I think that a large part of the concern though is workers. Its another full day off for them, and that's tough.

How would that be different when NCR responsible for the "optional" Friday practice and qualifying. Suddenly you're no longer worried about staffing registration and tech in the afternoon, but need to have tech around all day to man scales, need to have T&S folks, need to have corner workers. An optional day for drivers is a mandatory day for volunteers.

Gregg, gotcha now on the open wheelers, sorry. Honestly though? My belief is that this is a regional weekend and the focus needs to be to make it work for regional drivers.[/b]
Agreed. I wanted you to have a little background when dealing w/ a regional issue (such as what kind of uproar there might be when drivers feel disenfranchised at a at a regional event or series). We found that dealing with those same people/cars can cause a large s*** storm that can quickly move from being just a local issue to being a national one. If the same people feel like their toes are being stepped on again there might be more pushback than expected.
