Jack, if our Division Director had been worth a damn, there could have been more than enough cars to support LODRS races at Bristol, as well as Charlotte, as both tracks can easily draw from at least one or two other Divisions. Bristol can easily draw from both 1 and 3, and Charlotte can draw from 1 easily, and there are plenty of racers from 3 that would go to Charlotte as well.
The Division management has to want it badly enough to go get it done, and they didn't, and probably still don't.
We have 5 races, all in two states, in a Division that serves seven states. There is ZERO excuse for that. Division 2 racers have been begging for a 7 race schedule for years, along with some races outside of Florida and Georgia (Atlanta or further south). We've had extra classes at our division races, too.
Honestly, they just made our schedule twice as bad as it was. More conflicts with other divisions, and more races stacked on top of each other, requiring either a lot more driving, or a lot more time off from work, or both. In this economy, they have you racing two weekends in a row, three times in eight weeks. They done nothing but kill off more potential car count, making the races less profitable for the track owners, and making it even harder to run for the racers. They've done more of exactly what most racers asked them to do less of. That's a real slap in the face for paying customers.
