Announcement from Spedeworth:

Spedeworth have noticed the significant drop in numbers of Stock Rods and Lightning Rods at meetings recently and feel that we must do something.

We would like suggestions on whether the formulas need to be made cheaper and in what ways this can be accomplished.

The trend of low numbers is not only affecting Spedeworth meetings but those at Incarace and Stock Rods at Autospeed etc too and we are afraid to say that they are simply no longer putting on a show.

We would like suggestions from drivers using their real names and race numbers (as opposed to hiding behind fake names) before we have to make our own decisions. We would also appreciate any suggestions from fans too as Spedeworth value your opinion highly too.

Come on drivers lets get them cars out ! want your say go to the forum as Spedeworth don't know why cars are not out there. All of us have spent time and money on our Stock Rods ....Do we need rule changes (don't think so) If the nubers keep dropping Stock Rod may be dropped from all major events.
