Hi Rob --
Appreciate that you responded to my post. Thanks for the feedback.
It IS very telling though that the bolded part of your response above is such a concern. It really shows how far out of wack things have gotten in the distance between the have's & have not's. It also illustrates how racing clubs many times start behind the 8-ball in building any sort of trust w/this perception so prevalent out there.
So, for me -- Having a strong set of rules w/tech to level the playing field are a given. The run what you bring idea is simply to encourage car owners to compete & for better car counts. This only happens, of course, IF the "prevalent perception" is addressed & dealt with fairly and consistently.
