Your first responses have merit (although those who've patronized the more expensive races from D's 1,7, and even 6 since they charge as much for a divisional as 7), but I feel if they can afford to go to those races, then why not come here like they used to? Your budget comment is credible, but if Larry and Patsy Hill are coming out here (from over 2k miles away!) amongst others, then where's all of the California racers, and others from around Az., that used to always show up here?

I'll agree that 'Vegas is a better track than Firebird International Raceway (I spelled it out due to the REAL Firebird Raceway being near Boise, Id.). However, I will reserve that "fun" comment, since I recall having to run a first round race at a divisional (either in '09, or '08), between 11pm Sat. night, & 1am Sun. morning (when most/all other race tracks would be closed for the night, and their racers would be sleeping and racing at least 7hrs later Sun. morning). I won't fondly remember that, especially after having to hang out at the track for hours prior to that modified schedule! Thus, not one of our Div. directors better decisions...he definitely didn't have the best interest of his racers in mind then!
