    Terry, I'm obviously out of the loop when it comes to this series but it seems like the focus is on North East based tracks mostly. What is the reasoning for Nelson and Pittsburgh? Just trying to get some other tracks in the mix?

    Mickey - this is how a look at the series goes for me, and it's not a knock on it, just my viewpoint. I look at which events are the most fun, which tracks I enjoy, and have good competition. I then base my racing on that. Summit? Fun track, but if I'm going there it'll be for Labor Day weekend which IMO is one of the premier events on the East Coast for IT. April? Eh. Weather there is often not so appealing; even less than 100 degree heat during the summer. lol

    Maybe we need to come up with our own gentleman's championship. Both LRP events (the NARRC runoffs should be a part of this), both Palmer events, one Glen (maybe two), one Thompson, Summit Labor Day, hell at that point I'd throw in one of my least favorite tracks, NHMS.

    Again, I realize the chase for a points championship is appealing to many and respect that.

    They're Northeast Division tracks.

    The event at pittsburgh international will be on the new 2.9 mile course. So all of the regional class records will be up for grabs.

    So let me see if I understand this Dave. You want to start a Championship with your buddies, raceing at select tracks of your choices, for a points structure that you guys come up with.

    Next you will say you want a Spec tire, and your own rookie hazing, and your own seperate banquet and year end trophies. What an awesome idea. (NOT SARCASTIC) It does in fact really work and bolster entries. And its a hoot raceing with the same group of Cheatin Bastards every week. Go Ahead....

    Ok, I got an LOL out of that...

    But Dan, you missed a key part: create extra-regulatory requirements to restrict preparation and choose not to publish them, keeping them only as word-of-mouth so that if anyone else chooses to enter you can SHUN them into retreat...

    It is assimilation, not retreat.
