Which media do you watch for SCCBC information?
Sep 13th, 2020 at 1:39pm
 
In these Covid 19 days where do you expect to receive information on SCCBC or Mission Raceway Park?
Would you prefer to have SCCBC Zoom meetings for general discussion or email 'Blasts' for important information only?
If the SCCBC executive monitored this forum on a regular basis
would you use it as a source of SCCBC/MRP information?
Where do you find out about CACC races or lapping day information?

In recent years SCCBC has had a poor communication strategy. Since we ceased having a PitPass newsletter we've lost that monthly communication with the membership.

At the moment, I find most of the information I get is via a short, and occasional, email from SCCBC. This forum is an excellent medium for communication and I check on it a couple of times per week. I also get info second hand via friends and associates, but that isn't 100% reliable, of course.

WE have a website and it would be nice if that were able to be kept updated. I realize that someone has to volunteer for that and that's a problem since everyone is busy. Have to make a living and have a family life.

Thank you.

Morning, I do check the web site but I don't see a lot of updates or member involvement on the forums.  email are great for race weekend information.  Facebook possibly used more?

So 97 'hits' and only a couple of replies!
Can we assume that some club members, maybe 40 or 50 do check the forum for information but have nothing to add?
If the club holds Zoom general meets once a month and email blasts important information (schedules, AGM into) is that enough.
Mike mentioned the Pit Pass, it should never have been scrapped, could a digital form be reinstated? I'm a member of the Lotus Club of BC and they have a Cam Journal which is really popular because of it's great content. If we could get Pete or someone equally talented to be the editor, would that work?
Food for thought and I'm going to keep on this subject for a while so feel free to join in  Smiley Wink!

Having not been to this forum for a long time, I think my answer speaks for itself.
I never use forums anymore and get all my information from Facebook, email and now online meetings like zoom or google meets.
To tell you the truth I find this particular forum model not very user friendly or easy to use. IMO

Thanks for the input Mike.
Some people (including me) are fine with FB for quick 'notes' or news flashes but you can't write articles of any length; a race day report for example.
Would you like to see the Pit Pass revived?
Andrew Clouston's META publication (MAYDAY) has a good following.

A great weekend of racing with Lucky Dog at Area 27 with a lot of SCCBC members involved racing and crewing!
Nothing reported on this website and in fact not much on FB either (although it is early in the week).
With only a lapping day or two to come in the season maybe there will be more 'on line' or media chatter in the winter?

I posted lots of my photos from Area 27 but didn’t post them on the SCCBC Facebook page as I have  got the impression over the past few years that SCCBC/CACC were not big fans of Area 27 or Lucky Dog but I could be wrong. I have no problem posting the photos on the SCCBC Facebook page if you want me to.  My whole thing is to help promote motorsport in B.C.

so, I come to here once in a while, but am on Facebook most of the day. Maybe there should be more concentration on using FB as a means of communication.

I would like to see PitPass  back if we can find someone to do it. Unfortunately it is very difficult to get content from members and drivers. FB is okay to slap some pic's up but we should still support our own website. The website hasn't had much going on for sometime with new info stories or video. I had in the past tried to get some video posted and was told no because it had nothing to do with SCCBC for example i saw a real dog fight with a Civic a Corolla at Bathhurst that I thought would be informative and showed driving skill at the limit with out carnage.
If we don't have fresh material of our own at least update with something racing related.
We need a website that is members only for discussion on subjects that shouldn't be public.
I did check the forum on a regular bases only stop when there was no new content.
When and Sara Hocaluk ran our media we had a lot of traffic on the forum because we always had something happening.

Well this is all really encouraging, action on the Forum!
I have someone that will edit a revived Pit Pass, what we need is a constant flow of club news.
Currently many clubs META, SCCBC, CACC etc are all getting used to Zoom.
Area 27 ran a Lucky Dog race.
A few club members are racing Go Karts at Greg Moore Raceway in Chilliwack.
There is lots happening in the world of BC motorsport we just need to decide how to let every one know!
Is it possible that all we need is to use this Forum? It would only take a story or two each week to make it informative and entertaining.
Bonnie and Kevin Wall becoming senior CACC drivers and racing so competitively at MRP is a nice story. Bonnie and Kevin have both written something on FaceBook but unless you check FB daily you probably didn't see it.
The story of how the club/RDC Driver Training worked this year might be news that members would like to hear more about.
Keep 'tuning in' we might get something working yet!
