Casey: I am with you on this one.

This is the most interesting change proposed since we changed from
1/2 Second brackets to a dial in ( Mid 60s out West).

Not reallyto our personal advantage at our home bracket races....but a fair change for
everyone.

We dial our cars at absolutely the bottom allowed in Sportsman Bracket.........
We win the LVMS track championship more years than not = because of the
advantage of leaving last (Always chasing does not hurt either)......But it is high time to level the field and make it fair for everyone. I am not saying it is a Giant advantage but where the racer are all pretty evenly
matched......by the end of a 12 race series it is often enough to make the difference!

Our track car count has been dropping like a rock in Sportsman the last
few years as competitors notice the top 5 in points looks like a 12.0 Index
Class every year.

We used to have 40 or 50 cars or more often at the dozen track points meets in Sportsman at one of the nicest track in the country.....Now a Dozen
low 12 Cars are often all that is there. It is not economically possible
to run a big expensive tracklike LVMS on that Amount of car count.
