Thank you ihra ?..

I get the excitement over IHRA coming back and it's like Christmas morning and you come downstairs to a new bike and first thing you want to do is ride it around the neighborhood to show all your friends but I feel like they should have got all their ducks in a row first, and you know what if 2026 is the year you roll out a schedule then do so at least it looks like the right thing.

The problem is everyday it is something else, they bought the track, no they didn't, yes we did....etc, it's like a grade school fight over a girl who's spreading rumors about what you did behind the school after hours, I mean maybe it will work for them and the success will be amazing, but time will tell. To me it's going to be tough when you announce a schedule in March, a lot of business owners want PTO in by December for the next year, so trying to get off or if your independent your now adding more weeks / weekends off to your schedule and money income (I know 60% of everyone on here is retired but, there are a few working scrubs still out doing this). I mean right now we're Mid-March, no rule book as to what they are going to allow or not, no payouts or entry fees, I have faith that Rich & Allen will get the ship moving but sometimes you have to pump the brakes to make sure they are working properly and I feel they just floored the gas with a cliff up ahead.

I brought exactly this up on a bookFace post a couple months back and was basically told "that didn't matter".

I have 8 weeks of PTO but just started a new position with my company a few months back, I had my 2025 racing plans set but the new position has like 20 less people so my boss already told me that I'll prob lose my time at years end because they can't guarantee all my PTO and I don't call out sick, just not how I was raised.
