I think it breaks down like this. In the beginning, it was pretty cup car specific. Now I see posts about all sorts of Racing information, information not specific to cup cars, etc. It's starting to look just like the Racing forum. While over at the Racing forum that has maybe 100x the volume of members using it, there is still lots of cup car information. My thought is that you guys here in Cup Cars are not gaining the benefit of the much larger group in Racing, while those posting here on questions about tracks, tires, etc. are not getting the benefit of the experience of everyone over at Racing.
I'm not trying to make work or take something precious away. Just noticed how this area has evolved and thought I'd pose the question to see if it would be better to put all of the Racing / Cup Car information in one place to make finding information / searching easier.

Most posts here are about Cup cars. Looking at the list right now, about all of them are about Cup Cars except for one or two. It doesn't look like the "racing" forum either, where a lot of information is very general and lacks actually Cup info. I'm not sure either that Racing forum is that much of experience. A lot of info there is just "buzz" and has more of a social and speculating character.

I too believe they should be seperate. The so called racing forum isn't, while this forum is car specific and doesn't seem to attract all the peripheral traffic.

There's no cost, as I stated in the OP, I've noticed this has 1/10th the activity of the original parent area, and that I've seen more "Racing / DE" type discussion (ie: questions about track insurance, winter DE day at Monticello, etc.). It was also a convenience question - do people prefer to have Racing / Cup Car back together so viewing, searching, etc. is in one place instead of two.
Believe me, we certainly don't want to create work or make things worse. The question was asked and it sounds to me like everyone would like to leave well enough alone. Thanks all!

Actually Rassel, in my mind it's up to the membership, not the mods and administrators. It's always good to ask questions to see if things are as people want it. We're all volunteers just trying to make our community as good as it possibly can be - thus the probing

I'd rather see them separate, once I get my cup car I won't really want to sift through pages of winning DE strategies to read about what kind of shocks and settings you guys run at various tracks

Cup forum
I would vote to keep the Cup forum separate...it is very easy for me to stay current on the only racing topic I am interested in.
Thanks for a GREAT forum!

For what it is worth I have been an avid reader of the Cup forum prior to purchasing my first Cup car late last year. I now check it daily and find it very informative. I like the fact that it is very Cup centric, go figure.
