Two responses from me. Four trackdays under my belt so far this month.
1. If a particular organiser is weak we should name and shame them. We can all avoid their days and our Chairman can write to them informing them of our boycott and asking for assurances about safety improvemnts.
2. We should organise more of our own trackdays and we should support them rather than being obliged to go to commercial operators for our trackday fun.

Good Points but....
1) Can we please NOT openly name and shame any organiser as there might well be legal implications for the club, even if you are expressing an opinion - I think complaints of this type need to be taken up directly with the organisers concerned.
I've been on the receiving end of this myself at a TD last year after being cut up a treat by the same person more than once. I was told at the time that the organisers rely to quite some extent on the marshalls looking after the track reporting back as well on the travelling instructors.
I must say though - if someone ever brought me off on a TD (unless there was a DAMN good reason, I'd have serious thoughts about using the same organiser).
2) DSC TD's - More than ever (hopefully !!!) this year, but as I recall there is a financial constraint that they MUST NOT run at a loss - so if enough places are not filled before hand then an event could be cancelled....
Use 'em or lose 'em.
