i don't disagree with any of that Andy.

at least in the case of SM, i don't think it's so much what NASA is doing right, but how SCCA is pissing everyone off that's the cause for defaction. NASA has way too many classes just like SCCA does, but my understanding is that they've done a fair bit of consolidation this year compared to last. i could be wrong though.

sure, NASA's core of HC guys are on the decline, speculation is that Spec Tire is a primary reason for that. but SCCA's money maker SM and SRF have been dropping off as of late also.

i don't know what the #'s are up at MO this year, but estimates right now for the RO's is about 100 lower than last year. not good. NASA is gaining momentum from where i sit, and SCCA is losing it.
