Russ, The Roaring Season isn't an NZ website, its international. It has international membership and international content. The text at the bottom of the Header reads "International Bench Racing Community For Historic Motor Racing And Motorsport History". It does have very strong NZ content, thanks in part to my passion for NZ motorsport history, but its an international website. I have nothing against modern motorsport, I follow several different formulae around the world, but there are plenty of forums that already cater for this. In my experience, the subject of modern motorsport and motorsport governing bodies almost always gets extremely heated, and ends with people getting pissed off and just leaving the forum for good.
Ten-tenths has an international and national Single Seater section:

http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=37 I've read several NZ related threads on both of these.
If I let a debate about the state of modern NZ motorsport run, I then have to let similar threads be created for the US, the UK, Australia, etc etc, and before we know it, The Roaring Season is no different to any other online discussion forum.
