If an advocate could be found - what would you say?

Tony,
In short, I said lots of folks run in several categories and if you ran in Stock or Super Stock you would have a better insight into your class racing question. And then I said that I had invited comments from all Categories? What else am I missing here????

I'm interested in a little more insight than the sportsman racing version of "it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand."

Ok, specifically you made a comment about your opinion not being of any real value on this thread. And I said you were wrong, but I did not specifically address the value of your comment. Now you're not happy about being wrong.

I said that I'm happy to be wrong as long as I can learn something from it. I'm asking to be educated. You saying "just because" isn't adding value.

Just Because? Last time for you. You posted that I might think your comment had no value. And then you said you would be happy to be wrong if that was not the case. I said you were wrong about this comment. That is, your comments do have value.

Now we have to return to the original intent of this thread. We have wondered in the woods long enough!

I don't want sportsman racing eliminated from national events, nor do I think it is going to happen anytime soon. If it did, I don't think it would be the end of the world.

I guess the class eliminations portion will remain a mystery to me, which isn't going to help me come around to your point of view. I'm sorry that intelligent discussion is too much to ask here. Maybe in another venue someday.

At the Orlando points meet I was the only car that pitted on the "spectator" side. I had a pretty steady flow of visitors. Almost every one of them asked me what the deal was with the way all the super class cars ran. I did my best to explain to them what was going on, but don't feel that I really won them over. Maybe this can be fixed with better announcing? I think that a lot more could be done to make sportsman racing more "fan friendly".

As a side note, the stands have been packed for Lights Out........
