The thread was reported after it deteriorated. It was pulled last night. We'll look at it later today and decide what to do with it.

The last time I looked at it, it looked like they were going round and round in a big convaluted circle with funny curbs painted like candy canes. The strange thing is that there never appeared to be any street signs, speed limit or cops on this stretch of road. I think the problem is that they were obviously SPEEEEEDING The guy in the Mini should be tossed in jail for blatenly blocking the Porche who was clearly late for work

It is very unfortunate that some guy can come on this board with his very first post on NAM and end up taking away a whole thread. It was also unfortunate to see that it became a reason for some to jump on his bandwagon and continue the attacks. Was interesting to go back and read past post from that person and see that most of them were condescending and uninformative. Don't really care what they say, but I do care when they have the power to take away an entire thread.

Dittos I didn't even get a chance to come back to see what the fuss was about before it was shut down...can we just remove the irrelevant posts from that thread and repost it? It was genuinely GREAT Mini racing on the track:smile:

Hopefully the moderators can craft a solution which enforces the rules against the guilty w/o denying the free exchange of ideas and opinions as practiced in accordance with the rules. (ie. try not to take the entire thread away to address the problems caused by a few posters. )

Just to clarify this point:

Threads moved to Under Review are just that - under review. Most of the time threads are moved there until we get the time to make edits/remove posts, and then move them back to the appropriate forum.

I probably contributed to the removal for cursing like a sailor. My apologizes.
