Hi Stu / Dodge guy,

Maybe i'm explaing this in the the wrong way or something but I think you're both missing the point or at least what i think is the main point a bit

I can sort of see where this thread is going but it's a little pointless IMO I would say 95% of drivers only go to one club there local and are loyal to that club.

Whats going to one club or not got to do with trying to get data on the results that different brands / models of cars (and other equipment) are actually achieving at club level but looked at on a National scale.
This is trying to give people both another tool (one that is based only on fact, with out conjecture) to help them select the best equipment for the place that they race. I also think it will give a very interesting insight into how model are actually performing over a year. With a big enough sample the localized trends will/should become less important.

Finding out about the local tracks/clubs results and details is to be honest of secondary importance to what i was really looking at which is a cars performace averaged out over a much larger sample of both driving ability and surface conditions, but I do also feel that it is important to collect it as when looking at the bigger picture and it gives a useful little tool to people who might be considering starting to race at said local club and would like to know what is achieving results there.

Basically what I'm getting at if you race at FORCC you would come down have a look and get advise

That's fine and I think getting advise from local racers can be useful and valid (and i recomend people to do this also) but I bet the advise would change depending on who you ask at the club

Do you not see any usefull information coming from actually knowing the averaged out positions of a certain brand/model/peice of equipment at the club over a year?

What i would like is real life figures that can provide something other than things like "normally it like this" or "it depends who is racing" or it I think this is the best or that driver is fast so it must be the best car etc etc etc...

Dodge guy you said

Maybe a review section would be good so people can give pros and cons about the car they have (or had).

Again completely missing the point. There are hundreds/thousands of personal and proffessional reviews of vehicals and other equipment over the internat and I've watched to many to count. Yes you can obviously gain some interesting insight into a product from them but it is always going to be very limited by the scope of the reviewers experiences, judgment, personal predjudaces and even dare I say with some reviewers their monthly paychecks.

I don't want optinions I want cold hard facts that are not limited by bias or persoanl judment.

Then with a mix of cold hard fact on the cars performances, reviews, advise from the local club and any other infomation they might want to look before making a decision on what car/epuiment they want to run where ever they want to run it.

Blimey feels like I'm fighting a battle here! I thought some people would find this sort of info really interesting as its simply not available at the moment
