    Yeah, a lot of Benjamin's. I got to watch my race group go out once from my students car .....a race group which I was on ST2 pole and would easily won TWO Hoosiers....about $650 worth. Racers can't be instructors if they can get screwed.
    Ah, fugg it.

    I have seriously considered offering it up for sale. Also has new engine that has only one weekend on it. I have created the ad....just keep back and forth on whether or not it is worth selling or just keeping.

    Those of you considering closing shop need to make sure Will hears and understands your position. I THINK its fixable if we head it off at the pass....and no disrespect to Marshall or Glenn, but don't assume your directors are voicing your complete position. Email or call will directly. I did and had a long conversation with him and tried to explain to him some Texas history and discuss how most cars are prepared here. Most don't have fuel cells and the higher powered cars can't make 40-45 minutes. A lot of cars may need reconfigured. Its also hot here....enough said. NOT every region only has 2 races. Tx is NOT the only one running 4. We are not the only rogues. Voice your concerns because if its just a handful of us complaining, he isn't going to take it seriously.

    If you remember when Dave came to town, he wanted the format changes as well. In time he came around. This is the same thing part deux.

    Evidently, competitive CMC cars are worth $35K.

    Matt,
    No worries. I will go and fight for the group, but there is nothing keeping individuals to start beating drums and sending letters... We all need to voice our opinion.

    I hate to agree with Matt, just on the principle. Yes, we all need to let Will know that while fewer races may not run everybody off, it will certainly impact the interest and number of events people attend.
