and yes, i do have knowledge of the losses incurred for events, but not MidSouth's entire annual operating budget. but MidSouth region is not the only entitiy at risk here, and that's what the schedule makers of the past few years are totally missing. their actions affect not only their region, but everyone around them.Originally Posted by Phil
and yes, phil should be thanked for volunteering his time and effort, but that doesn't mean all his decisions are financially sound. let me ask a few questions....
1) is a race with 50 cars across 30 some odd classes really a "race" at all?
2) how large of a loss should be acceptable for an event?
3) how long should the region BOD allow money losing events to continue?
4) what input should the rest of the division have on each other's schedule?
5) if we schedule more races, does that mean the region gets more entries on the year?
6) if we schedule more races, does that mean the division gets more entries on the year?
7) how much weight does a "championship" carry if you never race against more than one or two other people because everyone just stays close to home?
8) does two 50 car events, or one 100 car event do more to attract new members?
9) if the majority of your entrants are made up of SEDiv members, should you be considered part of MiDiv or SEDiv?
10) how many races are "reasonable" to have on the division calendar, and how do you determine that number?
