Jake,
Because I thought I might have lost my mind (which still might be true) after reading that you guys (You, Andy, & Kirk) are stull unbiased fence riders at this point, I made one of my assistants read the posts. He doesn't know squat about racing, SCCA, or even NASCAR.....thinks we are silly.
So he would not be just in my corner I had him skip my posts (I didn't want him to have more ammo on how dumb I am.) I just asked him to tell me who was for and who was against IT going National. He came away with you three in the FOR side. Which is the same thing I did and any other halfwit could see. Nothing wrong with that opinion. Heck Jake, the IT going National promo tour is on the Prod board, The Sandbox board, etc. (as you well know.) I call it the Promo Tour because no PTBer has really made ANY mention that IT could be making a mistake being a National Class. Lot's of "I want to run for a Nat. Championship,"...... but no......... "On the other hand there could be some problems that might not be so good." (Pretty much a promo.)
I have not seen one PTBer say something to the effect of, "MAYBE we don't need to go to THE RUNOFFS."
From our reps we have heard just the opposite.
Kirk,
Wouldn't IT be able to help / save the club by being a National Class without RO participation? Or is the "save plan", to draw those weak attended national classes into IT so the club can disolve the classes they are afraid to kill now? If so that is a sign that leadership needs to grow a pair!
Although not what you guys seem to want, the right path is to straighten out those classes and put an IT type control on them. If IT can be controlled (as you guys say) once it went National, then other already established national classes can be straightened out and ruled with an ITAC like iron fist. At somepoint history be damned, and you have to fix the broken. You don't break the successful trying to fix the other.
You guys seem to support the fix with IT being changed, because Runoffs glory might come with it. I can't fault ya'll for wanting to win the Runoffs, but I can disagree that ya'll want to do it in IT.
The answer (IMHO) lies in the BOD having a big enough sack to fix the weak classes and leave the strong as is. I don't know much about (anything I guess) Prod or Limited Prep, but that seems to be the two areas that are talked about most.
Hey and this isn't personal not even when I call ya'll Yankees and Charlie Priddles! I realize you guys work hard for the class and though I strongly disagree with the class going to the Runoffs, I doubt I would quit and run NASA full time.
