Talking Re: Ideal Div 1 schedule

I agree that the space between Lebanon and Cecil is a long one, but , tracks want to get as many cars as poss. and racing in mid July thru august is not that popular.

I am thankful that we have as many tracks in the northeast as we do. Seems that the vocal minority loves to throw a track under the bus when things go wrong.

Please Please keep in mind THEY AREN"T BUILDING ANY NEW TRACKS , so work with the situation best you can. I like all the tracks in our division, but they are all differant and require a diff. approach sometimes.
If you guys want to have fun. Race in Div 2!! We have ALL (ok 4 of 6) of our races in a 6 week period not to mention two national events and at least 1 IHRA points race all squeezed in there. I hope the new Div Dir will realistically look at this and help all the racers. We now have less 1/4 mile tracks in Div 2 than ever before. I would really like to be in Div 1 where you have the opportunity to race. I know there are other divisions worse off then us. Best of luck to you all.
