Which pts meet would you delete?

If you had the power to remove a points meet from the schedule in your Division, which one would it be and why? Maybe with enough input your division director will listen and move the event to a better track. Or at least force the track to make improvements!!!!

In D1 we have a pretty good amount of tracks with 3 of them holding National Events in Epping, Maple Grove & E-Town and I think it's only a matter of time before we see Virginia come back on the map with a National. I think if you asked most racers now in D-1 with Epping being on the schedule would be to move Virginia to D2 (Since it's very close to the NC Boarder) to give them something not in the lower states of Fla, Ga or Tn and maybe give Charlotte back it's Divisional. I know the 1st one wasn't successful to Bruton but, there was a hurricane coming up the coast so most racers we're worried about their personal things then racing. This way you have a well spread out map for D-2.

The other tracks would be Atco, Cecil & Leb Valley. I guess if there was one track that might need improvements and a lot of racers complain about is Leb Valley or Cecil. but, we can't expect every tack to be at National Event caliber with the facility's. I guess if we had to add a race would be to bring back Numidia. The track held divisionals up till 2004 and it was a play ground for a lot of D3 racers to come, jump the Ohio boarder and use it as an out of divisional race.

I'd trade Fallon, NV to get Famoso (Bakersfield) back on the calendar in a heartbeat.

I would get rid of all points meets and have Sportsnational events at National event facilities with National event payouts.

I 'vote with my feet' and attend the events of my choosing, as do others. Therefore, the free market decides which events are viable. I also seek to create and/or support independent events that fill an underserved need in that marketplace.

I always thought Cordova was outside of Division 5??

Here's another great idea, including having it at Pomona in the spring. I know, I'm idealistic, but what the hey?!!

Glad to see someone get this thread back on topic. Anyone else not happy with a division points meet and the track where it is run?
