Default Re: questions concerning christmas tree

It's not a "software problem", it's a "problem" in YOUR perception.

At best, it is a very minor "problem", if it is a "problem" at all.

Do you want to know why a lot of us don't give a damn about this mole hill you are desperately trying to make into Mount Everest? I'll tell you why. Because there are a lot of real problems, that are very serious problems for a lot of racers.

THESE problems are REAL deal breakers:

Increased purses and fees, with reduced payouts, which will most certainly be even further reduced next year. Nothing like spending more to get less.

Sportsman racers being held outside the gate, while tech is going on, and while their first time trial is being run, so that the "professionals" can park their rigs early. Nothing like driving all night and parking in a field, then being left there while the "pros" get their perks and your time trials go on without you.

Piss poor track preparation. Nothing like a wasted time shot because they are too cheap or too lazy to prep the track.

Absurd scheduling that makes it hard to keep on top of your plan for a day of racing.

Sportsman racing either canceled or rescheduled at ridiculous times due to weather. It's great to never get your shot at class because of a brief shower, when you had a great chance at the win. Never mind sitting around for 2-3 days missing work so the pros can finish first, when they have nothing to do but race.

Five day national events that could be done in three with decent scheduling and common sense, so people with an actual job wouldn't have to take a week off to go to a race and sit three days and race two. It's always cool to leave your business closed and not making money an extra couple of days, so you can sit and watch a dog and pony show on the three days of a five day event that you don't run.

I could probably list 20 more real serious problems that actually need attention, as opposed to the "perceived crisis" of "unfair " red light issues. As I said before, there are a lot of serious problems that Stock and Super Stock face, and yet here you are again, campaigning and complaining constantly about a hangnail, while we're all struggling to survive a sucking chest wound.
