End of the line

It appears we have reached a junction that it is time to do some more house cleaning. The NPWDRL has grown to a level we all had just dreamed of simply by clearing out the few that kept ruining the league racing at every other venue. This board is here to provide HONEST information on the latest and greatest with pinewood derby. Our competitors are enjoying watching what is going on here with a few people creating chaos in what appears to be an intentional effort to make it a soap opera here. I do not have the time or desire to sit and police the board. The events after nationals literally wasted an entire day that I did not have to waste. These kind of events are the exact thing that turns people away from racing.

The league wars are over and I am pretty certain most everyone here does not want to sit and read the constant clutter and bs fights that are clogging every thread. We don't have to get along and agree about everything but we don't have to have a word brawl at every turn. If this is what you enjoy then it might be time to move on. We have the best information and the best racing there is and I am pretty sure that will not change if we lose the drama.

The sounding board has been removed. If you have an issue feel free to PM me or call me. If you have suggestions by all means post them to get feedback. Enjoy the board by all means and keep building our community. STOP ALL THE PERSONAL ATTACKS!

I am not going to call anyone out by name. You will know if I am talking to you. Very simple, if your intention is to make this community have chaos then leave or be deleted. If you do not like us here then leave. If you are a competitor quit using this forum to build your thing. We are not allowed on yours and we do not pollute yours.

Our goal is to continue to build league racing. The next goal for the NPWDRL is to reach 80 builders per month. This can happen if everyone works together. This growth will eventually bring attention to what we are doing and it will open other doors. This is a fantastic hobby for all kinds. Everyone is welcome to race and everyone will be treated the same.

If you have an issue I am VERY EASY to get a hold of. Time to get back to enjoying the hobby.

Out with the old, and in with the tools topic.

Now that the sounding board is gone for good I will be turning over a new leaf.

Thanks so much for this forum John, and all the fellas that make it the best forum on the internet.
 
Anyone who runs a league the size of the NPWDRL has to have the patience of Job. I've only been fortunate enough to attend one live event. I was just a helping hand but I learned real quick the amount of work that is involved behind the scenes. We have a great league and forum and it takes everyone to make it work. The information shared on this site is incredible compared to what was available prior to 2011. Have fun and enjoy racing...that's what it is all about.
 
The board is for having fun, sharing knowledge, camaraderie, and building friendships. Not for arguments and stress. I’m sure we all get enough of that at work. We don’t need it in our sport/hobby.

Congrats again to Minions Racing for his outstanding wins at Nationals!
