Alan I disagree with you. He was not hired soley to be a public relations guru, or a liason between racers and NHRA he is the top guy in the division.
I raced division one for years and never remember Darwin Doll coming around and greeting racers

Amazing that they use to run Blaney all in one day and that was when the Pros still raced at the division races.

They pretty much did Bowling Green in two days back then, and it was already the tune up race for Indy.

To many "CIRCUS SIDE SHOWS" today to get everything done on time. The stock S/S racer is getting the short end of it.

I never said he was hired solely to be a public relations "guru".

Did Darwin Doll take over a train wreck like Division 2, from a guy who ran things like Bill Holt?

Without racers, there's no need for the Division. Take a look at the number of races in Division 2. Take a look at the car count. Take a look at the number of member tracks, and the general health of the Division.

One thing is for sure, if only the classes he seemed to have time for at Reynolds showed up at the Division 2 LODRS events next year, it'd be the last year they'd have any LODRS races. The "prestige" of having an LODRS race only goes so far, they can only afford to lose a certain amount of money. If the regular car count drops much more, while they require the tracks to host the "free entry" classes, and pay their purses, Division 2 won't even have 5 races next year.

Running the Division entails getting races on the schedule, and racers to the races, as well as making the races actually happen. That hasn't been happening in Division 2. The Division Director answers to Glendora, the racers of the Division, and the member tracks. At least to some extent, the Division Director works for the racers who pay the bills.

One of the main reasons Division 2 is in the poor shape that it is in is because the racers tolerated Bill Holt and his attitude for far too long. If we allow the division to accept some minute improvement, or no improvement at all, over what we had with Bill Holt, then we deserve the crappy division we'll get because of it.
