need some honest feedback.

It's 2am and I can't sleep so I was catching up on 5 months of "being banned reading"...

Reasons for missing 3 events in order of actual importance...

1. Empty engine bay because driver stuck gearshift into first instead of 3rd at a DE event in November...ooops!
2. MF'ing Divorce...also known as budgetary issues! :roll:
3. Low energy level to spend time and money on a dusty racecar sitting on jackstands in the middle of the garage while tripping over a transmission, driveshaft and a slew of other engine parts.
4. through 10... Missing, let me know if you find them....
11. Management....I now realize it's as good as it gets and have reset expectations much lower....and the fun level somehow went up. classifying it as just not giving a shoo didley poo. Yes, I typed shoo didley poo.

$0.02 about MSRH and the new configuration:

.01 It's a racetrack, we race on it and I usually start at the far back. I am happy to have another track than just cresson and TWS to race on. Excited about Eagle's Canyon and can't wait to race on it too. Wouldn't mind going back to Hallet...much.
.02 Don't know what you guys are complaining about the new wall but I ran within a couple tenths of my best lap times there and I think the surface is faster than last year. No donuts or wrinkles and I hold the gas to floor going over the launch...if you lift you're a pansy! :wink: :P

Suggestions about management:

1. It's the only game in town. SuperRookie has learned that and no longer expects anything ground breaking.
2. They seem to suddenly be listening to suggestions. We should continue to make suggestions.
3. They are short staffed and need to hire from a "more experienced" base of employees. High School kids don't have the know how to handle things.
4. Promotion of the Region....needs serious improvement for ALL CLASSES. Racers shouldn't be the only means of promotion ideas. This is a tough task and requires a lot of effort.
5. Don't act like the only game in town....this is getting better as Jay actually thanked me for showing up in Houston and sounded like he meant it. Again, showing improvement.
6. Strive to be the best region...they need to figure that one out by working with National and finding out what makes other regions successful and then strive to keep things consistant. Go with what others have already figured out works. Just because Rick S. has a highly successful HPDE program in this region doesn't mean that NASA can't too.

That's about it....hope that wasn't too negative. :D
