The geographical spread of Midiv is horrible....and, what's worse, we've got tracks in every freaking corner of the division. Even when the economy was "good", a divisional championship wasn't much more than an attendance award for most classes. Now? It's ugly, and only getting worse while the race groups try to figure out how to stay solvent.

Trans is currently out of the car getting a rebuild since I munched the synchros on 2,3,4 trying to catch your bimmer!
Get all of those other guys back on a good weekend where everything is running well and it will be a hoot.
There were guns there....they just wouldn't fire. Not your fault OR mine that they chose high-strung cars instead of reliable (cough) IT cars.
I figured McClughan was in trouble when I wandered past his paddock spot one time on Saturday and it looked like he had half (or more) of the wiring harness laying on the ground.
If those guys (and others like them) would get their stuff sorted and reliable and whip up on us all proper-like, that would help keep us from making very dumb and expensive decisions about car prep - we'd just pull back and stay in IT where the car is "competitive".
