No other member would be as affected by things done by the organization as people who participate in these races. I don't think people that don't race or only bracket race would have the interest that divisonal and national racers would have. The bracket racers would be represented by their track owners and the track owners could speak for their racers. People that don't race at all shouldn't have a voice in how the organization is run. I'm not talking about taking a vote on day to day issues. This mebership model is how the SCCA is run with the voting members voting for a board of directors. The board would set a broad policy of how the organization should be run and hire a professional to run it.

I think this would be a helluva lot better than what we now have.

sounds great to me. I still wonder why they would completely ignore Pat though?
