Default Re: Div 2 a 2 stater once again? FL GA

All good points Alan, with the new director having a marketing background I would have thought the same as you about getting off to a good start....my only thought is that everybody goes into a new situation differently, some go in slow and easy to make sure they understand the lay of the land while others might charge in a bit more aggressively. But think we all want the guy to succeed ultimately and I'm trying to maintain a postive outlook. I think Art was correct in suggesting the schedule was handed to him without any real chance to alter it...the current D2 schedule sucks, there is no sugar coating that one. It works good for snowbirds and a few others and largely ignores most of the racers within D2, I can't defend that one. A D2 racer really going after the points is going to log a ton of miles but doubt the D6, D7, etc racers have much sympathy for us given what they do to chase points. It is what it is and we wait for the other shoe to drop out of Glendora concerning rules/classes.

As to SGMP, I knew that with Carl not conceding on the Alcohol deal then his attractive early year date being 'open' would entice but just didn't think it would convince them. Sincerely hope you're right about them having a good car count. 2011 could very well be a 'make or break' year for NHRA class racing.
