Maurice was brilliant for running around the track and getting crowds going...
Years ago in mondello the atmosphere was brilliant everyone screaming etc
once maurice was gone the atmosphere went with him...
A decant commintator would bring more spectators i think...
And great idea wes...it should work really well...
Great idea, be interesting to see how much a drivers opinion would
be voiced if they are afraid of stepping on toes as it could be still seen by quite a few people but at least all the shite from people posting in general threads with their own asumptions would not have to be waded through to see first hand views on things from people that put the most on the lline and benefit the most or loose out on any changes or decisions made at events or throughout the series.
Another advantage could be if a particular driver has an issue with something but doesn't want to voice it, they could pm the whoever is appointed to be this spokesperson.
Great idea wez,something like this is badly wanted to keep the sport from going limp I reckon.
I would love to help out when and where I can if it means our events can run smoother and be entertaining for both driver and spectater.
After being at JDM Allstars last weekend and last year I have to laugh at how unmoved our Irish crowd have got at events in comparison,I remember awesome atmosphere at PD events in 2006/2007 even 2008,seems to haved fizzled out a bit of late.
Anyways thats my two cents. .
well but ted i think it would be a good idea and why dnt you run 4 spoke person you but enough in to it yourself and was not afarid to speak up in mondelo at the judges lst year drivers briefing in top 32 lst week was a joke and to watch was even worst no lines taken wht so ever cos theydid not know wht they were at
very good idea id be in anyway
Count me on board too!
fair play wez you have your thinking cap on!!
just a small note, it would be a good idea to not just limit it to current prodrift competitors and have it as a section in the forum for feed back on all series drivers north south and even across the water too as not every driver is dedicated to the prodrift name and drift other places.
one other thing, it should include all who have a licence and or held a licence in the last few years, i'v had a licence for he past 2 years and opted out this year as lack of funds but will be on the go again,i would like to be included in the final result of who can and can't access the drivers section as its only fair, i agree prodrift do have alot of issues to sort out and the new driver section will help alot.
its progress towards a better sport!
i agree with that it should be open to previous competitorsQuote:

are competitors who didn't qualify to go through to sunday still getting charged when they come to watch it on the sunday??
I would say nearly every one on the site has held a licence at some stage so opening a seperate section would be a waste of time. It only interests the drivers that are at it this year really and the years to come.Quote:

I dont agree.Quote:

If all series + lads who had a licence before are included, it may as well be open the everyone.
If there is a issue where the current licence holders want the views of past or future drivers ,a thread can be posted in a public section.
have to agree, makes more sence for current pd licence holders to make there views heard, not for past drivers!Quote:

very good idea wez,bout time something like this was done
No if they see a improvment in the way its ran this year they might come back in next year and share there views. No point in some one telling us what to do if they are not physically involved not trying to be a dick here but it is more for the lads that want to share there opinion without it being heard back and let 1 spokesperson stand forward and speak on behalf of all drivers.Quote:

If you mean a separate part of the forum for drivers, seems like this could be difficult to pull off. Plenty of drivers are directly linked to PD so anything discussed would almost definitely be heard back..Quote:

Yeah, that's what i mean:) I think some of the PD bashing on this thread is getting personal anyway.Quote:

Anyway i'm not a driver, this is just from a spectators point of view.
Iv tried stay out of this thread because its for drivers.Quote:

I'm not a driver but I've photographer enough events and been around the forums a long time.
I reckon it is a great idea to have one place where all the current drivers can talk openly and discuss ideas and issues without keyboard warriors having an input.
Fair play Wesley for putting this forward.
Good idea I'd say.
I have one question though, what on earth will Mick do as he's not a driver?!:rolleyes::p
Anything that requires a union/comittee or spokesperson etc etc usually always ends up in a disaster. Yes it's a great idea and great for drivers to clear their chests a bit and clean the un drift educated comments of a general forum but it will be interesting to see if it would actually work and be run proper along with the constructive comments actually been taken on board by the PD enterprise?! :confused:
I know of many previous suggestions over different things even back to before I competed and there was always a constructive reason or comment to stop any questions or suggestions within the series.
Lads is there anything being done about this theres 7 pages of people saying what a good idea it is but it don't look like theres much being done.......!
This can be done, but those who want it will have to approach us about it with details of what they want, get us driver listings etc.Quote:
