I hear you. But the question becomes "what are you doing about it?". It's VERY easy to point out problems, fixing them is where the skill comes in. And none of the problems you describe seem very difficult to fix at all...when the racers work together and create demand. Just waiting for someone, RD or otherwise, to come fix it for you ain't gonna work.

The key to this is that if the RACERS demand it there would be a regional event. Unfortunately, the attitude of these posts (intentionally or not) seems to be "do it for me...if you build it I will come". I absolutely believe that if the Nationals required Regional participation it would cause enough demand for Regionals by racers that tracks would line up (once again) to host an event.
But don't sit back--work with your local track. Let them know you would support a Regional. Even if it ISN'T required for Nationals participation. Don't make them have to guess.

Not to hi-jack the nats thread, but trust me. My intentions are not about "do it for me". I apologize if they came off that way. We did demand a regional race countless times only for our director to blow us off as said before. Its one of those huge long drawn out stories that nobody wants to hear about how bad its been here for years. Trust me when I say we as racers in this region are doing what we can to get things back on track, we just need the tracks and director to lend an ear.
Back to the Nats...

Congrats to the Plex. I'm sure you guys will put on another great event as usual. Looking forward to making the trip and seeing all the Omaha guys again.

I appreciate you taking time to come online and help us and answer questions on these kinds of issues, and keeping a good attitude too.
I know most organizational work like this is pretty thankless.
Thank you.
PS Congrats on all your write in votes. Will you accept VP again?

So, I told myself I wasn't going to race onroad this year...unless we get the nats. So now I have to get a car and practice a little bit, so I only get lapped twice instead of three times in mod.
