I didnt delete it....

And just about the time I was recovering from reading the $400 thread... Quite frankly, that thread is filled with pretty much the same BS and rhetoric as this one.

I will comment here to keep it from being assumed that others are speaking for me. I joined NASA and this series because SCCA takes themselves WAAAAYY too seriously for my taste. With that said, there are some here who are probably better suited to compete someplace else.

Here are a few points from my perspective:

I support the manner is which the CMC rules set has been enforced in the Texas region regarding allowing non-compliant cars to race under special circumstances. Fix-It Tickets serve one purpose and one purpose only, every single one of them adds to car count. Also, I believe the position points argument to be irrelevant in an 18 car field.

I support stepped up Tech inspections. Tech is welcome to inspect anything on my car they may so chose to. However, if I have to remove a single bolt then I'll probably take a DQ. Personal choice as I hate working on my car at the track, period.

I support the points made by Mosty and Richard in regards to NASA being compared to LeMons. 2 different business models for 2 different markets.

I support the idea that some minor changes could improve our events.

I thank past and present management along with fellow competitors who worked to build our car count to what is today. Amazing!!!

Just wait for the movie. it will be out in a theater near you.

Wow - I just sat down and read this entire thread and now my head hurts. Nobody take this the wrong way, but it makes me wonder if Glenn is off his meds, Matt is off his rocker, and Al is bored from being on vacation for too long. Please take this offline, get on a conference call, figure a few things out then get back to us with some constructive dialogue.

Thanks

Yeah, Classic tale of a barrel of apples!!!

There always seems to be a minority contingency that swears the whole system is fucked up and doomed to fail while the rest of us are content.

Boudy pretty much has covered my thoughts exactly and I'll add a little more of my thoughts to it.

I have no problem with more tech... but I don't want it while I am hot still in my driver suit. Do it before the race or after I get to the pits and my suit is off. I also have no desire to turn wrenches on race weekend.

This is supposed to be for FUN racing... NONE of us are on a fast track to bigger and better racing. Jack Roush, Gannsi...etc... are not scouting our events for their next great talent. I often tell people I am off on a fantasy weekend and enjoy the escape from the real world, but I have NO visions of gandeur...this is just for personal fun.

And folks....since this is just for fun.... I would suggest that when the fun ends....it is time to find a new avenue for fun. JMHO
