I agree with you Mike that there are more pressing issues that affect S/SS racing more than this, but does Glendora seem to care about the more pressing issues? I think not given that in just the last 3yrs:

1. Entry fees for national events have increased $65 bucks...from $240 to $305!

2. Indexes were lowered by 3 tenths of a second.

3. Oil down penalties will be accessed against us now (even though most of them are caused by racers in other classes...mainly the pros).

4. Contingency posting dollars have gone down, but....

5. The regulations for Automatic tranny racer contingencies has gone up.

I could name more, but I named enough reasons, since none of them seem to matter.
