Summary:
uk.rec.motorsport.oval-racing Supporters and participants of oval track racing
Rationale:
The existing group uk.rec.motorsports attracts discussion of circuit-based
and rally driving and has consistently failed to engender oval racing
discussion, despite promptings. There is a significant and growing group
of oval racing supporters, drivers and officials who, at the moment, gather
around the Oval Racing Web Site and would value active participation in a
newsgroup where specific discussion about this form of motorsport could
take place.
Charter:
This group is for discussion of issues relating to the variety of
short track oval racing formulae, which takes place at more than
30 stadiums and tracks throughout the UK, including Stock Car racing,
Hot Rods, Bangers, Saloons, Rebels and Supermodifieds.
Discussion should be limited to UK racing (not NASCAR or similar, but
could include the Eurocar formula) and to oval track racing (not
purely circuit based racing)
Topics for discussion are broad and varied and may include :
* reports and feedback from oval track meetings.
* discussion of the relative merit of promotion and formulae.
* sharing of current news and happenings.
* broad discussion of technical issues in oval racing.
* discussion of future developments within the UK short track
oval racing scene.
Oval racing fans are reknowned for friendly and lively discussion
and excessive flaming or abuse is to be discouraged.
Binaries:
Not permitted, but references to FTPable material and
Web URLs are welcomed.
Advertising:
Short (less than 20 line) announcements of events, meetings and
promotions are permitted. Commercial advertising is not permitted.
Moderation:
None.
