Then surely you are in the wrong for letting that guy decide that he has to race a Shark ST and nothing more?

When I first got a micro back in 2005 I raced on my own against 30+ touring cars...and now look where we are.

New drivers and racers arent going to come along on silver plates, if it was that easy we wouldnt be in the situation where regions were concerned about the lack of drivers.

Your Caster bloke turns up every week, understands that he isnt going to beat the Sharks but has a bloody good laugh with a car that cost him at least half of the price of the cars that you guys are running.....he happens to bump into one of your ex racers and explains that the smaller cars are now viable but alot cheaper and ex racer matey comes back along for a look...with his 2 kids and decides that the smaller car, B2 etc is for him.

Bingo, afew new drivers on the books.

It aint hard...it just needs a non "small cars are shit" attitude and some time to develop!

I have heard numerous people telling me that people are leaving cos they need to spend £300+ on a race ready micro...now there are other options..they just need nurturing.
