Question for Division 9 Racers only

*IF* your car's ready and nothing breaks, it's fine.... but that's a big if. I've run into problems that caused me to miss one or more of the March events on more than one occassion. In that respect, it would be advantageous to spread the races out more.

In my opinion, "single" events with a Saturday night Combo or bracket race are fine for tracks that can't start before Noon on Sundays. I'd like to see a double at Rockingham.

I would like to see a larger number of points races available to claim. Most Divisions had 8 races, while Div. 9 had only 5. That gives some people very little flexibility in their schedule. That could've been cured by allowing Darlington to be claimed as a "2 or 9" event, like it was the year before.

Twice now, despite living right in the heart of the region, I've claimed points in a different Division. That being said, I do always attend as many Pro-Ams as I can.

Just my opinion, and my opinion only. It does not reflect the opinion of any other racer, track, sanctioning body, or personnel therein.
