Doug Nye ,one of the Goodwood grandee's calls Historic Racing 'Pipsqueak'
and he's probably correct.My cars have been on the end of a bashing without even an apology.
The culprits need throwing out irrespective of who they are.

I now that in some quarters CSCC are not considered to be a "proper" major organisation (despite routinely having 300 cars out at meetings) but as MG David has said the CSCC have been championing good driving standards for many years and have asked members to resign, excluded drivers from meetings and/ or not accepted applications to join several times.
CSCC has recently formalised this with a 4 stage disciplinary process that has been issued to all members. Of note, If an incident is considered severe enough, the Committee reserve the right to jump straight to stage 4 - exclusion from the club!
It's not difficult really.
Nevertheless, incidents do still occur and I think the belief in the "racing incident" is too easy really. Many "racing incidents" occur because drivers don't have any forethought, anticipation or respect for their fellow competitors. Some would rather have the bang than back off. Me, I'd rather back off and come home with all 4 wheels pointing the right direction and the bank account intact.
