For me it wasn't about time off as I get 4wks per year at my job, and I've been there for 14+yrs. It was money (or lack thereof), for that race. It being our slow season and with no o/t offered, no money for national events is available, and without it I'll be focused mainly on the points meets. I'm sure the Graham's don't mind since they get a 1st rnd bye tomorrow morning....This last election isn't helping the cause either, as so far I'm not doing as well financially as I was these previous 4 months from 1yr ago....
