There is a five day discussion period after these results are posted. If no serious allegations of voting irregularities are raised, the group will be created shortly thereafter. Allegations of irregularity should be sent to control@usenet.org.uk Distribution: uk.net.news.announce uk.rec.motorsport.misc uk.net.config 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.
