Default Another UCR PCA email

Anyone else get a 2nd or 3rd email from the PCA?

Latest one is explaining how to change your vote.

LOL

Yup. I find it highly inappropriate that they email us trying to influence votes. The worst is that they are counting up the submitted ballots before the election closes!

There is also some interesting recent email from Richard Bain to reverse votes for Phil Downe...

It is an vivid example of a cosy little group overreacting when their control is threatened.

It irritated me enough to email the UCR executive asking for action to be taken.

Thanks Phil,
I will look into this. It appears very inappropriate.

Danny,
I think this needs to be reported to the PCA National offices.

^ I think that they are aware of some "goings on" and might be the reason some of the posts were removed from the UCR web site.

There is a reason why a group of us, a few years ago, considered starting a Canadian chapter of the Porsche Owners Club.

Then we realized, all we really want to do is go to lapping days, races, and meet at bars for a drink or three. With CASC, and the local lapping groups, we can do that without all the turmoil of an official club...
