The RX-8 competition racing section isn't good enough for you?
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-racing-25/
If you're saying you want it divided up, that section of the forums hardly gets any traffic as it is.

the auto x stuff is useful for auto x and the track day stuff is well different.... and it would end the pissing what works for one does not work for the other...
the needs seem to be that different..
i think this is a better idea that the 25 letter spam rule...

I think a Newbie & FAQ forum would be a far better idea. A place where people new to the site can go and ask questions and get questions answered without having to deal with people being rude to them. Also, established members wouldn't have to deal with seeing the same questions asked over and over again in the other sections of the board. People can still encourage the newbies to search for their answers, but the less helpful established members that don't want to see the same things ad nauseum can just stay out of that forum.
And yes, the 25 character rule it totally useless and a pain in the ***.

while some might think that the comp section sucks, I agree with Swoope. It would be nice to be able to post about track days in one section. In the SE forum, we have a lot of threads about track days, probably more than any other section of this forum, and sometimes it would be nice to let others know about events, while they may not be down her in the SE, they might be close enough to want to join us. it would be a good place to gather all of those types of threads.
get a life, and go away please. just b/c you think the RX-8 sucks, does not mean we want to hear it from you. the 8 is a very trackable car, it is competant, and is starting to get more respect on the track than it did when it was brand new. and it deserves it.

Way to go Team - might has well have just said "Pie"
Swoope is right. I am new to the track and have done one autox and one track weekend and enjoy the Speedsource/Roar info. The competition section is one big list of threads that apply to everything.
Ike makes good points also - a place for n00b questions, and create places for focused info, and there will be more posts.
There are sub-forums under a bunch of sections - keep it all under competition - but just put a n00b specific, a road coarse specific, and an autox specific sub-forum set out there and see what shows up.

The problem is, n00bs don't want to use n00b sections. They want questions answered by the experienced members. How often do you expect some of the older members would go to a n00b section to answer questions?
While I don't autocross anymore, I would have to hit that section and the road course section when I come here. There is a lot of tech that crosses over between the two specialties. The major differences are the event results.

I've never once said the RX-8 sucks, the comment that you're getting all butthurt about is a running joke. Great, the RX-8 is a very trackable car, I never said otherwise. That doesn't change the fact that there are over 3x as many threads about interior bling and stereo equipment. The competition section is one of the least active sections on the board, check it once a week and you'll have over 2 weeks of threads and posts on the first page.
Al, mods will move threads to the noob section when needed. If they don't post in the noob section then they'll quickly learn, like they usually do now, that they need to search and post in the correct section. Also, the more helpful longtime members will go into the noob section and help people out, I've seen it work on plenty of other boards.

What is the problem with posting it in the competition section like others do? If you want to inform other people about a SE event post it in the competition section, it's what it's there for.

i just get confused when the autox and track people answer ?s... what works in autox is not what works on the track....
now the noob section sounds good.. all the crap could be moved there... and the not noobs could pick and choose what to answer...

I just don't see how you get confused when that section is not very active. The threads are usually clearly defined as being autox or track related, it just so happens that there are a lot more autox guys.

I agree with swoope, it would be nice to have the section seperated. C'mon, there are plenty of other sub forums that dont' get much activity but we have them: Sevenstock, BOTD, etc.
I don't auto cross my car OR take it on open track BUT if I ever did, I'm sure having two seperate sub forums would make it easier to find what I'm looking for.

Shock and Awe
I think the lounge should be broken up into sub-sections as well. There should be a moderator who weeds out all the reposts and places them in their own "repost" section. Then there should be an area for movie reviews separate from video game reviews. I dislike trying to figure out if Kobe Bryant is in the NBA, NFL or the UFC, so each sport should get it's own sub-forum as well. Of course we would need a sub-forum for pie, toast, and other "good job" items.

To be honest, I don't see the distinction. What is the real difference between an auto-x and a track? Obviously, at first glance, you might want to say a ton of stuff is different, but, in reality, if you were to take a high speed auto-x track (not high speed in general, but high speed for what auto-x utilizes) and a short curvy track, you start getting some more similarities. There is information that can be used for each.
If people are getting pissy because someone says to use a different alignment or tires or X because they come from an auto-x background and not track, then that person should be punched in the face for being a douche. Whereas, those of us who are not ardent track/auto-x guys but peruse the forums would start missing out on stuff do to the higher number of forums to keep track of. In reality, you could split the forums into a million things, but it would not be condusive to posting and sharing information.
Would subforums then be made for different classes of Auto-x? What about other forms of racing?
As others have said, it doesn't seem that the competition forum really gets enough traffic to really support being subdivided. Then again, I'm just chiming in because I am bored at work.
oooh! Break time!

If you split it into sections, it'll just confuse the people who want to post the kills and street racing threads. 
Are we talking about trying to sift out the kinds of arguments such as when someone posts a question *specific* to, let's say, 'BStock wheels and alignment for autox', and someone else answers it with, "put some 17x7.5's on, that's what I did for the track and it works great!" types of answers? If so -- that needs to be a matter of the answerer being more careful about what the question really is, and taking his licks when everyone else beats up on him for not reading with comprehension.
I personally like seeing the mix of people and types of racing threads in the competition section as it is now.
