Fair enough Bill, you are correct in saying that when the series was going downhill the shite-fight [because of what was happening] was behind closed door's.
However, you also know that it was Martin Fine backed by MSNZ, who fought us all the way to court in a very public matter, using what was was left of NZV8, etc, that tore the class's apart in a far more public way that should have ever have happened.
Lets, just suppose that MSNZ had embraced V8ST when they turned up on the grid for their very first race at Hampton Downs, with 16 Car's, and didn't get commercially involved with advancing monies to NZV8, owning the IP to the TLX car etc.
The Joe public spectator would have thought wow awesome man just look at those car's etc.
I am not suggesting that the above scenario would have fixed the current problem, because at Tier One level it's basically unfixable, at least from a spectator point of view. Never the less, if MSNZ had of possessed the nounce to 'Glue' everything together, instead of buying into Martin's favorite tactic of "Divide and Conquer" we would be in a lot better shape than we are in now.
