No offence taken not to worry. Maybe i should rephrase that, in terms of grassroot autocross rounds and santioned events, we were the first to do an Autocross Round sanctioned by AAM with a novice category. Maybe that does not qualify us, but we were the leader to do it in this country with both disciplines. No one has ever organized a santionced autocross round with a novice category before. In the days of BT3 where they ran the gravel autocross, there was a novice category but that was a gravel sprint rally, with a co-driver. Just my memories of motorsport here back in 1982 then.
On the last round of SSO, yes R3 did a brilliant job for getting their last round sanctioned for D1 in 2005. I trully enjoyed that run...thanks for the brake pads...haahha
I think the drift scene, Sync Optima and Angle D5 and DCM are doing a brilliant job of promoting grassroots as well. So goes for FTS for organizing an autocross round in Ipoh. R3 should pump money to support and sponsor their cause...motorsports is sad here..not enough sponsors.
I totally agree, with you, Faisal, quantifying us as leaders, well we were the first for the novice and sanctioned event, and if i cant claim that, so maybe i should put leaders in Autocross but that would be disrespectful to R3, as they were there first, actually AMF was here first, but then again, it was MMSC that first organized its first Autocross in 1970+ in Dewan Sivik PJ State, i think...but no novice category..newbies are crucial..for motorsports.
hahaha, but i love the R3TA events, hehehehe got lots more competitors but lack the tire screeching of the drifter cars...which i wish for...
