I applaud John for making this decision.

I won't throw my arm out of joint patting myself on the back, since I was one of the first to recommend allowing alum block cars.

I think we should all chill out and see if one of their races may be close to home, and we should all attend and support this group. We all love open wheel racng, right?

There's about (6) races I'll bring my car to, now that alum blocks are OK. I'll bring friends and family.

I do have (2) complaints.

John, you should man up and not hide behind your e mail as to why you made this choice. You've used this board for free advertising for how long? Now you don't want to talk to those of us that are you're target audience, all of a sudden? Bad move.

I think, and this is just my opinion (I know, I know, opinions are like...), but the one thing that will hold this series back now is the distance between tracks. I live outside Chicago and the races in Freeport, Il and Wisc are just too far for me. Same for the races in Kentucky.

But, you are bringing non wing sprint cars, my favorite, to tracks that otherwise wouldn't have them, and I am grateful for that.

I will race with you as much as possible and I encourage everyone to go see a show.

Shoot, Kieth Ford from Paragon posted about his races a few weeks ago, and he said, "If you can't come to Paragon, at least support your local track"
