I plan to attend. I hear that hearing is not as big an issue as the last time we went. Whining here isn't nearly as effective as attending the meeting.
Get off the couch and come tell them what you want! :cheers:
AMEN!Quote:

Glad I didn't encourage anyone to attend this one... Sorry, onething. I keep Tums in the car...
:( Thanks for going and representing us tailchaser, and for letting us know how the meeting went. Makes me glad I was in Chicago and couldn't attend. More of the same... :?Quote:

The one thing TC did neglect to mention:
It was decided last night that next season we'll be going back to the way things were done before (and the way things are done at ER), where worker assignments wil be first-come, first-served ('cept for prepays, which will be able to choose their annual assigment as in the past), and drivers will make two runs each in two heats that they aren't working in.
I'll be the first to admit that I voted for going back to the old way. As much as I would like to see all cars in the same class run in the same heat (and as frustrated as I am to see that we can't seem to make it work while other Regions can), the organizational changes necessary to make that happen have caused unforseen complications that have led to a general decrease in the level of fun at Regional events this season.
As much as I hate to agree with Peter, we tried the new way - over the course of seven events - and it never worked as well as the old way. Therefore, even though I was a vocal proponent of the new way in the beginning, I could see the logic in going back to the old way for next season. C'est la vie.
On a plus note:
It looks like Southwest Division is actually going to have a decent Divisional series next season. Spokes Autocross Club in Austin will be hosting an event in Pearland, TX (I think that's where it is?) at the Cooper Tire testing facility, which is supposed to be a very good, very large site. There is also talk of Texas Region hosting a Divisional round either at Grayson County Airport or at a large (bigger than Mineral Wells), smooth, concrete site near Ardmore, either of which ought to be closer than Min Wells for our "North Dallas Forty" contingent. :wink:
In addition, we may have some new sites for local events, depending on who wins the Presidential race in November. If Dubya gets voted out, we could go back to using a site in Waco that we had to vacate for "reasons of National Security" when he flies into his ranch in Crawford...

I agree with Majik any president past or present gets Secret Service protection until they are no long with us so that day will a long way off.Quote:

The divisional Spokes will be hosting is in Pearsall (waaaay south... some 50 miles south of San Antonio). Not Pearland

Are you kidding me? We voted on the damn thing twice. Who said it wasn't legal?Quote:
