I don't race a Stocker or Super Stocker, but I've been Bracket racing for 10 years now so I think I'm permitted an opinion on this... Yeah, I don't have the entry fees like you guys, nor the tow bills, but my family supports me and we try and have a good time racing here in the Northwest just the same despite having a special needs child that now is in the early stages of kidney failure. The car counts have been going down for a while now, especially last year. And now with the economy in the tank it's a real dumb move to say the least. The only thing that I guess I can bitch about is WHY THE HELL THE COMP # FEES DOUBLED? The only reason we bracket racers "need" one is for the ET Finals event at the end of the year.... Yeah, $80/2 years just so I can allowed the apparent privelge of racing at the Finals? All for just hitting the "renew" button or whatever the admin in Glendora does to keep it assigned to me? THAT is crap! The 'white house' in Glendora gets rid of the oil down penalties so I guess they had to recoup that money AND THEN SOME from us. A bunch of you have made a point of how the Sportsman racer is supporting the Pros. Well, throw in us bracket guys and that's a LOT of money from the customers that will be affected the most by it. Thousands of members with a least one number, let alone my fellow racers that are Stockers, the Index classes...

Thank you Dan Fletcher. It's a privilege to see someone as yourself stand up for a principle. To those making excuses for the raises: do I still have a job and can afford the doubling? Yeah, but that's NOT the point. It, along with some other increases were way out of line and when will it stop?

Sincerely,
Jerry Gossette
