When the last pair go down the track it looks like rush hour in the Tokyo suway for everyone to get out of there.The last thing you'll see is a teardown session.
My opinion/solution?
Remove sportsman racers,up to and including Comp. (if the comp guys want to),from
nationals and run us at two sports nationals in each division.That's 14 races.Make the
points counting towards the W/C consist of the usual 5/8 divisionals and 2/4 sports nats.
The tourers can still run all the races they want.The budget guys get a bit of a break.
That,and a little budgeting work on the part of Glendora would free up enough caash to pay the divisin tech people what they deserve for what they do.It would also pay for the equipment needed to do the work.
Hell,they just voted two more cash cows to the board,so they could figure out a way to come up with the cash to fund a quality tech dept.
Lastly no more East coast/West coast rule book.
I'll put the bong down now and retire to my bedroom.

Ed, I like this ideal of yours best, because I could care less about being at a national event with the pros...they (and the alcoholic cars), get most of the tv air-time anyhow, so I won't go out of my way to watch them at any national events I might attend, when I can go home and see them on ESPN. I'd rather watch Stock & Super Stock (when not racing myself). I wish there would be more sportsnationals (sans the Tad's and Tafc's), for the reasons you stated...thanks Ed! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU 2!!!
