Yeah not nice putting people out of a race. Need to treat people nice. I got told if you push some one over you spoze to stop and wait for them to go if it was your mistake that caused the crash. But some time you have to put your nose in to get a bit of racing room then you have crash. It's hard to b nice when sheep stations are up for grabs.. Keep it nice boys

People where very friendly and helpful was good to finally race on dirt loved both my kyoshos but my zx5 was awesome on the dirt the rb5 needs a little more setup work. I will definitely go up again saw poor bens car get destroyed by a novice driver and didnt go off at the other driver.

Look my fellow rc drivers , accidents on the track will happpen all the time , now and forever , no one does it on purpose , not all of us state champions experience either, but you do know when your wrong too. Most of us say sorry on the rostrum , pull a vehicle up and wait , lets just have fun , we are not driving for pink slips....
You wanna see upset go to a state/national title 
No one really at the club at this point is getting massively upset with driving issues as they have only been days for us to iron out things so we can get racing for points.
What has been said over the last two meetings has also been said when bash events were held at the track.
I also think the racing has been pretty clean overall.
With that being said we are a club and will get visitors who have a race craft and etiquette and if you want to see good racing it is clean and fast.
That is what is great to drive in and/or watch.
Those who think SCT is all about bumping and bashing it isn’t sorry.
Think about your move when over taking and if you are smart you would be looking for the persons weak spot where they may push wide and that is the time to take it.
As Disarm put it, it is very simple and will actually lead to a fun day.
When bashing comes to play that is when the day turns out to be a bad one
Remember everyone’s competitiveness is at different levels so if you can all be on the same page when it comes to driving then that factor is discounted.
the last two races meetings at the track have been some of the best days I have had racing

I know this is going to cause a stir...
I do understand there needs to be some sportsmanship amongst racers, but if we start whinging about "the rules and regulations regarding racing" and "he did she did" already it will be more detrimantal to the club than the issues at hand.. Take for instance I've hardly driven a race car for 15 years and am still finding my wheels again etc.. But i've had 2 comments already about ACCIDENTS that I had no control over and that simply is uncalled for and unfair..!!! I have seen the BS this causes in the past and it has and does and IS ruining clubs quicker than cancer.. We created this club for FUN and FAMILY and for those who are just joining and getting onboard now that the racing is happening (and the hard work is done ) you need to be patient and understanding of those who are not as seasoned etc.. If it is something intentional and malicious, fair enough but if there is a pile up or something and ya get hit deal with it don't be a sook or a political stickler... 
So hopefully your idea is amatuer friendly and understanding of this... I have to disagree with a few points you have made. Firstly my understanding is this club was first discussed a few years ago with the intention of bringing competitive 1/10th club racing back to Adelaide (not bashing). In saying that fun and families is what will make clubs grow that is obvious (I have already had my kids out on the track
). My post was a direct reference to an issue that was bought up on the forum and the subsequent following posts that I believe with simple club guidelines and etiquette education could have been avoided on the day and which would then have not been posted about on a public forum and the subsequent trash (basketball term) talk. Sct is a way for people to get started in rc because they are big, durable, forgiving etc etc but if thats where people start and they learn to drive that way because everyone else does etc how will that help them when they want to move on to another class where you can't drive like that because they are not big, durable, forgiving etc etc. If there are guidelines in place and no grey areas how can that possibly be detrimental to the club it can only help the club get to its goal of being a great club in Australia.
I don't know where you got that I was "whinging about "the rules and regulations regarding racing" and "he did she did" comment but I can assure you I was not sooking or being a political stickler merely offering a possible solution to help resolve the issue then and there. I don't believe anyone would intentionally or maliciously do anything wrong it is always unintentional, the issue is how to deal with it.

Ok first of all I would like to say thank you to all members who have contacted me ( I have a few this week) or fellow committee members about any ideas to help grow
This club this type of communication is also key to helping the committee make decisions for the club.
We have a committee meeting on the 28th where lots of topics will be discussed this will include the current topic of drivers etiquette.
Now what I am about to say below is my own opinion and does not reflect that of the committee or my fellow committee members.
I personally believe we need some drivers guide lines (gentleman’s agreement) of what is expected once you place your car on the track. (I will stay clear of using the word “rule” because it seem to be a fun killer)
This I do believe will add to the fun and remember the atmosphere is also what makes the day fun so niggling agro because people are “bashing” will only detract from the day.
There isn’t a massive list, more just about a common sense approach and most have already been spoken about on here.
Yes maybe as race director on the day I should have stepped in but there was some grey area on the day.
On the flip side I have already seen some good driving and the recipient of a slower person giving way to me and allowing me to pass.
I thanked that person on the rostrum and also after the race.
I did also help him by saying a few corners before I caught up to him that I was catching him quickly
I also personally have no issues with people putting up their opinions on here and people discussing it as long as no nastiness is implied.
Remember opinions aren’t right or wrong.
Thank You
Dave

I apologise for making it seem like I was singling you out, that was not my intention.. I was actually reffering to the overall situation(s) and given your post was covering that issue (and the fact that only your post was quoted and not the trail as I would have liked/wanted) is why it may have appeared that way. I was just generalising..!
I think I may need to remove myself form this forum as it seems to cause way to much trouble for me and my supposed "veiw of or from the club", and misunderstandings of what I write.. My veiws are MY veiws only and not that of the club.. I am not the president so if it does not come OFFICIALLY from that person you need to take whatever is said/written with a pinch of salt...
SCT I agree, although tough and rough I believe can lead to bad "bashing" habits following on to other classes but once again just my opinion.. i think 2WD stock is the go but that doesn't look like it will happen in the near future anyway..
