Michael,
Great idea. It makes sense, but I'm pretty sure what makes money for Field is being discussed rather than what makes sense for the racers. I thought the TOC was a good idea. I like the format. I had even considered going to Rockingham and racing the Sports Nationals race. I had 3 customers in the TOC and quite a few friends that were going to be there. I figured it would be a big party and good time. If Mike Baker had done away with the 1.40 under hit, as I ask, when attempting a record it would have been even more tempting to go. Issues with $$ and my Dad's health kept me away. It seems by all the posts that it was a real money pit and miserable time for most racers. (party never got started??)Glad I stayed home. Going 1100 miles one way is tough on the pocketbook at today's prices. I hope it works out for the best and they decide to try it one more year. To my friends and customers that won their way in I say: Good Work and Congratulations. Hope you make it in next year.
