Each year, the Goff Racing cars, teams, or drivers are at the center of it all. Whether it's doing idiotic things on the track, complaining about weight and motors, or just the fact that they get back, they're always doing NOTHING good for the sport, period.
I also read where someone said that the Goff's sell tickets. Are you kidding me?! I know quite a few people that don't go to UMRA events, simply because of how the series is run and the Goff's. UMRA has not and will not stand up to the Goff's, especially Terry. UMRA's made their bed, so let them sleep in it. If my thought's are correct, they won't have a bed in a year or two.
Now, back to the new series. If this new series listens to the drivers and teams, then they can be successful. Have them be involved with everything that goes on. Have ALL of the rules "cut and dry", so there's no need for judgement calls, all of the time. Whether it's on the track, or down to motors and chassis. Really appreciate the racers and teams. This really goes a long way, I think! They are who is putting on a show for your series. Finally, appreciate the fans and give them some good, fair, quality entertainment that is we can tell is being run by a great, professional organization!
Thank you! :checkered:

We will rely heavily on the drivers and teams for imput. The door will always be open to suggestions. We are new to this side of racing and hopefully we can all work together to reduce the learning curve. It will take a few years to build up. I want an organization that will be around forever.
I want to make the rules as cut and dry as possible and have an experienced racing legal team helping with that. But I also know, as much as we try, there will be exceptions that warrant judgment call. Rules will then be changed to spell those out for the future. The rules should be as fair as possible. I just don't want to see deliberate acts of violence. There is no place in a dangerous sport for that. I trust that the officials will be able to tell the difference between a deliberate take out and a racing incident. A lot of racing is luck. I don't plan to change rules to decrease competition. I don't believe in penalizing someone because they weigh less or have worked hard to create a faster engine, within the specs. Now we will check for magnets on the gas pedals. So don't even try it. LOL
We want to create a series that allows for growth and improvement in the sport. Where drivers can get experience and perfect their skills. We want to create opportunities for drivers to move up if that's their wish or just have places to race. Some place where the fans can go to watch exciting racing and meet drivers. I want it to be fun again.
