Well in the last 20 years it seems that there has been a "downward" trend in manufacturer participation as well as racer participation not to even mention audience attendance at almost every level. Maybe the Peter Principle is taking effect here and the new marketing person will continue to have the same as results Mr Cromwell has had. IMHO !!!!! FED 387

I have used that term for years.....The Peter Principle.....True....

Now a President and a CEO....Great.....2 big salaries and golden parachutes instead of just one.

Hard to see this in a positive view considering the past few years.

I'd be happy if I was wrong....

Our Division 2 director Rich Schaefer speaks very highly of him so with my experience with Rich, all of which has been positive, I will give the man a chance. On the other hand I don't see what choice we have......

I think Rich Shaffer is the worst div 2 director we have had so far. Division 2 is all but dead. The car counts are down to a level we haven't seen before. We have no National opens or sports national type events in div 2. Now the LODRS events are down to a 2 day race. The 3 day events we used to get 3 Q runs on Friday and 2 on Saturday. Then possibly a first round on Saturday afternoon. We will still have to take a day off work. I would rather have the race Saturday and Sunday and not have to burn a vacation day on Friday.

I agree with you on the events going to Friday Saturday races...at least we could come up Saturday and get a few shots in and be ready for eliminations on sunday...now it's gonna be really hard to non existent to run the fri-saturday race with work schedule...it also doesn't hurt to lose atlanta which is 3 hours away....all of these tracks in GA, AL, MS and TN, and not any divisional races....

Obviously you don't care for Mr. Shaefer, but to say he is the WORST D 2 division director is stretching it. How could you forget Bill Holt ? GEEZ.....D 2 only has one problem ....there just aren't that many racers there...The only large fields they have are when the snowbirds would come down from the cold weather....and the 2018 schedule sure took care of that.....
