If they otherwise support and enjoy MM that should be enough. I think this forum allows people to over react way too much and over analyze things. Also I've seen a reduction in mean spirited posts, fun or not it was getting really old and I'm glad to see thats becoming a thing of the past.
That being said I think we can still do a better job getting people out to the track to participate as they wish. At the meetings I didn't hear enough of "Hey I'm going to the track, anyone want a ride?" Granted if you asked for one you got one which is great, but if you really want to get people out there be vocal about giving rides
I don't think anyone is going to look down upon people who don't track their cars, but there probably will be eye rolling for those that join a "motorsports" club and instead only care about flaunting their stunna skillz.
Actually, I think it would be a great idea to have a "Rides" sticky on the forum for those people going to track events that have space for passengers. (insert jokes about people's Mom/sister here).
That way people who are interested in going can ask for a ride, or those participating who have extra space can bring someone along (even those alums who can't make it to meetings).
But honestly, if you try to drum up interest at the meeting, you can all carpool, especially to an event like Summit.
Where there's a will, there's a way, is all I'm saying...
