I believe things will start picking up again in Winter where there's far less outdoor activity that occupy people from GT6 driving/racing.
As we all can see, many of us are still competing in the seasonal events, which means most of us are still around with GT6.
To be honest, and this issue had been addressed before, the management of the club have to put more time and effort to promote the race and causal night event.
I understand this is a volunteer job, however, once you are committed to it, you then have to commit.
Where the club has 3 people in the management, most of the time it's actually a one man band.... team owner absent most of the time, the team manager rarely post and show up, the last one tried very hard but he can't be the only one who does all the work since he has a job and family too.
It is sad about this is happening but I hope/guess things will change a bit in the Winter or when GTS comes out in the Winter(if there's no delay)

COmpletely understand where you're coming from but what you have to realize is that things do change in peoples lives. If not, we would have the same group of people here that we had from the beginning and that certainly isn't the case. Every person that was with us from the start has moved on except myself. I'm certainly not trying to tear SAC apart by any stretch. Things have changed over the past few years and I simply cannot commit to every Thursday evening. I think you guys knew that anyway as I have been missing lots of races lately. Now that's not to say I won't be racing on Thursdays here and there and hopefully with all of you guys. My life just won't allow me to do it every week at this time. I've been trying to juggle too many things for years now and its now just too much. I think Manny and Stock can recall this has been an issue for some time. That was the whole reason for creating a Management TEAM. When this started I knew I would be unable to handle the "Events". Plus seeing the lack of racers over the past few weeks doesn't help either seeing as lots of people have also moved on to the 4.
Anyway, again, I will be hosting a race next Thursday at "normal" time but it depends on how many will be interested in racing that night also.
So I/we will still be around. Just not with regularity.

We knew this day would come guys!!
But it doesn't mean it's the end, SAC will move on to GT Sport and a new era of racing and SAC will start.👍
With the new PS4 Slim at a cheap price and the PS4K at a higher price I am sure all of us will transfer ( some of you already did)
So it's sad that this day has come, but think about all the mayor accomplishments we did in the GT6 life spand!! We freaking did amazing guys!! And if we were able to do that here with the PS3 can you imagine how much better it will get in the PS4 with GT Sport?! Man that is gonna be amazing! All of us will be sharing moments with the game capture option! There will be no need for me to upload the races
As for management goes, it's true that things change guys. Spinning Arrows Club is just not one man (Tarkus) Spinning Arrows Club is all of us!! Cause we can share our Ideas like tarkus has told us before
So SAC is In us no matter what... Once a SAC always a SAC.
So once we decide to move SAC to GT Sport it will be a new beginning and fresh start for the club as well!! We gonna show them new guys how good we make our arrows spin out in the map and track
Cheers

We'll all still be around one way or another. Plus remember that we are still going to be doing some main events. I know I mentioned NASCAR for early/mid September but with the news that may have been overshadowed a bit.

it's true that GT6 is on its last leg at the moment and with many of us have already got the PS4 and I am not surprised people are swaying between the GT6 and PCar.
I hope, when GTS comes out at the end of this year, we will see some new faces through the lobby PLUS some of those current PCar/former SAC will join back the club.
Regarding the hosting, we might have to try changing the format a little bit in the future where couple more drivers/members can host the Thursday night races thus split up the weight on tarkus1 and Mazda.

Hey Alex, I love you bro, I really do.... We are team Lexus!!! But you need to know something. Hosting takes a lot bro cause the host is the face of the club. Tarkus has done a great job bro! He has.... Yes he has a bunch of no shows, but we had Tjger to fill up, then me, then Mazda, then Eh... So you gonna be mad at us too bro?
As a friend I want you to run a club bro,.. Is not easy.
I have a club and I do better then SAC but at the same time is hard. So the only voice I see and know is Tarkus And Mazda.... Lets not get angry brother.... Lets make the club better

Manny Manny, my teammate, I think it's because English is my second language thus you thought my post was a rant.... ?
it's regarding the last paragraph, what I mean is SAC is still the club we are racing at, and we can have members who can volunteer to be the host or take turns to be the host, in case tarkus1 or Mazda is unavailable.
to be honest, if you guys don't mind the night start at 9pm EST, I wouldn't mind be an occasional host.
What I says on the previous post is a suggestion to relief some work load for tarkus1 and Mazda, easy buddy.

This sucks however I know me and Mazda and eh tried multiple times to get more drivers however none would show up for the races after inviting them. It's the fading of gt6 in it all its been out almost 3 years most games usually played don't last past a few months so what tarkus and Mazda and Manny and eh have done is an accomplishment by itself. Since I moved over a month ago my ps3 is still in the box I had packed it in and using the ps4 when I have the time. Life been so much better since I moved however I do miss the online racing. With AC coming out it will have its heyday for 6 months or so before GTS comes out which every driver plays and I can see the gathering of the S.A.C. and maybe the S.R.M. gang from pcars coming back together. Which means instead of Alex delivering BBQ pork to tarkus it should be a ps4. I wish all the best to everyone and hope to catch yall online at some point.

Thanks for understanding guys. It does get difficult at times but i do see a couple good ideas here. Regarding new people not coming in, I agree. I've seen a list of new people that are interested but never show up to race. Now there's no real problem at all but how cool would it be to have full lobbies again.
So I do like the idea of multiple hosts but I also think Mazda has done a great job lately when I haven't been available.
In the end I think we'll all be racing again one way or the other, most likely GTS but we'll see. In the meantime, I WILL be hosting a race this Thursday but possibly a little later like 8:30 to 9 if anyone is available.
I won't be posting any agenda as this will be like it was back in the very very early days. Show up and race and we'll work out the details of tracks and PP, etc. by voting.
Going back to new people... When GT6 was in its "prime" we would regularly host public lobbies. These days since the 4 has been released we simply knew interest was dwindling so we didn't recruit like we once did.
Anyway, enough of that, who's racing this thursday? I can always make sure to have Trial Mountain in there for @MannYhAvitZ vs Tarkus1 part 8!!!!

Very good question my friend and glad you asked.
For those interested, I will be hosting a NASCAR event on September 22nd. This is not the dirty NASCAR that we've all gotten used to. This will be a real event with pits, tire changes, refueling, etc. I'm not putting this on page 1 just yet as there's really minimal info compared to one of the other events but the race will have a qualifying section with the actual race lasting for 1.5 hours.
Please post if you are interested as obviously this depends on how many people intend on making the race.
