With all the forum banter floating around with "he said, he said", here is your chance to get up and make some suggestions how to make the 2013 Kerrick National Series bigger and better.

If you are going to fire some bullets, make sure you can back up your statements and give some constructive feedback on how your concerns can be looked into for 2013.

This is not the place for personal attacks but a way to move forward for the better of both State and National Championships in all states.

If you do not want to post due to possible comebacks from your fellow competitors or organisers, feel free to pm me and I will "edit" your concerns and post them up anonomosly on your behalf.

how about a "mechanics" race say 2 - 3 laps at the end of the season
these blokes know the cars as well or better than the drivers
imagine john gourlay head to head with basil riciardello ????

Keep those suggestions coming.

Hey Esse,s that would mean Andrea would be our driver.
Surely she could not drive it any slower than me at the moment ;)

Banter from another thread;

Nadzz said;

Maybe this is the sort of thing they are upset with Phil, the attitude shown towards them wouldn't entice alot of state drivers to race with national drivers...

Phast Phil said;
I am still trying to understand Nadz comment. It is a fact that there was some crash's at EC, I was stating the obvious and maybe some are still in repair stage. Why is this the National sereis fault and no adverse attitude has been shown so who dreamt that one up?

WP is not a joint state/ National round but all are welcome to enter. The series Dunlop tyres must be used in qualifying and racing and the RPM limits must be adhered to..


Nadzz said;
There are crashes at all meets in all classes at all levels of motorsport phil, hell we have even seen the series two best drivers take each other out in some cases, the way you have pointed out the obvious makes it look like your degrading the state series, when in fact a majority of our field would have started in state level racing.... Just saying maybe you shouldnt burn your bridges with the state guys because i enjoy the combined state/national rounds and that seems to be the only time there is a descent size field on the grid...

I think esse,s has been smoking some cool drugs, and i want them!

I think to liven up next years series and to help out on the promotional side
there should be some kerrick grid girls?

It certainly helps the 'likes' tally go up on facebook pages and from what im told
from a mate who works on the supercar website it is the most visited part of the page haha.

?? Kerricks call that one i guess, just dont go to the same agency that shannons does....

I think a great idea would be.... If someone had a spare block of flats they didn't want any more, they could sell them and sponsor us for a 5 car team... Lauren can drive the Honda, I'll hand Toranaracer the keys to the Corvette and he can be Corvetteracer.. In turn, he has to let Andrea have a go in the Folden Torana and we might as well with the spare cash and time give my Torana to Lauren's sister Maddie.. How cool would that be? A 2 car Torana team of girls in the Kerrick Series... I know you all think I'm having a joke, but seriously, imagine the publicity for the Series if there were three Women who can all drive and one of em in a 6 Litre Corvette Transam... (Oooops, I meant Honda..) Sorry Damo ;)

Some suggestions from "Mr Mystery Racers" of the past few days;

_______________________________________________________________________
How about having a general meeting for those NASSA members on the Friday night of a National Round to discuss any ideas or air any problems from previous rounds?
This would have a few advantages, everyone is heard, bullets cant be fired at whoever who has to make all the decisions without having the support of the members, it unites everyone a bit more and creates closer social relationships. This could include state round competitors if they are attending that round to see how National decisions are made.

______________________________________________________________________
With the possibility of Sports Sedans being invited back to MCM in 2013, could this high profile meeting be used as a joint National/State round?
Now I understand we have a commitment to The Shannons Nationals but why could something like this not be fitted into the calender when these opportunities arise? Surely its a benefit to KERRICK above all else with the size of the promotional benefits.

_______________________________________________________________________
Preferred race tracks include Queensland Raceway, Phillip Island, Sandown, Winton and Eastern Creek.

And nothing yet from Loser :p
