appointed them? |

I quite like his article. To the ill informed it outlines he importance of this type of series and likely has more people taking it more seriously.

For sure I have read more pre event material from Teretonga than I did from Ruapuna. Southland Sports Car Club utilise the services of Lindsay Beer and he does feed information out to a wide field of media outlets |

However, I believe the Teretonga round is a joint venture between Teretonga & whomever (10seventy?) and therefore Teretonga are working hard on the promotion of their round and deserve much more success. |

Congratulations Teretonga on some local pre event print media. Let's hope the patriotic locals turn up to watch. |

So, $64,000 question..... How does a brand new company, whose owners have no particular track record in promoting events step straight into tier 1 promotion? |

Possibly 'cos no one else wanted it? MSNZ was told to get out of the promotion, so the package as it is was offered to anyone interested, including the ST management group, and the Circuit Owners Group. MSNZ carried basic promotion for two seasons after TMC went; on the understanding with MSNZ clubs that it would not cost the sport money. It's all been discussed before on various threads here. One of the directors of this company had a relationship with motorsport promotion a few years ago. |

You say, quote "MSNZ carried basic promotion for two seasons after TMC went; on the understanding with MSNZ clubs that it would not cost the sport money" so Crunch if MSNZ made a loss as promotor's who tops up their coffer's? The sport, in one form or another surely? |

If there was any truth in this rumor you would expect that one or other of the drivers would be banned from racing for bringing the sport into disrepute, would you not! Or will this alleged altercation just be hushed up in the interest of the Sport? |

Teretonga this weekend
I just had a quick look at Live Timing and Craig Baird was conspicuous by his absence. Anyone know why or should I guess?
