Tiff,
They were basically saying that although the organisers have claimed it not to be a race, people looking to participate are talking about power figures of their cars on various sites and so have a different view of what it is all about.

Whilst talking he held up a print out of a PF chatroom page with your sig near the top, no specific mention to the site or yourself was made and it was only a glimps of the page but felt it was worth a mention. More than likely they have tapped into a thread on the topic and printed a page off.

They said that they would be looking to cancel the event if the organisers couldn't convince them that it wasn't going to be a race.
