Jeff,
good points Jeff. Conference league does sound rather like an amateur
part of the sport. It may well be, but the excitment it at times produces, perhaps then, it does deserve to be re-named. How about 'super league', or 'primary league', or, 'first league', or, 'principal league'. Just a thought good buddy.
I'm a Belle Vue fan, but love watching Buxton in the conference. Its good honest grass roots racing, and as you say, the title 'conference' does little to portray all that it is so wothwhile about that level of the sport. Whats in a name ? hey !!
