750 MC @ Croft

[coppice]

Don't know if many 750 folk read this thread but if you do , then congratulations for staging the best meeting I have seen at Croft for many years. Huge grids(never seen a 40 car grid there in 45 years of attendance), close and (mainly ) clean racing , a diversity of cars and so slickly organised. I am used to interminable delays between races but not today- quick podium interview and away again. Brilliant stuff . And if the people who were responsible for some of the utterly pathetic events held at Croft recently- 4 and 5 car grids FFS - could take a leaf out of the 750 MC's book the world would be a better place. Come back soon....

I don't blame Croft the circuit at all; I do blame cynical organising clubs who run woefully under-supported championships.

The trouble is that it is is always possible to find a reason as if that that makes it OK. But it isn't OK - we have a huge number of racers in this country but an excess of championships , often near identical, which dilute attendance and make for a dull day out for all. Recent utter jokes have been the GT3 Cup ( was it 5 cars , one of whom was 10 seconds slower than the rest , GR8 series (which wasn't great at all) and some FF2000 and BMW races ). HSCC and 750 MC seem to get it right most of the time - shame about some of the rest.

Great series but wtf went wrong - yet to see them at their home circuit Croft but have been to such Northern venues as Mallory and Rockingham. What is going on ? Darlington and District MC are based ten minutes from Croft - so why the move elsewhere - usual self destruct lemming instinct that too many series have when they are successful ?

It is a common malaise in the sport - rules are applied aggressively even when it is clear to anybody apart from those obsessed about them that they need changing. If the outcome is a poorly supported series which is dying on its feet - fewer competitors, fewer spectators, less coverage etc then it is time to change. It is now June and DDMC NORTHERN S and SC series has yet to visit a circuit North of the Trent - somebody needs to get a bloody grip

They are indeed a great bunch and I have followed the series for many years; it just such a shame that for whatever reason they hardly ever race at their home circuit . It used to be nearly every meeting - so what has changed and why I wonder?
