I have been sitting and listening on the sidelines for quite a while now. I have come to the conclusion that this is the beginning of the end for TQ racing as we know it. I am not pointing any fingers at any person or group in particular. I have been involved with TQ's for 10 years and have enjoyed it it. I'm just afraid that given the circumstances surrounding both clubs that this just ends up being a pissing match and whom ever has the most money and /or will to outlast the other group will be left with nothing in the end. Kinda like cutting off your nose to spite your face. There are lots of folks out there that want to see unification, and then there are probably just as many that dont. I have read a lot of very valid arguments on here in the last several months. I agree with many, and others I do not. I know a lot of guys in both clubs, have guys in both clubs with their cars. I just dont get why so many people are SO angry about whats going on. It has become personal. Once that happens, the door starts to close to people that want the clubs to unite( as can be seen in the above post). I am certain of one thing, next year neither club will be able to get into anything other than a fairground track due to low car count of each club. Promoters are used to seeing 35 cars when the TQ's would show up. On top of an already low car-count due to the economic climate, each club is left with only half of that. I am just afraid that TQ racing as we know and love is gone. I hope I'm wrong. The best club will survive, but I'm afraid by then, it will be too late. I think it will take a combination of the two clubs and also a new motor revolution that seems to have already started. I wasnt around, but I suppose thats what happened when the Honda began to dominate. The old motors were left behind.
