Опубликовано 9 августа 2013, 19:41

The /ShakeDown team - Leo Parente, Ian Whelan, Max Seeger - meet to redesign North American Racing - THE races / racecars that will grow racing and motivate the influx of more money, media, AND fan support. The team discusses criteria that make for good racing then sets out WHAT racecars should lead the fix - Big Series and Big Events for 1] Open-Wheel, 2] Production Cars, 3] SportsCars, 4] Rally, 5] Bikes - All other racing feeds these 'Lead Series' [just like US college football feeds the NFL].

Motivated by frustration with auto racing politics, personal agendas, compromises, and [sometimes] bad thinking that seem to result in never the best solutions OR the best racing, Leo challenges the SD Team and YOU to share your opinions / input. North America first, then /SD will take on the world! Now, tell us what you think.
