Great idea!!!!

Laurie???

Sausage I think he meant racing as in Formula / long board?

Great idea.

There has been a resurgence of interest in Formula racing in WA and we look set to have a reasonable size fleet this summer.

It would be good to have a Forum dedicated to the racing scene to share tips and technique.

I'd also like to see a racing category. That way we can post all the details about events across the country in one spot. It would be good for sharing ideas, info, etc.

Oops my bad - should have read cam's OP.

There are pros and cons with creating more sub forums.

The pros have been listed. The con is mainly the fragmentation of discussion. This could lead to forums becoming dead along with less cross fertilisation unless there is a critical mass of participants to keep the forum alive. For example there may be a discussion on harness line length or a new race sail. This sort of discussion is probably relevant to many windsurfers who don't race and are not interested in racing. So they may miss out on reading about whats going on or won't share their thoughts, because its in the racing forum.

This fragmentation has happened a bit with the wavesailing forum.

What about the upcoming event service on Seabreeze? Sometimes races are announced there.

Edit: having a racing category to use to filter threads could achieve a similar result to having a separate forum.
