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.

In Div 4 I would do away with any Points Race that is scheduled too early and too late in the year. Here are a few of the reasons, but just my opinion, on why all Div 4 events should be held during the mild Summer months down here..

During the early Spring and Fall months there are just way too many racers entered, the weather is great, the track is superior, its not dusty enough on the pit roads, and because of the weather you have to wear long sleeve shirts and jackets and sometimes its down right cold (30-40 degrees if you can believe it), your car will run way too fast, people even have open fires and sit around drinking beer until way too late at night and you have way too much fun, which can lead to oversleeping and running late the next morning.

Makes more sense to me to have them in June, July and August ?????

Sure makes sense to me......

Thumbs down Re: Which pts meet would you delete?

After racing at Stanton last weekend I heard several Racers say they would not go back there untill the track was repaved. I will say it was pretty rough in spots and several cars had trouble getting down it. I say every year that I won't be back, Yet I still go back there. Nice people just a crappy track. I would like to see Stanton replaced with St Louis or some where else.

I've said it a million times no races in July and August in D4. I have sent emails to IHRA and NHRA directors in D4 about this and it falls on deaf ears. Been doing it for 6 years now. Example Crandall race in May was rescheduled. I told Frank DO NOT have this race in July or August. I said it's to damn hot and numbers will be way down. Well guess what the race was in mid July and it was 106 outside. Makes sense to me.........

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