Pointlessly complaining and arguing never helps. Action is all that counts. Participation at your local track is the best thing you can do. Actually, second best. The best thing is to tell everybody what a challenging, rewarding and FUN sport you are involved in.
I believe that we (racers and track operators) are on our own. The manufacturers don't support us. They will happily spend millions on glossy magazine ads, but don't seem to even acknowledge that the tracks in our communities exist. I don't understand why it is so insular. If I was marketing a race oriented manufacturer I would be pushing the facilities that hold club races week in and week out, and helping to develop the sport and the racers. Especially the NEW racers.
