Just Like James & Dennis said Dave, Gloria, Bill, and some guy named Russ do a great job with the ECSSSA. Dave has taught me and gave me lots of pointers with the Mid Atlantic .90 Association and I believe his help has turned the Association into what it is today.

Even Dave has felt the sting of trying to run a big $$$ event the day before a D1 race and got burnt on it at Atco many years back. It's just tough to get people away from the prestige and wally chasing not matter what you put together. You could put together a $25,000 to win Stock / SS race and someone will tell you "Well, there's a National Open in Cayuga for $2,000 & a Wally" so I'm going there. I know it sounds insane but, I had people drive pass Numidia (I mean travel past the exit to the track...Yes, it's a tough tow) to go to Charlotte in 2013 because it was a National Event.

Plus weekends you have off to put on an event you run into Association Events such as ECSSSA, All-Stars, NESSA, Mid Atlantic.90 Association, TNT Super Series and you end up hurting the series that actually support the racers and make them feel welcomed.
