Understandable, but I think somewhere in the rules it said things were up to the track directors for what works for their program. The rules in black and white are what is to be run at large or national events. Some of us go to the large events and like it the way it is. On the local level the owner/operators should do what they need to do to keep the doors open, nothing wrong with that. I just don't agree with changing everything/anything because some areas are struggling while others are not. Just my opinion and not always the right one.
