Jay T Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I’d like to first state that I have never had a problem with the RVA Graphics or Glazed and Confused Teams. This is not about them at all. I don’t know the complete list of teams that are also Sponsors. Secondly, I’m not accusing any ChampCar Official of anything. Recent events caused me to think about this topic. Currently there are teams racing for trophies and ChampCar credits that are also Sponsors of either the series and/or races. This could cause a conflict of interest when any issue with that team occurs. Even when there is clear evidence, it could cause an appearance of impropriety. Once again, I am not accusing anyone of impropriety. I think we need to eliminate the chance that there is a conflict of interest, real or perceived. To do that I suggest that any team that provides any compensation, money or otherwise, should not be able to run for the “ChampCar Podium” as defined in the BCCR. Additionally, ChampCar is required to release the value of any compensation for any team that provides compensation and runs a car in ChampCar. I love the Sponsors! They make racing more affordable for us all. Let’s make sure everything is transparent and eliminate any appearance of impropriety. Opinions?

MoparBoyy Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Do you also not realize this happens in every other series, including top level without issue. I have personally never thought of it as an issue and if something were to come up, the membership would flip out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jab31169 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Yea this goes in the big bucket of No Big Deal for me. As long as they play by the same rules who cares, just more cars to run against. Edited October 12, 2018 by Jab31169 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvumtnbkr Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hey everybody! That horse we were beating on in the new rules thread appears to be almost dead. Lets go beat on this new horse that has zero impact on anybody! (Oh, except a negative impact on the people that are helping to provide us with this racing series....)

Hi_Im_Will Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Let them complete. Why would anybody ever sponsor a series where they can't race for the win? Just make sure to enforce the rules equally and transparently. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Sounds like you had a shitty weekend and that sucks but I firmly don't agree with that you are suggesting. For what its worth. I was racing with @Hi_Im_Will where a call had to be made which resulting in RVA losing a position in a championship race. Champcar had no problem doing this even thought it was their title sponsor. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Infiniti Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 One would think the sponsor run cars would have to double down on being "right" when inspected. Another vote for this being a non-issue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer28173 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) What pisses me off is getting beaten by cars that AREN’T chipping in money to drive down the cost of racing. Kidding Seems like the forum isn’t concerned. Of course we are only 1% so nothing can be learned from such a small sample size. Green font. Ok - I swear that is my last 1% joke, but only if @red0 promises to stop using memes. Edited October 12, 2018 by Racer28173 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
