It may be a bit less exciting than Germany in 1990, but I found this question posed on the Chicago Region website club racing page:

In my opinion the split into two divisions was a mistake. I would like to see the divisions explore what it would mean and what it would take to re-unite.
What do you think?

edit: RE's were polled. GL generally in favor, CenDiv generally opposed. Dead issue.
This came from CenDiv. Maybe things change.
"CENDIV" or "A person in CENDIV"?Quote:

From newsletter of Steve Harris Area 4 director:
Reunification of Central Division
Last month, I conducted a Straw Pole among Great Lakes Division RE’s, newsletter editors, and other leaders of the Division. The questions was “Should we reunite Area 4 (Great Lakes Division) and Area 5 (Central Division)?” The results:
- 56% For
- 26% Against
- 17% Ambivalent
At the same time, a poll was taken in Area 5. The result of that poll was 70% against. And that kills this discussion for now. Area 5 Director Bob Lybarger and I continue to discuss the matter, but without buy-in from Area 5, we can go no further. It takes two to dance.
There is some discussion among the BOD about gerrymandering parts of NeDiv such that western Pennsylvania would become part of GLD. I spoke with some attendees from Steel Cities and Mahoning Valley regions at the convention and they liked the idea. It would also add BeaveRun to our racetracks. Don’t get too excited as this is just “beer talk” right now.
Yeah probably the same conversation. Frustrating. Our regional racing has suffered, but our national stuff is more popular. I guess not surprising.
