Would it not be a shame that we deprive ourselves of these ambassadors for Irish Motorsport?
You are IMHO 100% correct that the foundations need to be under pinned, but walking from MI would be a backward step.

...but MI doesn't work for Irish motorsport as it currently is. What the hell do those guys do considering motorsport is going down the pan here? So something must be done or there is no future - there won't be Carnegie's, Tohill's etc. to come through as the opportunity won't be there.
There needs to be a complete overhaul and that regime replaced. Can this be done with proper racing men who are not living 50 years in the past? What is the process for challenging the status quo - or are people afraid to?
