I'm already aware of about 5 or 6 links on the link page, that need to be fixed, but if there are any other problems that you've noticed, please share and I'll try to correct them.

Why hasnt the club recognized Ben Petter as 2009 champion ? You want support, but you cant even post the champions name who supported the club all year.

Wow!! It's unbelievable to look at this site and not conclude that WMRA is dying. Where is the comment good or bad? Ben Petter is the Champ by virtue of being on top of the points at the rejected and merciful end of the season. Where is the Banquet,such as it is. Where is the monthly newsletter? Where is the President and any of his plans for reviving WMRA in 2010? ? Hello WMRA!!! Are you there?? Can you hear me?? Please don't die from neglect!!

These forums are lucky to see one entry a day. It's easy to place blame on the organization while doing nothing yourself. Every single member has the power to help liven this place up by posting, chatting and discussing on here, yet no one has stepped up to the plate and put any kind of effort into doing any of that. I've seen other forums where members fight over who will be the first to post big news, here, it's nothing but complaints that something wasn't posted. Seriously folks, if you've got something to share than share it!! If you want to see something posted than post it! Perhaps you just might create some motivation among other members to start posting and this could actually be an ACTIVE forum. It's called a "forum" for a reason, if it were only for WMRA to post, then it would be called a "blog". This message board will only be as good as how the members make it.

Does anybody know if there is going to be a 09 banquet to honor Ben and Bill Petter? Does the WMRA still have a board of directors? Are they all MIA?

I would like to comment on no has posted anything for discussion I posted an article on what the BCRA is doing and how they are tring to save their racing league. I got only two replies one for and one against. I'm not sure which way we want to go. As a member I'm disappointed I have seen other postings with no comments I ask myself why there are no comments. I also have to ask why people are all guests and no members why are you hiding. Is the WMRA going to be around next year it sure appears no one cares. And if they do, they don't want new members now is the time to plan for next year.If nothing is on the drawing board I will make plans for next year and only race with the Pacific Coast Midgets. Get it together guys and gals you been around for years is this where it ends? It's not the economy is the only reason it appears there is some bad blood between the member past and present. What's the deal where are those cars are they going to race, and if they do not want to race sell the cars or are you keeping the cars off the market to keep the car count low so they can say the excs are doing a bad job. What the heck is going on. Thanks Keith Davidson #52 WMRA/PCMRA

The past 3 seasons have seen a decline in cars, attendance, membership and interest in WMRA racing as well as in particular...this version of the website. Unfortunate but true. The bad economy has led to people cutting back on spending. The whole situation is tough with the regular guy just trying to survive. People cant afford to field cars or tow too far or race all the races if anything goes awry. The glass could be half full or half empty... depending on each persons perception or current reality. It seems its up to the club, the lubs membership, those appointed in charge and those who still love midget racing here locally to decide what to do about it. Its been hard to sit on the sidelines and see what has transpired. The current circumstances dictate new strategies be employed to combat these challenges. There has to be a better way of dealing with things than just relying on old ideas. There needs to be a balance between honoring tradition as well as innovation. Wheres the passion and energy? Peopleare quietly asking whats in the future? It dosnt have to be like this. What seems to be missing is a key individulal, with a creative mind, new ideas and the experience in management to formulate a plan and lead the way. Unfortunately... i can almost hear the synnicism (sp?) already. I wish people would comment, offertheir ideas or hopes and show this isnt true. A few good ideas maybe could get the ball rolling in the right direction again. Skeet

I've tried all season to get some chat going on here on this board...it's pretty discouraging as a new member to midget racing that this awesome sport is sooo silent now. The only glimmer of hope to this point seems to be the Pacific Coast Midget's.
ps Congrats going out to Ben Petter, WMRA 2009 Season Champion!
